• Remove private ASes from announcements

  • Common omission today

• Use extensive filters, with “backup”

  • Use as-path filters to backup prefix-lists
  • Use route-maps for policy

• Use password agreed between you and peer on eBGP session

• Use maximum-prefix tracking

  • Router will warn you if there are sudden increases in BGP table size, bringing down eBGP if desired
