A review on inter-domain routing system vulnerabilities and security solutions

Abstract

The BGP-based inter-domain routing system plays an important role in the Internet. Not only the performance of data forwarding, but also the topology, robustness, and security of the Internet severely rely on inter-domain routing system. However, the BGP has design flaws, which result in many serious security issues for interdomain routing system. This paper analyzes the vulnerabilities and security threats of inter-domain routing system, and introduces some typical solutions which address to improve the security of inter-domain routing system.
