Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   When using the RPKI, address space holders need to issue ROA
   object(s) to authorize one or more ASes to originate routes to IP
   prefix(es).  This memo discusses operational problems which may arise
   from ROAs containing multiple IP prefixes and recommends that each
   ROA contain a single IP prefix.

Working Group Summary

  There was consensus in the SIDROPS WG to progress this document.
  After WGLC there were some additional changes made to further improve the document, including discussing scaling and tightening the recommendation text. The chairs confirmed that the changes were editorial, and still had WG consensus. 


Document Quality

   ROAs that follow the recommendation in this memo have been tested
   with several tools; no errors or concerns were found. This is unsurprising, as ROAs that follow the recommendation are the standard / base case (basically the document is recommending that people avoid a less common feature without good reason).

Personnel

   Russ Housley is DS
   Warren Kumari is RAD!
