Description
RPKI is more and more widespread, and as more networks create their ROAs, the global routing becomes more and more secure. There is, however, an aspect of having more widespread use of RPKI, that has not yet been considered. Some networks have decided to perform Route Origin Validation (ROV) and then put the resulting information in BGP communities.
This action, while done with the best intentions, helps pollute the globalr routing system with more updates than necessary, and is increasing the amount of BGP updates propagated over the Internet.
In this talk I will present the issue, describe the implications, and show the measurements and the results that lead to the work being carried on about creating a draft BCP at the IETF for networks suggesting to avoid using communities to carry RPKI information.
