Re: Howto for BGP black holing/null routing

I can't give you a step-by-step with configuration examples off the top
of my head, but, hopefully this helps:

1.      Create a static anchor route to a magic "next-hop" value
        such as 192.168.99.99 or whatever you choose.


2.      Configure all your routers to route 192.168.99.99 to null.

3.      Advertise that into your iBGP mesh from the blackhole anchor
        router.

I was wondering if anyone has a howto floating around on the
step by step setup of having an internal bgp peer for sending
quick updates to border routers to null route sources of
undesirable traffic?  I've seen it discussed on nanog from
time to time, typically suggesting using Zebra, but could
not search up a link on a step by step.

Thanks,
