Due to this central nature, it is important to understand the security and reliability requirements that can and should be ensured to prevent accidental or intentional routing disturbances. Previously, security considerations for BGP have been described in RFC7454 / BCP194. Since the publications of RFC7454, several developments and changes in operational practice took place that warrant an update of these best current practices. This document obsoletes RFC7454, focusing on the overall goals, and providing a less implementation centric set of best practices. This document describes security requirements and goals when operating BGP for exchanging routing information with other networks, and explicitly does not focus on specific technical implementations and requirements.}, }
