BGP is a target of many attacks. Let's discover some BGP threats:
- False updates and prefix hijacking: This attack, sometimes named BGP hijacking, occurs when an autonomous system routes traffic to a hijacked autonomous system.
- De-aggregation: During this attack, an address block is divided into more specific blocks and prefixes.
- Contradictory advertisements: During this attack, the attacker redirects the traffic to another autonomous system.
- Instability: This attack occurs when BGP sessions are repeatedly time out
