    Group
  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to use the prefix limit feature to protect against route table flooding and prefix deaggregation attacks.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The effects of prefix deaggregation can degrade router performance due to the size of routing tables and also result in black...

    Group
  • The Juniper multicast RP router must be configured to limit the multicast forwarding cache so that its resources are not saturated by managing an overwhelming number of PIM and MSDP source-active entries.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;MSDP peering between networks enables sharing of multicast source information. Enclaves with an existing multicast topology u...

    Group
  • The Juniper multicast Rendezvous Point (RP) must be configured to rate limit the number of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Register messages.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;When a new source starts transmitting in a PIM Sparse Mode network, the DR will encapsulate the multicast packets into regist...
