BGP Secure Routing Extension (BGP-SRx): Reference Implementation and Test Tools for Emerging BGP Security Standards

The NIST BGP Secure Routing Extension (BGP-SRx) prototype is an open source reference implementation and research platform for investigating emerging BGP security extensions and supporting protocols such as RPKI Origin Validation and BGPSec Path Validation. BGP-SRx is designed in such to minimize the dependencies on and the impact on specific router implementations. As a result, much functionality is provided by the stand-alone SRx server module. The prototype is also designed to support experimentation with various deployment architectures. As a result, the SRx module can run on the router, the validating cache, or on a completely separate platform.
