Explanation

Destination-based Remote Triggered Black Hole (RTBH) routing is a DDoS mitigation technique where traffic to a victim's IP address is intentionally routed to a special next hop (usually Null0) so that the traffic is dropped as close to the source as possible. On the edge router (R1 in the figure), this is accomplished by installing /32 static routes for the victim endpoints, pointing to the null interface. When these routes are installed (often triggered via BGP in larger deployments), any traffic destined to those exact IP addresses is discarded. In the topology: Web server IP: 10.20.10.2 Mail server IP: 10.30.10.2 To perform destination-based RTBH at R1, we must configure static /32 routes to Null0 for each ip route 10.20.10.2 255.255.255.255 Null0 ip route 10.30.10.2 255.255.255.255 Null0 These correspond to: Option C for the web server (10.20.10.2) Option A for the mail server (10.30.10.2)
