[routing-wg] RPKI Route Origin Validation - Africa

Thanks, Job.
So we hit the below issue in the first week:
https://lists.uknof.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/private/uknof/2019-April/006470.html
Also in the first week, 2 customers reported an issue accessing some IP
addresses in Europe and the U.S. These turned out to be broken ROA's
which took a while to fix. Finding the right person in the remote
networks (one being a cloud provider) was a bit of a mission. But
eventually, it got fixed. Recently, AMS-IX sent out 2 notifications for
Invalid ROA's of some of our customers. It was also an incorrect ROA
setup, which was fixed in 2 days, each. We are now rolling out ROV to
our downstream BGP customers. I don't expect any issues as: - Most of
our customers will have a NotFound state. - We will manually check each
customer's setup before we turn on ROV for them. We should be done
within 3 months or so. Mark.

routing security, on the 1st April, 2019. />/On the 1st of April,
Workonline Communications (AS37271) enabled ROV and began dropping
Invalid routes. This applies to all eBGP sessions, both IPv4 and IPv6.

Invalid routes. This applies to eBGP sessions with public peers, private
peers and transit providers, both for IPv4 and IPv6. eBGP sessions
toward downstream customers will follow in 3 months time.
/>/Implementation at the third ISP has yet to be completed. We are sure
they will communicate with the community when they are ready to do so.
/>/Please note that for the legal reasons previously discussed in
various fora, neither Workonline nor SEACOM are utilising the ARIN TAL.
As a result, any routes covered only by a ROA issued under the ARIN TAL
will fall back to a status of Not Found. Unfortunately, this means that
ARIN members will not see any improved routing security for their
prefixes on our networks until this is resolved. />/We will each
re-evaluate this decision if and when ARIN's policy changes. We are
hopeful that this will happen sooner rather than later. />/If you
interconnect with either of us and believe that you are experiencing any
routing issues potentially related to this new policy, please feel free

/>/Workonline Communications and SEACOM hope that this move encourages
the rest of the ISP community around the world to ramp up their
deployment of RPKI ROV and begin dropping Invalid routes. We appreciate
the work that AT&T and others have carried out in the same vein. />/In
the mean time, we are happy to answer any questions you may have about
our deployments. />/Thanks, />/Mark Tinka (SEACOM) & Ben Maddison
