Origin validation says who may originate a prefix and nothing about the
rest of the path: it does not catch a route leak, nor a hijack that keeps
the right origin at the end of a made-up path. ASPAs, in which a network
lists its providers, do.
bgp-rpki:
- aspa: the ASPAs and the upstream and downstream verification procedures
of draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-24, tested against the draft's
wording as written.
- rtr: protocol version 2 (draft-ietf-sidrops-8210bis-23) with the ASPA
PDU and the new error codes.
- client: asks for version 2 and falls back to whatever older version the
cache speaks; keeps ASPAs with the VRPs, applied whole or not at all;
publishes which customers' ASPAs changed; tells the cache why it is
being left (Error Report); does not ask one version's serial of another.
Server:
- A peer has a role (provider, customer, peer, route server, route server
client), which decides how its paths are verified. Without one they are
not.
- A route whose path is invalid is refused ("ASPA invalid") and held, like
one with an invalid origin; accept_aspa_invalid exempts a peer.
- When ASPAs change, routes in the table whose path has a changed customer
on it are verified again, and held routes are released when they pass
both checks.
- The revalidator finds a route's peer by index instead of searching a
list for every route.
The status page and API show each peer's role, each route's path validity,
the number of ASPAs and the RTR version in use; bgp_rpki_aspas is on
/metricz.
