Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) R. Bush Request for Comments: 7115 Internet Initiative Japan BCP: 185 January 2014 Category: Best Current Practice ISSN: 2070-1721 Origin Validation Operation Based on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Abstract Deployment of BGP origin validation that is based on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) has many operational considerations. This document attempts to collect and present those that are most critical. It is expected to evolve as RPKI-based origin validation continues to be deployed and the dynamics are better understood.

Introduction RPKI-based origin validation relies on widespread deployment of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) [RFC6480]. How the RPKI is distributed and maintained globally is a serious concern from many aspects. While the global RPKI is in the early stages of deployment, there is no single root trust anchor, initial testing is being done by the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), and there are technical testbeds. It is thought that origin validation based on the RPKI will continue to be deployed incrementally over the next few years. It is assumed that eventually there must be a single root trust anchor for the public address space, see [IAB]. Origin validation needs to be done only by an AS's border routers and is designed so that it can be used to protect announcements that are originated by any network participating in Internet BGP routing: large providers, upstream and downstream routers, and by edge networks (e.g., small stub or enterprise networks). Origin validation has been designed to be deployed on current routers without significant hardware upgrades. It should be used in border routers by operators from large backbones to small stub/enterprise/ edge networks. RPKI-based origin validation has been designed so that, with prudent local routing policies, there is little risk that what is seen as today's normal Internet routing is threatened by imprudent deployment of the global RPKI; see Section 5.

Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119] only when they appear in all upper case. They may also appear in lower or mixed case as English words, without normative meaning.Show full document text
