Hi,

A couple comments.


http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sidr-origin-validation-signaling-03
refers to "[I-D.ietf-sidr-pfx-validate]", but that has been published
as rfc6811.

The paragraph in Section 2 where that reference occurs says:

===============

   Note that routers do not perform prefix origin validation (compute
   the validation state as defined in [I-D.ietf-sidr-pfx-validate])
   for IBGP learnt routes.

===============

... but rfc6811 does not prohibit performing prefix origin validation
for IBGP learnt routes.  In a network where all edge routers are
capable and configured to perform prefix origin validation on EBGP
learnt routes it should not be necessary to perform that function also
on IBGP learnt routes, but in general doing so should not be
prohibited.  The current statement in
draft-ietf-sidr-origin-validation-signaling-03 is too strongly
worded. 

Thanks.
