Dear Fellows, a simple configuration that can help to improve security on BGP tcp sessions is to establish it using ip loopback address on both sides, even in situations with only one link between routers. By doing that the ip address used are hidden from traceroute tools discovery. Also the ip address used can be no routeable outside both routers, which will naturally block ip traffic against the BGP tcp session from any other host. Regards, Eduardo Ascenço Reis.
