Hello,

The RIPE NCC RPKI Validator historically offered a very complete toolset. One 
feature that has proven to be a useful troubleshooting tool was the “BGP 
Preview” [1], letting you compare validated ROA payloads against announcements 
seen by the RIS route collectors.

With the RIPE NCC Validator discontinued, over the last couple of months we’ve 
been working on replicating this functionality and attempted to improve upon it 
in several ways. 

A preview is now available here:

https://routinator.nlnetlabs.nl/

Example:

https://routinator.nlnetlabs.nl/69.252.0.0%2F12?validate-bgp=true

In addition to validating an IP prefix/ASN combination, you can:

- automatically lookup the validation ASN in BGP announcements for a specific 
prefix.
- see prefixes that are allocated to the same organisation by an RIR and their 
RPKI validation status based on BGP announcements or a user supplied ASN.

This functionality is backed by an external, public API that hosts the 
allocations and BGP origin ASes: 

https://roto-api.nlnetlabs.net/v1/

Example:

https://roto-api.nlnetlabs.net/v1/prefix/69.252.0.0/12/search

The open source repositories involved are:

https://github.com/NLnetLabs/roto-api (the API service)
https://github.com/NLnetLabs/rotonda-store (the in-memory prefix-based database)

We will be working towards stabilising the API and the UI in the coming months. 
We look forward to your feedback, which we’re collecting here:

Cheers,

Alex
