[rpd] RPKI ROAs for Unallocated and Unassigned AFRINIC Address Space AFPUB-2019-GEN-006-DRAFT02

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Elvis,

 

Having the AS0, is one way to show what prefixes belong to AFRINIC but not yet assigned/distributed to members. It is a clear part of the AFRINIC mission to show the accuracy of the database.

 

Can you explain if you use RPKI in the networks that you manage and how you do that?

 

Regards,

Jordi

Dear all, 

 

The AFRINIC as an organization specifically focuses on the registration database and thereby having knowledge of where the prefix belongs to and AFRINIC should just focus on this role and should not engage in authenticating or the authorization of various services. If such rights are given to any organization, they have the right to assign prefixes to servers hence, having control of the routing database at which a technical or human error will lead to an immense catastrophe to the internet society. This control is basically the specific definition of centralization. This centralization is the major reason why most providers do not trust the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). I am still in opposition to this policy proposal.

Cmon folks….!

 

@Elvis, I really don’t see your point here and also don’t really understand why are you opposing against this proposal.

 

As mentioned further on the thread - RPKI won’t change Afrnic´s role at all…. Instead this proposal will certainly contribute to a more secure routing advertisement.

 

As such, other RIR´s have successfully implemented this in order to protect our garden so called “The Internet”.

I think there is a serious issue by some people totally misunderstanding what RPKI actually is.

Some arguments saying something like 'Afrinic will centralize control of the internet and should not have such power' don't have relation to what what this proposal intends and the reasons to oppose it are not tied to real possible problems pointed.

This proposal only follows what have been done in APNIC and LACNIC and is a natural move to make an internet more secure and avoid organizations to use space that is not assigned to anyone else.
Therefore I support this proposal.

I am strongly in opposition to this RPKI ROA proposal,

 

You oppose yet....

 

 issuing an AS0 for AFRINIC address space 

 

You must be clear on which AFRINIC address space rather than presenting a rather vague statement. 

 

The proposal is very clear and explicit and the AFRINIC space in question is that which has not yet been allocated or assigned to any entity or resource member.

 

I will quote for you section 2.0 of the proposal as written below;

 

2.0 Summary of how this proposal addresses the problem


This proposal instructs AFRINIC to create ROAs for all unallocated and unassigned address space under its control. This will enable networks performing RPKI-based BGP Origin Validation to easily reject all the bogon announcements covering resources managed by AFRINIC.

 

So what are you talking about?

 

Noah
