Abstract
Deployment of BGP origin validation based on Resource Public KeyInfrastructure (RPKI) is hampered by, among other things, vendormisimplementations in two critical areas: which routes are validatedand whether policy is applied when not specified by configuration.This document is meant to clarify possible misunderstandings causingthose misimplementations; it thus updates RFC 6811 by clarifying thatall prefixes should have their validation state set and that policymust not be applied without operator configuration.
