A system and method for receiving a data packet including a destination address and a source address, categorizing the data packet into a community based on the source address, wherein the community is predefined by a user corresponding to the destination address and selecting a treatment for the data packet based on the community. The method may be implemented on a router to avoid and/or mitigate the harmful effects of a Distributed Denial of Service (“DDoS”) attack on a computer system or network.
