ZebOS server designed to thwart BGP hijackers
IP Infusion Inc. announced this week it plans to ship a Linux-based server designed to thwart hackers’ attempts to hijack Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) communications.
ZebOS Internet Route Server, which is aimed at service providers, includes a configured server that operators can use to view routes, monitor and track Internet exchanges.
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based IP Infusion, which is owned by Access Co. Ltd. of Tokyo, said with BGP hijacking, illegal routing information can be distributed – due to attacks or errors – and cause traffic to be routed to the wrong gateway. The vendor said ZebOS Internet Route Server supports a BGP view for multiple clients, allowing network operators to group BGP peers absed on requirments and assign “unified policies” for inbound and outbound traffic.
