        Configuring BGP to Block Denial-of-Service Attacks

   This document describes an operational technique that uses BGP
   communities to remotely trigger black-holing of a particular
   destination network to block denial-of-service attacks.   Black-
   holing can be applied on a selection of routers rather than all
   BGP-speaking routers in the network.   The document also describes
   a sinkhole tunnel technique using BGP communities and tunnels to
   pull traffic into a sinkhole router for analysis.


Sincerely,

Sandy Ginoza - USC/ISI
