A method for providing a scrubbing service from a network, the method comprising: receiving, from an orchestrator of the network and at one of a plurality of scrubbing devices (212, 214, 216, 218, 220, 222) of a scrubbing environment, a scrubbing profile associated with a device of a telecommunications network, the scrubbing profile comprising an Internet Protocol, IP, address associated with the device; in response to receiving the scrubbing profile, announcing, by the one scrubbing device via a Border Gateway Protocol, BGP, announcement session, the IP address associated with the device; determining, by the orchestrator, that each of a plurality of denial of service attacks is occurring on the device and whether each said determined attack is larger than a threshold value associated with the one scrubbing device, and in response to each said determination that an attack is occurring while a said one scrubbing device is instructed to perform said announcing and that the attack is larger than the threshold value associated with that one scrubbing device: transmitting by the orchestrator, to another of the plurality of scrubbing devices (206, 208, 210) of the scrubbing environment, the scrubbing profile for the device of the telecommunications network; instructing, by the orchestrator, the one scrubbing device that is instructed to perform the announcing to cease announcing the IP address associated with the device; and announcing, by the another scrubbing device, the scrubbing profile transmitted by the orchestrator, the announcement through a second routing protocol announcement session, wherein the another scrubbing device comprises a larger input bandwidth than the one scrubbing device instructed to cease announcing. receiving, from an orchestrator of the network and at one of a plurality of scrubbing devices (212, 214, 216, 218, 220, 222) of a scrubbing environment, a scrubbing profile associated with a device of a telecommunications network, the scrubbing profile comprising an Internet Protocol, IP, address associated with the device; in response to receiving the scrubbing profile, announcing, by the one scrubbing device via a Border Gateway Protocol, BGP, announcement session, the IP address associated with the device; determining, by the orchestrator, that each of a plurality of denial of service attacks is occurring on the device and whether each said determined attack is larger than a threshold value associated with the one scrubbing device, and in response to each said determination that an attack is occurring while a said one scrubbing device is instructed to perform said announcing and that the attack is larger than the threshold value associated with that one scrubbing device: transmitting by the orchestrator, to another of the plurality of scrubbing devices (206, 208, 210) of the scrubbing environment, the scrubbing profile for the device of the telecommunications network; instructing, by the orchestrator, the one scrubbing device that is instructed to perform the announcing to cease announcing the IP address associated with the device; and announcing, by the another scrubbing device, the scrubbing profile transmitted by the orchestrator, the announcement through a second routing protocol announcement session, wherein the another scrubbing device comprises a larger input bandwidth than the one scrubbing device instructed to cease announcing. transmitting by the orchestrator, to another of the plurality of scrubbing devices (206, 208, 210) of the scrubbing environment, the scrubbing profile for the device of the telecommunications network; instructing, by the orchestrator, the one scrubbing device that is instructed to perform the announcing to cease announcing the IP address associated with the device; and announcing, by the another scrubbing device, the scrubbing profile transmitted by the orchestrator, the announcement through a second routing protocol announcement session, wherein the another scrubbing device comprises a larger input bandwidth than the one scrubbing device instructed to cease announcing.
