For the Blackhole community can we just describe its purpose/usage and just show the *:666 or *:999 as examples? I think the purpose and function matter a lot more than what arbitrary number is used.

    Hi,

    I think idea behind BCOP in comparison with BCP is that we
    populate here the best practices which are "really used by
    operators". kind of real life examples.
    This is how I understood idea of BCOP introduced at first by Jan Zorz.

    Thus, I think we should not start including all the possible
    variations which are good for all the possible types of BGP speakers.
    2. BGP Session Security - a mention of conformance with rfc5082 was
    also presented, and it I think it makes sense to add, does everyone
    agree?  2a. Along those lines is there agreement that the document
    should have a section covering basic BGP security considerations?
    Does anybody use or offer 5082 today, in practise?

    I support Job Snijders' question - because if no Operator use this
    feature, it should not be included. I've never seen this used
    rather then in CCIE LAB.



    Most prevalent blackhole community is ASN:666, so i'd drop the :999
    reference.

    Job: Some people are not happy with number 666 and many operators
    use 999 in real life. Both 666 and 999 are widely used among
    operators, so we can of course write that 666 is more widely used
    then 999 but I'm not sure that we can insist on using 666 only.

    3. Prefix Length Integrity - The idea of identifying a maximum prefix
    lengths for both customers and ISPs to accept as well as a potential
    for a better defined interpretation of Strict\Loose prefix handling.
    ie. Loose = the /24(ipv4) and /48(ipv6). Strict = using the RIR
    minimal allocation as the limit.
    I can only speak for myself: if a customer registers up to a /30 as
    route object, I'd accept the prefix. If the customer registers a /24 or
    smaller, I'd accept up to a /24. Anything larger then a /24 I would not
    propagate to peers or other customers.
    Here I think, we should insist that every operator MUST at least
    accept everything (of course properly registered) up to /24 and
    /48. Preventing all ideas of accepting up to /23 or shorter.

    I can incorporate them into the draft stuff I worked on.

    Not for this draft, but for the next one, I’ll put together a
    reference section from all the older “BGP BCP” materials. This
    will go back to the ISP Workshop materials and work forward. I’ll
    include all the NANOG tutorial/session pointers.

    One other point, what about
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-opsec-bgp-security-07???

    I think we should try some sort of alignment. If our goal is
    “behavior change,” then we should ensure the two documents
    provide the same guidance. Duplication is A-OK. We just reference
    each other.
