Reinforcement of Security on BGP

The internet autonomous systems interchange their routes using BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). BGP is responsible to determine the way that IP datagram must follow to reach a target address. The attacks to BGP protocol can allow a malicious person rectifier IP datagram of another autonomous system, modify them and even leave inaccessible from all internet networks. The security in BGP is a crucial aspect for the accurate operation of the internet. But not only attacks must be considered, the network misconfiguration by administrators should also be considered. The aspect of security in BGP is critical because BGP maintains routing in the internet infrastructure. Depends on when a BGP host sends a packet to another host located in a different autonomous system correctly it reaches its destination. Once raised protocol vulnerabilities has developed an application for minimize risk. In this paper, we approach the main vulnerabilities of BGP protocol and the solutions to improve the security.
