A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6811 Title: BGP Prefix Origin Validation Author: P. Mohapatra, J. Scudder, D. Ward, R. Bush, R. Austein Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: January 2013 Mailbox: pmohapat at cisco.com, jgs at juniper.net, dward at cisco.com, randy at psg.com, sra at hactrn.net Pages: 10 Characters: 20082 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-sidr-pfx-validate-10.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6811.txt To help reduce well-known threats against BGP including prefix mis- announcing and monkey-in-the-middle attacks, one of the security requirements is the ability to validate the origination Autonomous System (AS) of BGP routes. More specifically, one needs to validate that the AS number claiming to originate an address prefix (as derived from the AS_PATH attribute of the BGP route) is in fact authorized by the prefix holder to do so. This document describes a simple validation mechanism to partially satisfy this requirement. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the Secure Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
