The issue here is people deliberately injecting bogus routing information. Any "chain of trust" systems break down if there's somebody abusing the trust. This means that tier-1 ISPs shouldn't trust routing information coming from tier-2 ISPs, etc. That leaves the only workable option - cryptographical authentication of routes, by the presense of signature by a trusted address space registry. --vadim Date: Wed, 7 Jan 1998 12:39:26 +0300 (MSK) From: "Alex P. Rudnev" <[email protected]> To: Vadim Antonov <[email protected]> I am sorry, but what for do you want it? Why is not efficient to use AS identification in conjuction to IP prefix filtering at the 1't level ISPs (and may be 2'nd level too), based on the NIC data base.
