Item 1: May BOAs be issued only by RIRs or also by entities further down
the heirarchy? From section 1:
"This document defines an application of the Resource Public Key
Infrastructure (RPKI) to validate the attestations of INTERNET
REGISTERIES that certain addresses are currently neither allocated
nor assigned to any party,..." (emphasis added)
Internet Registry > Regional Internet Registry. It includes National Internet
Registry and Local Internet Registry. The architecture document uses the
term: "internet registry or LIR/ISP".
The use of the terms NIR and LIR are more common in some regions than in
others. Those areas where NIR and LIR are seldom used hear "RIR" when
"registry" is mentioned. The architecture draft goes through all the
possibilities, but does not introduce the "Internet Registry" as the
generic term. Given the potential confusion on the part of some, it might
be best to inject a parenthetical "(RIR, NIR, LIR/ISP)" in any doc that
uses the generic term.
But the question still stands, I think. Some entities that receive
addresses are not RIR/NIR/LIR. Or so I believe. Is an enterprise that
receives address space considered a registry, even if it does not
sub-allocate?
Hm. What about cell phones that are being handed huge blocks of IPv6
addresses? Don't know that anyone is thinking of running BGP from their
cell phone, so maybe the question is moot.
