I support the adoption of "draft-sriram-opsec-urpf-improvements" as an
OPSEC Working Group document.

This is based on my review of the draft and the IETF 101 presentation.

Let me mention that I think the WG should also consider potential use of
RPKI as a complementary mechanism to improve uRPF. Namely, if there is an
ROA for the prefix-origin pair, it should be allowed (even if the
(enhanced/preferred)uRPF check fails. In a future (fantasy?) where RPKI is
widely deployed, this solution may have even been better. I'm aware that
this is, unfortuately, far cry from current situation, hence I definitely
support moving forward with this draft. My comment can be discussed as part
of this or separately (or not at all).

thanks, Amir
