BGP Prefix Origin Validation State Extended Community
Abstract
This document defines a new BGP opaque extended community to carry
the origination Autonomous System (AS) validation state inside an
autonomous system. Internal BGP (IBGP) speakers that receive this
validation state can configure local policies that allow it to
influence their decision process.

RFC 8097 Prefix Origin Validation State Ext. Comm. March 2017
1. Introduction
This document defines a new BGP opaque extended community to carry
the origination AS validation state inside an autonomous system.
IBGP speakers that receive this validation state can configure local
policies that allow it to influence their decision process.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Origin Validation State Extended Community
The origin validation state extended community is an opaque extended
community [RFC4360] with the following encoding:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

The value of the high-order octet of the extended Type field is 0x43,
which indicates it is non-transitive. The value of the low-order
octet of the extended Type field as assigned by IANA is 0x00. The
