BGP ROUTE IDENTIFICATION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18436540 titled 'BGP ROUTE IDENTIFICATION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for identifying BGP routes based on the AS_PATH attribute.
- The network device obtains a BGP route with an AS_PATH attribute.
- The AS_PATH attribute includes a first AS number and a second AS number.
- The network device compares the first AS number with the AS number of the autonomous system it is located in.
- If the first AS number is equal to the second AS number, the network device determines the BGP route is abnormal.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in network security systems to detect abnormal BGP routes and potential routing attacks.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in identifying abnormal BGP routes that could indicate malicious activities or misconfigurations in the network.
Benefits
- Improved network security by detecting abnormal BGP routes. - Enhanced network performance by preventing routing issues caused by abnormal routes.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Network Security with BGP Route Identification Technology"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of anomaly detection algorithms in network routing protocols to identify abnormal routes.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact network performance?
This technology can potentially improve network performance by preventing routing issues caused by abnormal BGP routes.
What are the limitations of this technology in detecting abnormal BGP routes?
The technology may have limitations in detecting sophisticated routing attacks that disguise themselves as normal routes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A BGP route identification method and apparatus are provided. A network device obtains a BGP route. The BGP route includes an autonomous system path attribute AS_PATH attribute, the AS_PATH attribute includes a first autonomous system number AS number, an AS number corresponding to an autonomous system that the network device is located in or manages is a second AS number, and the first AS number is equal to the second AS number. The network device determines, based on the first AS number and the second AS number, whether the BGP route is abnormal.
