  1. Losing Control of the Internet: Using the Data Plane to Attack the Control Plane

  2. The Internet • Data Plane • Control Plane

  3. Autonomous Systems • Core ASes • Fringe ASes • Transit ASes

  4. Border Gateway Protocol • Connects Different ASes • Defines Route Selection • Updates

  5. Performance of BGP • Loss of Nodes • Re-advertisements • Route flapping • Mitigating Route Flapping

  6. Coordinated Cross Plane Session Termination Attack • Targeted Route Flapping • Targets BGP sessions • Attacks Transit ASes • Process • Effects

  7. Attacker Model • Unprivileged Adversary • Does not control BGP speakers • Generate Control Plane Events • Botnet

  8. Selecting Targets • Centrality measures • Traceroutes by Bots • Getting around ECMP routing

  9. CXPST and Dynamic Networks • CXPST changes network topology • Issues? • Compensation

  10. Beating Defenses • BGP Graceful Restart • Minimal Route Advertisement Intervals • Route Flapping Damper

  11. Simulation • Topology of the Network • The Botnet • BGP Update Generation • Time to Process Updates

  12. Simulation Results

  13. Possible Defenses • BGP Graceful Restart • Route Flap Dampening

  14. Stopping Session Failure • Disabling Holds • Service Class • Deployment Issues

  15. Attack Prevention • Interdomain Routing • Traffic Filtering • Packet Marking • Schedulers • DoS flooding Defenses • Surge Protection • Pushback • Phalanx All Fail!

  16. Discussions • Route Flapping Control • Denial of Service Defenses • Network Complexities • Long Term Defenses

  17. Conclusions • Control plane is vulnerable • No currently deployable solution • Short and long term solutions
