NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

Research Forum: Pretty Good BGP and the Internet Alert Registry
Meeting: NANOG37

Room: Exhibit Hall 3
Presenters: Speakers:
Josh Karlin, University of New Mexico.
Abstract: The Internet\'s interdomain routing protocol, BGP, is vulnerable to a number of damaging attacks primarily due to operator misconfiguration. Proposed solutions with strong guarantees require a public-key infrastructure, accurate routing registries, and changes to BGP. Until such a large proposal is adopted, networks will remain vulnerable to false information injected into BGP. However, BGP routers could avoid selecting and propagating these routes if they were cautious about adopting new reachability information. We describe a protocol-preserving enhancement to BGP, Pretty Good BGP (PGBGP), that slows the dissemination of disruptive routes, providing network operators time to respond before the problem escalates into a large-scale Internet attack.
