IX networks: Preventing denial of service attacks on BGP sessions

The stability of BGP sessions plays an essential role in the reliability of the whole Internet. Ensuring that existing BGP sessions stay up even when your routers are under attack is a complex undertaking. We will:

? Discuss GTSM, and some challenges when deploying it
? Demonstrate ways to test your own infrastructure
? Discuss protecting existing BGP sessions with routeable IPs using automated layer 4 filters instead of layer 3
? Discuss using non-routable IPs between BGP peers from 100.64.0.0/16 and fd00::/8 to simplify correct filtering
