What is BGP FlowSpec?
BGP FlowSpec (RFC 5575) distributes traffic filtering rules via BGP. Instead of blackholing entire prefixes (RTBH), FlowSpec lets you surgically drop, rate-limit, or redirect specific traffic patterns — filtering by source/destination IP, protocol, port, packet length, DSCP, and TCP flags.
Production Warning: Always test FlowSpec rules in a lab environment first. Incorrect rules can inadvertently block legitimate traffic. Ensure your upstream provider supports FlowSpec and validate rules match your intended traffic patterns before deployment.

FlowSpec Match Types

Destination Prefix

The target IP or subnet being attacked. Usually your own prefix (e.g., 203.0.113.0/24). Required for most FlowSpec implementations.

Source Prefix

Filter by source IP or subnet of the attacker. Useful for known botnets or spoofed source ranges. Leave empty to match any source.

Protocol & Port

Match on IP protocol (TCP, UDP, ICMP) and destination/source port numbers. Essential for filtering amplification attacks targeting specific services.

Packet Length

Filter by IP packet size. Amplification attacks often have characteristic packet sizes (e.g., DNS responses >512 bytes, NTP monlist >440 bytes).

TCP Flags

Match specific TCP flag combinations: SYN, ACK, FIN, RST, PSH, URG. Critical for identifying SYN floods (SYN without ACK) or malformed packets.

Actions

Drop discards matching packets. Rate-limit throttles traffic to a specified bps. Redirect sends traffic to a scrubbing VRF for inspection.

Automate FlowSpec with Flowtriq

Flowtriq automatically generates and deploys FlowSpec rules when attacks are detected — no manual configuration needed. Our 4-level auto-escalation moves from local firewall to FlowSpec to RTBH to cloud scrubbing in seconds.
