The IESG has received a request from the Secure Inter-Domain Routing WG (sidr) to consider the following document: - 'BGP Prefix Origin Validation' <draft-ietf-sidr-pfx-validate-09.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-10-01. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract To help reduce well-known threats against BGP including prefix mis- announcing and monkey-in-the-middle attacks, one of the security requirements is the ability to validate the origination AS of BGP routes. More specifically, one needs to validate that the AS number claiming to originate an address prefix (as derived from the AS_PATH attribute of the BGP route) is in fact authorized by the prefix holder to do so. This document describes a simple validation mechanism to partially satisfy this requirement. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-pfx-validate/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-pfx-validate/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1569/
