Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: determining, by a particular node in a network, information relating to network attack detection and mitigation from a local machine learning attack detection and mitigation system; sending, from the particular node, a message to an address in the network indicating capabilities of the local machine learning attack detection and mitigation system based on the information; in response to the sent message, receiving, at the particular node, an indication that the node is a member of a collaborative group of nodes along with one or more other nodes in the network based on the capabilities of the local machine learning attack detection and mitigation system being complementary to capabilities of one or more other machine learning attack detection and mitigation systems local to the one or more other nodes; and in response to an attack being detected by the local machine learning attack detection and mitigation system, providing, by the particular node to the collaborative group of nodes, an indication of attack data flows identified as corresponding to the attack, thereby enabling the one or more other machine learning attack detection and mitigation systems local to the one or more other nodes to assist the particular node in mitigating the attack.
