FCC pushes ISPs to fix security flaws in Internet routing | Chair: Addressing BGP flaws will "help make our Internet routing more secure."


Chair: Addressing BGP flaws will "help make our Internet routing more secure."

The FCC said the initial design of BGP that remains widely deployed today "does not include intrinsic security features to ensure trust in the information that is relied upon to exchange traffic among independently managed networks on the Internet." The draft said the stricter reporting requirements would apply to AT&T, Altice, Charter, Comcast, Cox, Lumen (aka CenturyLink), T-Mobile, TDS (including subsidiary US Cellular), and Verizon. The large providers would be allowed to stop submitting annual plans once they "attest that they are maintaining ROAs covering at least 90 percent of originated routes for IP address prefixes under their control."
