"Outbound Route Filtering Capability for BGP-4", Enke Chen, Yakov Rekhter, 25-Sep-06. ( bytes)

This document defines a BGP-based mechanism that allows a BGP speaker to send to its BGP peer a set of route filters that the peer would use to constrain/filter its outbound routing updates to the speaker.

"Definitions of Managed Objects for the Fourth Version of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4), Second Version", Jeffrey Haas, 11-Nov-07. ( bytes)

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular it defines objects for managing the Border Gateway Protocol, Version 4.

"Address Prefix Based Outbound Route Filter for BGP-4", Enke Chen, Srihari Sangli, 21-Jul-06. ( bytes)

This document defines a new Outbound Router Filter type for BGP, termed "Address Prefix Outbound Route Filter", that can be used to perform address prefix based route filtering. This ORF-type supports prefix length or range based matching, wild-card based address prefix matching, as well as the exact address prefix matching for address families.

"Dissemination of flow specification rules", Pedro Roque Marques, Nischal Sheth, Robert Raszuk, Barry Greene, Danny McPherson, 2-Apr-08. ( bytes)

This document defines a new BGP NLRI encoding format that can be used to distribute traffic flow specifications. This allows the routing system to propagate information regarding more-specific components of the traffic aggregate defined by an IP destination prefix. Additionally it defines two applications of that encoding format. One that can be used to automate inter-domain coordination of traffic filtering, such as what is required in order to mitigate (distributed) denial of service attacks. And a second application to traffic filtering in the context of a BGP/MPLS VPN service. The information is carried via the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), thereby reusing protocol algorithms, operational experience and administrative processes such as inter-provider peering agreements.
