Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a server system providing web-based services to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by a traffic distribution module of the server system, a first request that has been identified as being indicative of a particular type of network attack;
routing, by the traffic distribution module, the first request to a selected one of a plurality of different defense layers, each of the plurality of different defense layers operable to perform a different combination of one or more defensive operations, wherein each of the plurality of different defense layers corresponds to the particular type of network attack, and wherein the routing is performed based on a set of distribution weightage values, including distribution weightage values assigned to each of the plurality of different defense layers;
receiving outcome information indicative of an effectiveness of one or more defensive operations performed, by the selected defense layer, on the first request;
based on the outcome information, determining an updated set of distribution weightage values; and
routing, by the traffic distribution module, subsequent requests that are identified as being indicative of the particular type of network attack based on the updated set of distribution weightage values.
