How about using local-policy instead of HMR?

From-address *
To-address *@voip.myvoice.net<mailto:*@voip.myvoice.net>
Policy-attributes
                Next-hop            Softswitch

Realms, etc, would be pursuant to your needs, of course.

Subject: [VoiceOps] SBC's that drop traffic based on domain



In an effort to mitigate DDOS attack's I am trying to deny all traffic based on the request-uri host domain.  The reason being from what I see is "most" attacks are sent to the SBC's IP address and does use the domain name.  When the proper domain is supplied I would like to allow that packet.  All other I will not respond to period.

Example of hacker Requet URI
Ex. INVITE sip100:199.44.55.22 SIP/2.0

Legit Request URI
Ex. INVITE sip:7724558787 at voip.myvoice.net SIP/2.0



I have tried to create an HMR on ACME with little success.  I can get the registers to not respond yet only if sip:199.44.55.22 is use.  If the attacker uses sip:100 at 199.44.55.22 the SBC still will respond with a 403.
Besides that All invites are always responded to regardless even though the HMR(Header Manipulation) should be using Invite and registration meathods.

I have tried to get ACME to come up with a solution yet have been unsuccessful.  They will not even take my request for a feature enhancement.

Has anyone had any successful experience at implementing this on any other SBC platform?  I know there are many ways to protect yourself from DDOS attacks yet  to me this is a simple first line of defense.
