Technical Summary
In order to verifiably validate the origin Autonomous Systems and
Autonomous System Paths of BGP announcements, routers need a simple
but reliable mechanism to receive Resource Public Key Infrastructure
(RFC 6480) prefix origin data and router keys from a trusted cache.
This document describes a protocol to deliver them.
This document describes version 1 of the rpki-rtr protocol. RFC 6810
describes version 0.
Working Group Summary
This document adds support for a new PDU to carry router key information,
new timing values, and a version negotiation. As it is an update to a protocol
currently in use, the working group discussion was focused on the additional
features.
Document Quality
There are three different implementations of the server side
of this protocol. Three router vendors have implemented the
client side. Four other implementations of the client side
are also known.
