This is a 20+ year old solution. Ugly because you will block good traffic and 
on your effort to protect your network you will block legitimate traffic too 
(satisfying the attacker) but most upstream providers
will give  you a community to use (Cogent is a notable exception) and tag the 
prefix under attack so that the attack will not reach your network.
Sadly most IXs after 20 years they still don't understand the need for this 
community but at least someone has written an rfc so that all of us use the 
same community.
At least we made some progress there...

+1, exactly what we did. I also recommend implementing
per-upstream/region blackhole communities (so your users can choose who to 
blackhole as they see fit.)

Often time, DDoS traffic comes from regions that do not intersect with 
legitimate traffic.
