Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document provides guidance to avoid carrying Resource Public Key
   Infrastructure (RPKI) derived validation states in transitive Border
   Gateway Protocol (BGP) Path Attributes.  Annotating routes with
   transitive attributes signaling validation states may cause needless
   flooding of BGP UPDATE messages through the global Internet routing
   system, for example when Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) are
   issued, or are revoked, or when RPKI-To-Router sessions are
   terminated.

   Operators should ensure RPKI-derived validation states are not
   signaled in transitive BGP Path Attributes.  Specifically, Operators
   should not associate Prefix Origin Validation state with BGP routes
   using transitive BGP Communities.
