Ain't How You Deploy: An Analysis of BGP Security Policies Performance Against Various Attack Scenarios with Differing Deployment Strategies1

This paper investigates the performance of various Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security policies against multiple attack scenarios using different deployment strategies. Through extensive simulations, we evaluate the effectiveness of defensive mechanisms such as Root Origin Validation (ROV), Autonomous System Provider Authorization (ASPA), and PeerROV across distinct AS deployment types. Our findings reveal critical insights into the strengths and limitations of current BGP security measures, providing guidance for future policy development and implementation.
