Enhance Network Hygiene with Bogon Filtering

By filtering out Bogon IPs using our no cost Bogon Reference Community Service, you'll significantly reduce the risk of DDoS attacks and malicious traffic, ensuring a more robust and reliable network.

Ensure Network Integrity:

Bogon IPs are invalid for public internet traffic. By filtering them, you ensure that only legitimate traffic flows through your network, improving its overall integrity.

Stay Updated for Maximum Efficiency:

The landscape of Bogon and Full Bogon IPs is ever-evolving. Use our real-time BGP sessions to keep your lists current, optimizing your network's defense mechanisms.

Strengthen Anti-Spoofing Measures:

Incorporating bogon filtering amplifies your network's anti-spoofing capabilities, making it more resistant to deceptive traffic sources.

Get Started: Liberate your network from Bogons

Strengthen Anti-Spoofing Measures:

1. Get in touch with our team by using the form on this page to leave your details and requirements.

2. Select the Bogon Reference that will meet your needs:

  • HTTP : Achieve swift and direct access.

  • BGP Peering (Bogon Route Service Project): Stay ahead with real-time routing updates.

  • Routing Registries (RADb and RIPE NCC): Access authoritative address allocation data.

  • DNS: Ensure precise domain resolutions with name system lookups.

3. Specify your peering Request.  We typically provide two peering sessions per remote peer for redundancy, if you require a different number of sessions, please let us know in your request.

4. Sign our Terms and Memorandum of Understanding that outline the details and limitations of the program.

What you need to know in advance

By filtering out Bogon IPs using our no cost Bogon Reference Community Service, you'll significantly reduce the risk of DDoS attacks and malicious traffic, ensuring a more robust and reliable network.

Network Knowledge:

Before undertaking bogon filtering, understand its implications thoroughly. It's crucial that you know your network and the effects of such filtering.

List Dynamics:

The bogon lists, especially the full bogons list, change frequently. Ensure your filters are regularly updated to avoid inadvertently blocking legitimate traffic.

Peering Configuration:

Ensure you're capable of multihop peering with a private ASN. Misconfigured peering sessions, particularly those that route bogon packets to us, will be terminated to maintain our service quality.

Capacity:

Be prepared to accommodate up to 100 prefixes for traditional bogons and up to 250,000 prefixes for fullbogons.

Updates and Maintenance:

Aggressive ingress and egress filtering requires consistent maintenance. We offer various formats and methods for receiving updates, ensuring you have the latest data at hand.

Data Sources:

Our data is based on relevant RFCs, IANA IPV4 allocation list (IPv4 summary page) and RIR data
