Dear NANOG, when I approached ARIN about how they feel about reaching out to their members about prefixes that are unreachable in a route origin validation (ROV) environment, John Curran (CEO ARIN) referred me to you (see email bellow - quoted with permission).
The question I asked ARIN was specifically: > Would you be open to reach out to your affected members to inform them about > their affected IP prefixes? John Curran (CEO ARIN) wrote: > If there is evidence of community > Interest, then ARIN can conduct a community consultation to determine > our best role in this area, but you first should encourage discussion > within the network operator community at appropriate forums. So here is my question to the network operator community in the ARIN region to gather if there are any (dis)agreements/opinions about such a notification by ARIN: What do you think about the idea that ARIN actively informs their affected members about prefixes that are unreachable in an RPKI ROV environment? The goal of that outreach/notification would be - to reduce the number of broken legacy ROAs from the past - reduce the negative impact on reachability of affected members. looking forward to receiving your feedback! kind regards, nusenu [1] https://medium.com/@nusenu/towards-cleaning-up-rpki-invalids-d69b03ab8a8c John Curran wrote: > Subject: Reaching out to ARIN members about their RPKI INVALID prefixes > > Nusenu - > > Thank you for writing us - the project (and Medium post on same) are > quite interesting. > > I think you’ve got several options for pursuing your objectives, > including – > > 1) Reaching out to parties that already track and report on Internet > routing hygiene (e.g. Geoff Huston at http://bgp.potaroo.net, the > RPKI validator team at RIPE, the NIST RPKI Deployment monitor - > https://rpki-monitor.antd.nist.gov) to see if of them would like to > report on this information and/or contact those with invalids) > > 2) Raising the issue in the ARIN region via the NANOG operator forum > - this would make an excellent lightening talk for you (or someone > else familiar with it already attending) to speak about at the > upcoming NANOG Vancouver meeting.
