Title : BGP Security Vulnerabilities Analysis
Author(s) : S. Murphy
Filename : draft-murphy-bgp-vuln-02.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2003-3-5
BGP, along with a host of other infrastructure protocols designed before the Internet
environment became perilous, was originally designed with little consideration for
protection of the information it carries. There are no mechanisms internal to the BGP
protocol to protect against attacks that modify, delete, forge, or replay data, any of
which has the potential to disrupt overall network routing behavior.
This internet draft discusses some of the security issues with BGP
routing data dissemination. This internet draft does not discuss
security issues with forwarding of packets.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
