Day One: Deploying BGP Routing Security

Secure, field-tested, device and protocol configurations for running Junos® OS routers in the BGP default-free zone.

This book is intended for network administrators running Junos OS routers in the BGP default-free zone. It provides field-tested device and protocol configurations for creating a secure and stable network, as well as brief background information needed to understand and deploy these solutions in your own environment. While many network administrators may find the contents of this book interesting, its real value is to those running a BGP network without having a default route present in their network (or accepting such a route from their upstream provider) – the default-free zone.

“High-quality Internet services require a global routing table of equally high quality and in this very practical book the authors show how you can improve that global table using the tools available today. It’s easy to read, with detailed tutorials, and even includes copy and paste Junos configuration examples. Whether you have just started working with Internet routing or have done so for many years, this book will show you how to do it better.” – Torunn Narvestad, Senior IP Network Architect, Telenor Norway

“Melchior and Niels have done a fantastic job consolidating a ton of tribal knowledge and disparate information sources into an easy-to-read RPKI Origin Validation deployment guide. This book will help lower the barrier to run a secure and robust network!” – Job Snijders, Internet Architect, NTT Communications

IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO:

Understand the relevance of filtering routes as you learn them from your customers, peers, and transits.
Understand what portion of via BGP received routes should be rejected for securing your routing table.
Implement routing policies that reject invalid routing information.
Understand and implement redundant Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) validators.
Verify your configuration and support your network using basic troubleshooting commands.
How to use RIR tools to make sure your routes and prefixes are accepted by other ISPs who filter and/or have deployed RPKI.
