DOI: 10.17487/RFC8481
Deployment of BGP origin validation based on Resource Public Key
Infrastructure (RPKI) is hampered by, among other things, vendor
misimplementations 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 misimplementations; it thus updates RFC 6811 by clarifying that
all prefixes should have their validation state set and that policy
must not be applied without operator configuration.
This document is a product of the SIDR Operations Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
