Resource Public Key Infrastructure Origin Validation for BGP Export

Overview

RFC 8893, “Resource Public Key Infrastructure Origin Validation for BGP Export”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2020 by R. Bush, R. Volk, J. Heitz. It updates RFC 6811. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

A BGP speaker may perform Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) origin validation not only on routes received from BGP neighbors and routes that are redistributed from other routing protocols, but also on routes it sends to BGP neighbors. For egress policy, it is important that the classification use the 'effective origin AS' of the processed route, which may specifically be altered by the commonly available knobs, such as removing private ASes, confederation handling, and other modifications of the origin AS. This document updates RFC 6811.
