BGP - Security Hack


iBGP sending packet with value with TTL of 255

eBGP sending packet with value with TTL of 1

However:

BGP will accept packet with a TTL of any value if equal 1 or larger

It can be protected by ACL or by using MD5 hashing for BGP session.

Or  by using RFC 3682:

neighbor X>X>X>X ttl-security hops 5

(this will accept packet with TTL value of minimum 250 )
