Linux-based route server battles BGP attacks

“Designed to manage routing information exchange, the ZebOS
Internet Route Server is also paired with support for anti-BGP
hijacking, says IP Infusion. BGP hijacking is said to exploit the
framework of the BGP Internet routing protocol to propagate illegal
routing information. Once such information is propagated, traffic
can be re-directed to the offending gateway, thereby causing a
“black hole” and disruption of services, says the San Jose-based
Access subsidiary.

“The ZebOS Internet Route Server is available as a fully
configured server, that can be used for route-viewing, monitoring,
and policy controlled route transmission in the control plane, says
IP Infusion. The software is said to create a BGP view for multiple
clients that enables network operators to easily group BGP peers
and then assign unified policies for inbound and outbound
traffic.”
