Hello.

I work for an ISP. I have historically been present at at least one presentation by Randy Bush regarding BGP advertisment verification (which I found to be very informative). I thought I'd read up on what the current state of affairs are, so I started looking through the archives of this WG, plus looking through the past few operator meeting agendas (NANOG55-56), (RIPE64-65).

I found "ROVER: BGP Route Origin Verification using Reverse-DNS" at NANOG55, "RPKI Propagation" by R. Bush at RIPE65.

Are there others I should read?

Reading the RIPE65 it worries me that this information seems to be created by the RIRs. I have some insight in what it takes in the operations/administration of gtld and cctld registrar/registry plus global anycasted root name server infrastructure. I feel what we're talking about here is the same thing, or even more important. If secure BGP verification doesn't work, nothing will work. Root name and (cc|g)tld servers get all the attention, but root name servers can be offline for a long duration of time without seriously affecting the Internet as a whole. The RPKI infrastructure needs to be done with same reisiliancy or better it seems.

So trusting SIDR-WG and others to do the protocol standardisation, what needs to be done on the operational side to get this running at a level of quality needed to be 99.999% available and correct, both from the RIR side and documents telling ISPs what they need to do internally to make this work properly?
