Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments may enable the reduction of the impact of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) hijacks by automatically announcing more-specific route prefixes when a netblock is hijacked. In various embodiments, the more-specific route prefixes may be automatically withdrawn when the netblock hijacking stops.
