Abstract
A method of providing infrastructure protection for a server of a network organization, the method including announcing, as an internet protocol (IP) address associated with a server of a plurality of servers, a first anycast IP address, the first anycast IP address being one of a plurality of anycast IP addresses that each serve as an anycast address for a scrubbing center network. Each of the plurality of anycast IP addresses is allocated to a respective server of the plurality of servers by the scrubbing center network. The scrubbing center network may receive an incoming network packet intended for the server, the incoming network packet identified using the first anycast IP address. The scrubbing center network may determine whether the incoming network packet is legitimate and if so, the incoming network packet may be routed to the server using a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel.
