Abstract:
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]
