Quoting Lumen DDoS Hyper (1:06)
Lumen DDoS Hyper service requires:
- IPv4 and/or IPv6 protection
- If Lumen is the sole internet provider and you’re protecting IPv4 - IP prefixes can be between /8 and /32. If some or all of your internet service is provided by a third party, the IPv4 Prefixes must be between /8 and /24.
- If Lumen is the sole internet provider and you’re protecting IPv6 – IP prefixes can be between /29 and /128. If some or all of your internet service is provided by a third party, the IPv6 Prefixes must be between /29 and /48.
There are some Lumen Internet services that may require additional configuration in order to work with Lumen DDoS Hyper. We have two models in which we can support Lumen network customers:
- Internet direct – requires the following configurations:
- Must be a Lumen DIA/HSIP service on AS3356
- BGP or Static routing protocols with WAN IP up to /27
- DDoS protection type must be On-Demand if you have a Lumen managed router.
- Multiport circuits not supported (combination of DIA/MPLS circuits on different VLANs)
- GRE – requires the following configurations:
- Customer must be able to configure a GRE tunnel with BGP peering.
- For non-Lumen Internet service options, you must use a GRE tunnel clean traffic return with BGP peering.

FAQs
DDoS attacks come in various forms, including volumetric attacks, protocol attacks and application layer attacks. Each type targets different aspects of a network or service.
The best protection against DDoS attacks includes a combination of firewalls, intrusion detection systems and DDoS mitigation services to detect and block malicious traffic. Be prepared for whatever attackers throw your way with automated digital protection you can activate at the first signs of an incident.
Lumen DDoS Hyper is a DDoS mitigation solution that can be quoted, purchased and configured through our online portal in a matter of minutes, not hours. DDoS attacks can happen when you least expect them. With DDoS Hyper, you can take advantage of feature‑rich DDoS mitigation that can be tailored to your needs at the snap of a finger.
As you’re considering a DDoS mitigation solution with Lumen, you can explore all the options available to your business through our self‑serve online portal—Lumen Marketplace. You can easily purchase a tailored DDoS mitigation solution instantly and prep for configuration.
Once Lumen is protecting your business, we can defend against DDoS attacks by rerouting customer traffic using BGP advertisements through our global multi‑tiered scrubbing centers for cleaning. Attack traffic is filtered out and legitimate traffic is sent back to the customer.
Contract terms are flexible—go monthly or sign up for a whole year. You can take advantage of flat, predictable pricing that won’t change if you’re attacked.
Lumen uses multiple layers of defense including our global internet backbone, intelligent scrubbing centers, extensive peering and Black Lotus Labs® threat intelligence. All of this works together to proactively block threats before they become attacks.
Customers can choose between two models of mitigation:
- On-Demand mitigation – traffic is only scrubbed when an attack is detected, or mitigation is activated. Your network is still constantly monitored.
- Always-On mitigation – traffic is continually scrubbed and monitored.
- On-Demand or Always-On DDoS attack mitigation
- Clean traffic return via Internet Direct for Lumen DIA customers and/or via a GRE tunnel for over-the-top protection on third-party internet services
- Up to 100 Gbps of clean traffic return with up to 10 clean traffic return paths (CTRP) and 10 Flow-Based Monitoring (FBM) instances. Up to 50 CTRPs and FBM instances are available for an additional charge.
- Real-time portal access to analyze performance during peacetime, day two management with event reporting and extensive attack visibility, historical threat data and the ability to make changes to your solution.
- Optional services:
- SOC Advanced Support provides run book development, analysis and reporting tailored to your business needs.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides web application firewall, API protection and Bot Risk Management for additional layer 7 defense.

You must call the Lumen SOC to finalize the activation of your service before any mitigation can begin. You can contact the SOC by calling them directly: (866) 254-5210 – menu option 2 for DDoS Mitigation activation.
The service is monitored 24/7 by Lumen global SOCs with most known forms of attacks being mitigated in seconds after the traffic hits the scrubbing centers.
It depends on what mitigation model you’ve purchased.
On-Demand customers options:
- SOC-assisted: The Lumen SOC automatically detects the attack, notifies the customer and begins mitigating the attack once customer approval is given.
- Auto-mitigation: The Lumen SOC, subject to customer pre-approval, sets up auto-mitigation, which allows mitigation to occur when an attack is detected.
- Customer-requested: You may choose the option to contact the Lumen SOC when under attack to request the start of mitigation.
Always-On Customers:
- Always scrubbed: your traffic is always routed through Lumen Mitigation infrastructure. There is no need to request a mitigation since the traffic is always being cleaned. Attack notifications can be set up with our SOC.
- Customer-initiated: mitigation is in your hands. Customers have complete control over initiating mitigation. You can still contact the Lumen SOC if you need additional help.
The Lumen SOC can be contacted directly by calling: 866-254-5210 – menu option 2 for DDoS Mitigation activation.
If there is a need to escalate a potential DDoS attack or issue a trouble ticket to the Lumen Security Operations Center management team, the escalation path can be found on page 2 of the “Managed Security” section in the Lumen Service Assurance Escalation Matrix website: https://repairescalations.lumen.com/
