It associates BGP route announcements with the correct +originating :abbr:`ASN (Autonomus System Number)` which BGP routers can then +use to check each route against the corresponding :abbr:`ROA (Route Origin +Authorisation)` for validity. RPKI is described in :rfc:`6480`. + +A BGP-speaking router like VyOS can retrieve ROA information from RPKI +"Relying Party software" (often just called an "RPKI server" or "RPKI +validator") by using :abbr:`RTR (RPKI to Router)` protocol. There are several +open source implementations to choose from, such as NLNetLabs' Routinator_ +(written in Rust), Cloudflare's GoRTR_ and OctoRPKI_ (written in Go), and +RIPE NCC's RPKI Validator_ (written in Java). The RTR protocol is described +in :rfc:`8210`. + +.. tip:: + If you are new to these routing security technologies then there is an + `excellent guide to RPKI`_ by NLnet Labs which will get you up to speed + very quickly. Their documentation explains everything from what RPKI is to + deploying it in production (albeit with a focus on using NLnet Labs' + tools). It also has some `help and operational guidance`_ including + "What can I do about my route having an Invalid state?" + +First you will need to deploy an RPKI validator for your routers to use. The +RIPE NCC helpfully provide `some instructions`_ to get you started with +several different options. Once your server is running you can start +validating announcements. + +Imported prefixes during the validation may have values: + + valid + The prefix and ASN that originated it match a signed ROA. These are + probably trustworthy route announcements. + + invalid + The prefix or prefix length and ASN that originated it doesn't + match any existing ROA. This could be the result of a prefix hijack, or + merely a misconfiguration, but should probably be treated as + untrustworthy route announcements. + + notfound + No ROA exists which covers that prefix. Unfortunately this is the case + for about 80% of the IPv4 prefixes which were announced to the :abbr:`DFZ + (default-free zone)` at the start of 2020 (see more detail in + NLnet Labs' `RPKI analytics`_). + +.. note:: + If you are responsible for the global addresses assigned to your + network, please make sure that your prefixes have ROAs associated with them + to avoid being `notfound` by RPKI. For most ASNs this will involve + publishing ROAs via your :abbr:`RIR (Regional Internet Registry)` (RIPE + NCC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC or AFRINIC), and is something you are encouraged + to do whenever you plan to announce addresses into the DFZ. + + Particularly large networks may wish to run their own RPKI certificate + authority and publication server instead of publishing ROAs via their RIR. + This is a subject far beyond the scope of VyOS' documentation. Consider + reading about Krill_ if this is a rabbit hole you need or especially want + to dive down. + +We can build route-maps for import based on these states.
