Explanation

Remote Triggered Black Hole (RTBH) filtering is an efficient mechanism used to protect networks against data plane attacks, such as DDoS. It works by blackholing unwanted traffic at the edge of the network, preventing it from reaching the core. This ensures traffic from malicious sources is dropped without affecting legitimate traffic. In this scenario, where two service providers are sharing VPNv4 routes, RTBH filtering would effectively secure the data plane and protect against unwanted or malicious traffic.
