BGP and attack vectors are mostly unrelated (other than BGP can present a network to the internet and thus exposing it to attack).

 

There are many things F5 BigIP can detect and report on regarding layer 3 attacks. AFM and ASM provide some of those, as well as services like Silverline and IP Intelligence. The first 3 should be able to give you a report on the attacked IP, the last just blocks known bad actors before they attack anything.
