Abstract
The present Internet is not trustworthy, partially because the routing system forwards packets only according to destination IP address. Forged packets with mendacious source IP address will also be brought to the destination, which can be utilized to compromise the destination machine. In this paper, we propose to enhance BGP by adding Route Selection Notice functionality. With BGP Route Selection Notice, Autonomous Systems can validate the authenticity of incoming IP packets and filter out improper packets to make routing infrastructure offer support to trustworthy service. BGP Route Selection Notice does not impair the routing function of BGP and with proper design its bandwidth cost and convergence delay is acceptable which is proved by our simulation.
