The End of Undetected BGP Route Hijacking
BGP protocol is simple & the same on every router
BGP routers relay messages to neighbors about routes
Routes are constructed hop-by-hop, beyond the originator’s control
• BGP policy is complex, local, & without any global coordination
Local policies for accepting, rejecting and propagating routes
This is good: Great flexibility to support business objectives
This is bad: Vulnerability to bogus route propagation
