RFC 8481: Clarifications to BGP Origin Validation Based on Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 9324. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

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.
