Abstract

BGP has been known to be vulnerable to hijacking and path manipulation attacks for many years. Several solutions have been proposed to secure either the origin, the path, or both. A known issue for new ideas is their evaluation. Simulation environments are easy to use but can only mimic real-world deployments to a certain extent. In this work, we propose BGPEval. A framework that is capable of creating large-scale testbeds based on the KVM hypervisor and Docker container technology that mimics the interconnection of ASes according to a provided AS graph. We use several layers of abstraction to spawn and interconnect as many as 55,000 containers. Our work takes significant effort away from an evaluator, who can now focus on the implementation rather than the creation of testbeds for the evaluation.
