] By the way, what are your ideas on unicast RPF? I hear it's now also ] available on Juniper. I definitely like it and it has great applications in certain environments. It would also be nice if they added the reachable via-any knob, but that may come in time. It makes for easier administration of anti-spoofing in a lot of cases. URPF for all non-transit links with symmetric traffic flows would be a great start. ] The thing that's really unfortunate is that the large networks don't force ] their peers to do this. It's fairly trivial to set up something that ] catches some spoofed stuff (for instance, 192.168/16 sources) and tells ] you from which peer it came. Then you can tell them to get their act ] together or you'll depeer. If the tier-1 networks start to do this, ] spoofing will come to an end in our lifetimes. Since this is a ($) business, I don't think depeering will happen any time soon due to traffic spoofing as this would likely cause a very significant loss of revenue/peering/etc... There are likely also contractual obligations to consider in many cases. Some form of a penalty built into an agreement would definitely be nice, or even discounts/bonuses for those that do follow anti-spoofing guidelines. The incentive is just not there for this to take place on both sides, and the smaller folks are often the ones to feel the pain. ] As long as we're talking about anti-(D)DoS measures, tell me what you ] think of http://www.bgpexpert.com/antidos.php #1 is commonly used though it effectively does the attackers job for him, unless there is other infrastructure that is adversely affected as a result. Some have combined this with the use of backscatter tracing to track the actual source of the attack though I don't see any mention of this in the URL. #2 Should be used more, but it is a bit more difficult for transit links. This is relatively new in JUNOS and I've not yet taken the opportunity to add it to the templates. #3 This one makes very little sense. It seems quite vague with little operational detail and isn't very practical. Cheers, -- steve <- Previous Message | Next Message -> Thread Index |
