       BGP Prefix Origin Validation State Extended Community

Abstract

 This document defines a new BGP opaque extended community to carry
 the origination Autonomous System (AS) validation state inside an
 autonomous system.  Internal BGP (IBGP) speakers that receive this
 validation state can configure local policies that allow it to
 influence their decision process.

Mohapatra, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 8097 Prefix Origin Validation State Ext. Comm. March 2017

1. Introduction

 This document defines a new BGP opaque extended community to carry
 the origination AS validation state inside an autonomous system.
 IBGP speakers that receive this validation state can configure local
 policies that allow it to influence their decision process.

1.1. Requirements Language

 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2. Origin Validation State Extended Community

 The origin validation state extended community is an opaque extended
 community [RFC4360] with the following encoding:
      0                   1                   2                   3
      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     |       0x43    |      0x00     |             Reserved          |
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     |                    Reserved                   |validationstate|
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 The value of the high-order octet of the extended Type field is 0x43,
 which indicates it is non-transitive.  The value of the low-order
 octet of the extended Type field as assigned by IANA is 0x00.  The
 Reserved field MUST be set to 0 and ignored upon the receipt of this
 community.  The last octet of the extended community is an unsigned
 integer that gives the route's validation state [RFC6811].  It can
 assume the following values:
                   +-------+-----------------------------+
                   | Value | Meaning                     |
                   +-------+-----------------------------+
                   |   0   | Lookup result = "valid"     |
                   |   1   | Lookup result = "not found" |
                   |   2   | Lookup result = "invalid"   |
                   +-------+-----------------------------+
 If the router is configured to support the extensions defined in this
 document, it SHOULD attach the origin validation state extended
 community to BGP UPDATE messages sent to IBGP peers by mapping the
 computed validation state in the last octet of the extended

Mohapatra, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 8097 Prefix Origin Validation State Ext. Comm. March 2017

 community.  Similarly, a receiving BGP speaker, in the absence of
 validation state set based on local data, SHOULD derive a validation
 state from the last octet of the extended community, if present.
 An implementation SHOULD NOT send more than one instance of the
 origin validation state extended community.  However, if more than
 one instance is received, an implementation MUST disregard all
 instances other than the one with the numerically greatest validation
 state value.  If the value received is greater than the largest
 specified value (2), the implementation MUST apply a strategy similar
 to attribute discard [RFC7606] by discarding the erroneous community
 and logging the error for further analysis.
 By default, implementations MUST drop the origin validation state
 extended community if received from an External BGP (EBGP) peer,
 without processing it further.  Similarly, by default, an
 implementation SHOULD NOT send the community to EBGP peers.  However,
 it SHOULD be possible to configure an implementation to send or
 accept the community when warranted.  An example of a case where the
 community would reasonably be received from, or sent to, an EBGP peer
 is when two adjacent ASes are under control of the same
 administration.  A second example is documented in [SIDR-RPKI].

3. Deployment Considerations

 In deployment scenarios in which not all the speakers in an
 autonomous system are upgraded to support the extensions defined in
 this document, it is necessary to define policies that match on the
 origin validation extended community and set another BGP attribute
 [RFC6811] that influences selection of the best path in the same way
 that an implementation of this extension would.

4. IANA Considerations

 IANA has registered the value 0x00, with the name "BGP Origin
 Validation State Extended Community", in the "Non-Transitive Opaque
 Extended Community Sub-Types" registry.

5. Security Considerations

 Security considerations such as those described in [RFC4272] continue
 to apply.  Because this document introduces an extended community
 that will generally be used to affect route selection, the analysis
 in Section 4.5 ("Falsification") of [RFC4593] is relevant.  These
 issues are neither new nor unique to the origin validation extended
 community.

Mohapatra, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 8097 Prefix Origin Validation State Ext. Comm. March 2017

 The security considerations provided in [RFC6811] apply equally to
 this application of origin validation.  In addition, this document
 describes a scheme where router A outsources validation to some
 router B.  If this scheme is used, the participating routers should
 have the appropriate trust relationship -- B should trust A either
 because they are under the same administrative control or for some
 other reason (for example, consider [SIDR-RPKI]).  The security
 properties of the TCP connection between the two routers should also
 be considered.  See Section 5.1 of [RFC7454] for advice regarding
 protection of the TCP connection.
