Re: [sidr] revision to draft-ietf-sidr-roa-validation

WG Chair hat off

I posted the note below to the SIDR WG on the 27th May, and there was  
just two followups from the WG, one in favour of the proposed revision  
and one opposed, which really was not enough of a response to figure  
out what represented some approximation of a general view of WG members.

It is my impression from the WG discussion at IETF 75 on the  
interpretation of a ROA that there is a common view that a ROA acts as  
an implicit "denial" for those route objects that have address  
prefixes that are more specific than the set of prefixes specified in  
the ROA, and for those route objects which have originating AS numbers  
other than those listed in valid ROAs that span the address prefix  
listed in the route object.

I therefore propose to the WG that I will resubmit draft-huston-sidr- 
roa-validation-01.txt as draft-ietf-sidr-roa-validation-02.txt on the  
basis that this appears to be consistent with the discussion I have  
just heard in the WG meeting this morning.

thanks,.
