BGP - MD5 for prevent attacks

Yes.Please refere RFC 2385

Protection  of  BGP  Sessions  via  the  TCP  MD5  Signature  Option  –  defines  a  TCP extension  to  improve  BGP  security  by  specifying  an  option to include an MD5 signature in a TCP message.    This  procedure  provides  much  stronger  authentication  of  BGP  messages. 

Hi @zaheernew!

BGP uses TCP as the transport layer protocol. To improve BGP security, you can perform Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication when establishing a TCP connection. The MD5 authentication of BGP sets only the MD5 authentication password for the TCP connection. The authentication is performed by the TCP. If the authentication fails, no TCP connection is established.

BGP MD5 authentication is designed to prevent TCP attacks. The MD5 algorithm uses the MD5 password and the TCP+BGP packet as the input. The calculated result A is stored in the TCP packet. The peer TCP parses A to check whether the TCP packet is forged. If a forged TCP packet is detected, the peer TCP discards the packet to ensure stable TCP connections.
