After a year of planning, Time Warner Telcom began production service of one of the first BGP Flow Specification based commercial mitigation offerings this August. In this talk, we provide an overview of BGP Flow Specification history/motivation, capabilities and current implementation status. We focus on TWTC deployment experiences with FlowSpec, including discussion of FlowSpec deployment planning, problems encountered during testing and initial service roll-out, and future mitigation plans.
