A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: BGP Security Vulnerabilities Analysis
	Author(s)	: S. Murphy
	Filename	: draft-murphy-bgp-vuln-01.txt
	Pages		: 12
	Date		: 2002-10-28
	
BGP, along with a host of other infrastructure protocols designed before
the Internet environment became perilous, is designed with little
consideration for protection of the information it carries.  There are
no mechanisms in BGP to protect against attacks that modify, delete,
forge, or replay data, any of which has the potential to disrupt overall
network routing behavior.
This internet draft discusses some of the security issues with BGP
routing data dissemination.  A companion work, [5], discusses possible
security solutions and the costs of those solutions.  This internet
draft does not discuss security issues with forwarding of packets.

Send a message to:
	mailserv at ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-murphy-bgp-vuln-01.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
