The IESG has received a request from the SIDR Operations WG (sidrops) to consider the following document: - 'Origin Validation Clarifications' <draft-ietf-sidrops-ov-clarify-03.txt> as Internet Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-08-08. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Deployment of RPKI-based BGP origin validation is hampered by, among other things, vendor mis-implementations in two critical areas: which routes are validated and whether policy is applied when not specified by configuration. This document is meant to clarify possible misunderstandings causing those mis-implementations; and thus updates RFC6811 by clarifying that all prefixes should be marked, and that policy must not be applied without operator configuration" The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidrops-ov-clarify/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidrops-ov-clarify/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
