The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BGP RPKI-Based Origin Validation Clarifications' (draft-ietf-sidrops-ov-clarify-04.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the SIDR Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Ignas Bagdonas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidrops-ov-clarify/ Technical Summary 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" Working Group Summary From the Document Shepherd report: 'WG discussion was solid, fun and filled with non-tears.' :-) Document Quality The document is very clear and easy to understand, even for those unfamiliar with the technology. It simply clarifies things. Personnel Chris Morrow is the DS Warren Kumari is RAD!
