Abstract:
A method and apparatus for enabling peer networks to reduce the exchange of unwanted traffic are disclosed. For example, the method receives at least one of: a source Internet Protocol (IP) address or a source IP address prefix that has been identified as a source of the unwanted traffic, by an originating peer network from a terminating peer network. The method then blocks the unwanted traffic destined to the terminating peer network by the originating peer network.
