I used to be a quality control engineer in my career, so I have a question to ask from the perspective of a QC guy: what is the Best Practice for minimizing, if not totally preventing, this sort of problem? Is there a "cookbook" answer to this?
(I only run edge networks now, and don't have BGP to worry about. If my current $dayjob goes away -- they all do -- I might have to get back into the BGP game, so this is not an idle query.)
Somehow "just be careful and clueful" isn't the right answer.
Here are some resources which maybe can serve as a starting point for anyone interested in the problem space: presentation: Architecting robust routing policies pdf: https://ripe77.ripe.net/presentations/59-RIPE77_Snijders_Routing_Policy_Arch... video: https://ripe77.ripe.net/archive/video/Job_Snijders-B._BGP_Policy_Update-2018... presentation: Practical Everyday BGP filtering "Peerlocking" pdf: http://instituut.net/~job/NANOG67_NTT_peerlocking_JobSnijders.pdf video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSLpWBrHy10 RFC 8212 ("EBGP default deny") and why we should ask our vendors like Cisco IOS, IOS XE, NX-OS, Juniper, Arista, Brocade, etc... to be compliant with this RFC: slides 2-14: http://largebgpcommunities.net/presentations/ITNOG3-Job_Snijders_Recent_BGP_... skip to the rfc8212 part: https://youtu.be/V6Wsq66-f40?t=854 compliance tracker: http://github.com/bgp/RFC8212 The NLNOG Day in Fall 2018 has a wealth of RPKI related presentations and testimonies: https://nlnog.net/nlnog-day-2018/ Finally, there is the NLNOG BGP Filter Guide: http://bgpfilterguide.nlnog.net/ If you spot errors or have suggestions, please submit them via github https://github.com/nlnog/bgpfilterguide Please let me or the group know should you require further information, I love talking about this topic ;-) Kind regards, Job
