| Distinct from | butler2010survey Same first author, five years apart, near-identical subject: 'A Survey of BGP Security' (2005, typed misc, no container) and 'A Survey of BGP Security Issues and Solutions' (2010, Proceedings of the IEEE). The 2005 record looks like an earlier technical-report version of the 2010 survey, which would make this a version relation rather than two independent works -- but I have not verified that against the documents, and neither record's copy has been compared. Flagged here for a reviewer rather than asserted. |

Abstract
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the de facto interdomain routing protocol of the Internet. Although the performance BGP has been historically acceptable, there are mounting concerns about its ability to meet the needs of the rapidly evolving Internet. A central limitation of BGP is its failure to adequately address security. Recent outages and security analyses clearly indicate that the Internet routing infrastructure is highly vulnerable. Moreover, the design and ubiquity of BGP has frustrated past efforts at securing interdomain routing. This paper considers the vulnerabilities of existing interdomain routing and surveys works relating to BGP security. The limitations and advantages of proposed solutions are explored, and the systemic and operational implications of their design considered. We centrally note that no current solution has yet found an adequate balance between comprehensive security and deployment cost. This work calls not only for the application of ideas described within this paper, but also for further introspection on the problems and solutions of BGP security.
