I don't think anyone uses S-BGB or soBGP in the wild--except on Internet2 (debatable whether I2 is in the wild). Mostly just labs and classrooms...? We get zmap/nmap/xmap scans on our BGP speakers constantly. However, most people do a tight lockdown on anything internet-exposed, limiting useful information for most speakers to whatever their prime function is (routing, gathering, reflecting, etc.) --Patrick Darden -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Anthony Weems Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 9:58 PM To: NANOG Subject: [EXTERNAL]BGP Security Research Question I'm a student in college learning about networking and, specifically, BGP. Does anyone have any statistics on the use of S-BGP or soBGP in the wild? I've read a few papers / RFCs on the subject (from Cisco and the like), but I haven't been able to find any information about actual usage. Additionally, do people scan BGP speakers in the same sense that researchers perform scans of the Internet (e.g. zmap)? -- Anthony Weems
