Problem Statement and Considerations for ROAs issued with Multiple
Prefixes
draft-yan-sidrops-roa-considerations-02
Abstract
The address space holder needs to issue an ROA object when it
authorizes one or more ASes to originate routes to multiple prefixes.
During the process of ROA issuance, the address space holder needs to
specify an origin AS for a list of IP prefixes. Besides, the address
space holder has a free choice to put multiple prefixes into a single
ROA or issue separate ROAs for each prefix based on the current
specification. This memo analyzes and presents some operational
problems which may be caused by the misconfigurations of ROAs
containing multiple IP prefixes. Some suggestions and considerations
also have been proposed.

1. Introduction
Route Origin Authorization (ROA) is a digitally signed object which
is used to identify that a single AS has been authorized by the
address space holder to originate routes to one or more prefixes
within the address space[RFC6482].If the address space holder needs
to authorize more than one ASes to advertise the same set of address
prefixes, the holder must issue multiple ROAs, one per AS number.
However, at present there are no mandatory requirements in any RFCs
describing that the address space holders must issue a separate ROA
for each prefix or a ROA for multiple prefixes.
Each ROA contains an "asID" field and an "ipAddrBlocks" field. The
"asID" field contains one single AS number which is authorized to
originate routes to the given IP address prefixes. The
