Can any of you cite cases where an attack has been carried out against a network's routing protocol (BGP or OSPF in particular)? I heard people talking about a Dos (not DDos) attack from your neighbor peer router that overflows your routing table with too much data. I am not aware of any DDos on routing packets(?).There are chances for man-in-the-attacks between BGP sessions. The question is how much the crypto- based security mechanisms like MD5 helps prevent routing vulnerabilities. But, I guess misconfiguration can also be considered as a reason behind many vulnerabilities.
