  1. BGPSEC Protcol Error Handling IETF 87 Berlin, Germany Wednesday, 31 Jul 2013 Friday, 2 Aug 2013 SIDR IETF 87 Berlin, German

  2. BGPSEC-Protocol Errors Noted • MUST/MUST NOT in various places • Error handing mentioned in some of them • Section 5.2: Validation Algorithm • “properly formed” – steps 1-5 • dealing with signatures and validity SIDR IETF 87 Berlin, German

  3. BGPSEC Protocol Error Response • Section 5.2: • If any of these checks identify an error in the BGPSEC_Pathattribute, then the implementation should notify the operator that an error has occurred and treat the update in a manner consistent with other BGP errors (i.e., following RFC 4271[2] or any future updates to that document). • Section 4.3: • Such an error is treated in exactly the same way as receipt of a non-BGPSEC update message containing an AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE from a peer that is not a member of the same AS confederation. SIDR IETF 87 Berlin, German

  4. BGP Error Handling • RFC4271 – Usually NOTIFICATION messageis sent with code/subcode and the BGP connection is closed • RFC5065 - error handling for confederations (AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE presence from non-confed member and vice versa) – another NOTIFICATION subcode • IDR draft draft-ietf-idr-error-handling-04.txt • Three possible responses • "session reset” • "treat-as-withdraw" • "attribute discard” SIDR IETF 87 Berlin, German

  5. What to Do? • Should response be more specific? • Response Choice: • Follow RFC4271 (Notification with code/subcode and close session)? • Follow idr error handling draft? • If so, which errors get which response? SIDR IETF 87 Berlin, German

  6. BGPSEC-Protocol Draft Error Handling • “Properly formed” checks in Section 5.2 • check syntactic correctness • each Signature_Block has one Signature for each Secure Path segment • check that AS_PATH not present • for non-confed-member neighbor, ensure Confed_Sequence flag is not set • pcount=0 but peer is not configured to use pcount=0 • “treat the update in a manner consistent with other BGP errors” SIDR IETF 87 Berlin, German

  7. BGPSEC-Protocol Draft Error Handling • Section 5.2: unable to find key – mark Signature_Block Not Valid • Section 5.2: no supported signature – consider unsigned • Section 5.2: no matching covering ROA for AS: mark route Not Valid • Section 5.2: signature fails, mark Signature_Block Not Valid • Section 5.2: no valid Signature_Block, mark route Not Valid • Section 4.3 (forward ref to 5.2) • Checks if confed bit set when neighbor not in confed • No text for vice versa case: i.e., confedbit not set from confed member SIDR IETF 87 Berlin, German

  8. BGPSEC-Protocol Draft Error Handling • Error handling for MUST NOT? • E.g., Section 4.2 If a BGPSEC router has received only a non-BGPSEC update message (without the BGPSEC_Path attribute), …. then it MUST NOT attach any BGPSEC_Path attribute to the corresponding update being propagated. • If neighbor messes up and produces a BGPSEC_PATH attribute anyway, and strips the AS_PATH, will that be caught? SIDR IETF 87 Berlin, German
