In this context, a long-standing and very popular technique known as \u2018AS Path Prepending\u2019 has been devised as a key strategy for influencing route selection and optimizing an AS\u2019s inbound and outbound traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this document, we will navigate through the IETF draft titled \u201cAS Path Prepending\u201d&nbsp;[1], which includes several ideas and concepts that are of great value to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About draft-ietf-grow-as-path-prepending<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This draft has been under discussion within the Global Routing Operation (GROW) Working Group since 2020 and is currently on version 10. The document has seven co-authors: M. McBride, D. Madory, J. Tantsura, R. Raszuk, H. Li., J. Heitz, and G. Mishra. It predominantly received support on the discussion list (including my own). You can read the draft <a href=\"https:\/\/datatracker.ietf.org\/doc\/draft-ietf-grow-as-path-prepending\/09\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is AS Path Prepending?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AS Path Prepending is a technique that involves repetitively adding one&#8217;s autonomous system identifier (ASN) to the list of ASs in a BGP route path (AS_PATH). Its goal is to influence route selection by making certain paths less attractive to inbound\/outbound traffic. In other words, it consists of adding our autonomous system to the AS_PATH and therefore artificially \u201clengthening the path\u201d to a prefix on the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"661\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig1-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-1024x661.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig1-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-1024x661.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig1-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig1-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-768x495.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig1-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino.png 1516w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the figure above, without prepends, Router A prefers to go to C via B.

The main reason is undoubtedly <strong>traffic engineering<\/strong>, which in turn is used to influence an AS&#8217;s inbound and outbound traffic. It is very likely that the AS wishes to achieve one of the following goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>to distribute traffic among two or more upstream providers, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to have an upstream backup provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the case, the goal is traffic engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To prepend or not to prepend, that is the question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepending is a bit like NAT in that it is often a necessary evil. As we will explain, its excessive and sometimes unnecessary use can become a vulnerability with significant implications for network stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s wrong with using AS Path Prepending?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know that AS Path Prepending is a very common technique to influence BGP decisions. However, its excessive, incorrect, and sometimes unnecessary use can have negative consequences. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creation of suboptimal traffic flows. In other words, we may achieve our goal of distributing traffic in the immediate links; however, beyond our immediate upstream, traffic is not optimized to reach our autonomous system and vice versa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prefix de-aggregation. When implementing traffic engineering, it is very common to de-aggregate prefixes, which affects the Internet ecosystem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the event of a route-leak, under normal circumstances, the as-path of our advertisements would be shorter than that of the leaked route. However, if we artificially lengthen the path by prepending, the as-path of the leaked routes may be shorter than those we are legitimately announcing for our legitimate prefix, which would have lower preference, leading to potential route hijacking, attacks, and a long etcetera.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Memory consumption. As expected, these AS Path Prepends are learned by BGP Speakers, thus increasing their memory usage. To this I would add that prepending introduces a small additional CPU usage penalty for each prefix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Given that AS Path Prepend is no longer recommended, what alternatives are available?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many techniques for performing traffic engineering in BGP. I will mention some that appear in the draft:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leveraging BGP communities. In addition to the well-known BGP communities, I recommend talking to your BGP peers to optimize traffic. There are numerous BGP communities implemented by providers, which might certainly benefit your setup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Announcing more specific routes to your main upstreams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manipulating the AS Origin Code. Remember that this attribute is also found in the BGP route selection algorithms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using Multi Exit Discriminator (MED), a non-transitive attribute that can be used with excellent results for manipulating inbound traffic when we have several links to the same provider<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using Local-Preference, another non-transitive attribute, perfect for influencing the traffic that leaves our autonomous system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is all well and good, but I still need to use AS Path Prepending. Any suggestions?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The draft mentions the best current practices when using AS Pat Prepending, which I will summarize below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Only use AS Path Prepending if it is absolutely necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Due to some traffic manipulation techniques, when using AS Path Prepending, we may not see significant changes in the traffic distribution, which is why it is important to talk to our peers to see if they will honor the prepends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use local-preference on our network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t prepend ASNs that you don&#8217;t own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t prepend if you are connected to a single ISP using a single link, i.e., single homed (this one is not included in the draft).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If we prepend a prefix, it might not be necessary to use that prepend for all our peers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is no need to use more than five prepends. The reason for this is that more than 90% of path are five ASs or fewer in length.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"758\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig2-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-1024x758.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig2-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-1024x758.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig2-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig2-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-768x568.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig2-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino-1536x1137.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fig2-un-rfc-sobre-bgp-viene-en-camino.png 1646w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(image taken from: https:\/\/www.potaroo.net\/ispcol\/2019-10\/prepending.pdf)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of AS Path Prepending is a valuable strategy but <strong>should be used only when necessary and with caution, following best practices<\/strong>.
