Flow Specification Family¶

The BGP Flow Specification (BGP-FS) Multiprotocol extension can be used to distribute traffic flow specifications. For example, the BGP-FS can be used in a case of (distributed) denial-of-service (DDoS) attack mitigation procedures and traffic filtering (BGP/MPLS VPN service, DC).

Configuration ¶

This section shows a way to enable BGP-FS family in BGP speaker and peer configuration.

BGP Speaker ¶

To enable BGP-FS support in BGP plugin, first configure BGP speaker instance:

Usage ¶

The flowspec route represents rules and an action, defined as an extended community.

IPv4 Flow Specification ¶

The IPv4 Flowspec table in an instance of the speaker’s Loc-RIB can be verified via REST:
