Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Router Implementation Report
Abstract
This document is an implementation report for the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Router protocol as defined in RFC 6810. The authors did not verify the accuracy of the information provided by respondents. The respondents are experts with the implementations they reported on, and their responses are considered authoritative for the implementations for which their responses represent. The respondents were asked to only use the "YES" answer if the feature had at least been tested in the lab.

1. Introduction
In order to formally validate the origin Autonomous Systems (ASes) of BGP announcements, routers need a simple but reliable mechanism to receive Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) [RFC6810] prefix origin data from a trusted cache. The RPKI Router protocol defined in [RFC6810] provides a mechanism to deliver validated prefix origin data to routers.
This document provides an implementation report for the RPKI Router protocol as defined in RFC 6810 [RFC6810].
The authors did not verify the accuracy of the information provided by respondents or by any alternative means. The respondents are experts with the implementations they reported on, and their responses are considered authoritative for the implementations for which their responses represent. Respondents were asked to only use the "YES" answer if the feature had at least been tested in the lab.

Note 1: No, Error PDU gets silently ignored.
4. Protocol Sequence
Does the RPKI Router protocol implementation follow the four protocol sequences as outlined in Section 6 of [RFC6810]?
S1: Start or Restart
S2: Typical Exchange
S3: No Incremental Update Available
S4: Cache Has No Data Available
+----+-----+-----+-------+--------+---------+------+--------+-------+ | | IOS | XR | JUNOS | rpki | rpki | NCC | RTRlib | BBN | | | | | | .net | .net | | | | | | | | | clnt | srvr | | | | +----+-----+-----+-------+--------+---------+------+--------+-------+ | S1 | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | S2 | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | NO~1 | YES | YES | | S3 | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | S4 | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES~2 | +----+-----+-----+-------+--------+---------+------+--------+-------+
Note 1: Does not implement Serial Query, thus Incremental Update is never available, so responds to Serial Query with Cache Reset as described in Section 6.3 of [RFC6810]
Note 2: Sends Cache Reset in response to Serial Query when no data; sends Error Report PDU in response to Reset Query when no data.
5. Protocol Transport
Does the RPKI Router protocol implementation support the different protocol transport mechanisms outlined in Section 7 of [RFC6810]?
+---------+-----+-----+-------+-------+--------+-----+--------+-----+ | | IOS | XR | JUNOS | rpki | rpki | NCC | RTRlib | BBN | | | | | | .net | .net | | | | | | | | | clnt | srvr | | | | +---------+-----+-----+-------+-------+--------+-----+--------+-----+ | SSH | NO | YES | NO | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | | TLS | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | | TCP | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | TCP-MD5 | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | | TCP-AO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | | IPsec | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | +---------+-----+-----+-------+-------+--------+-----+--------+-----+
6. Error Codes
Does the RPKI Router protocol implementation support the different protocol error codes outlined in Section 10 of [RFC6810]?
+-------+-----+-----+-------+-------+--------+-------+--------+-----+ | | IOS | XR | JUNOS | rpki | rpki | NCC | RTRlib | BBN | | | | | | .net | .net | | | | | | | | | clnt | srvr | | | | +-------+-----+-----+-------+-------+--------+-------+--------+-----+ | Rcv.0 | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | Snd.0 | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | Rcv.1 | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | Snd.1 | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | Rcv.2 | YES | YES | NO | YES | --- | --- | YES | --- | | Snd.2 | --- | --- | --- | --- | YES | YES | --- | YES | | Rcv.3 | YES | YES | NO | YES | --- | --- | YES | --- | | Snd.3 | --- | --- | --- | --- | YES | YES | --- | YES | | Rcv.4 | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | Snd.4 | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | Rcv.5 | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | Snd.5 | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | | Rcv.6 | --- | --- | --- | --- | YES | YES~1 | --- | YES | | Snd.6 | YES | YES | NO | NO | --- | --- | YES | --- | | Rcv.7 | --- | --- | --- | --- | YES | YES~1 | --- | YES | | Snd.7 | YES | YES | NO | NO | --- | --- | YES | --- | +-------+-----+-----+-------+-------+--------+-------+--------+-----+
Note 1: YES, but... fatal, so connection is dropped, but cache does not conclude it's inconsistent.
7. Incremental Updates Support
Does the RPKI Router implementation support Incremental Updates as defined in Section 4 of [RFC6810]?
+-----+----+-------+-------------+-------------+-----+--------+-----+ | IOS | XR | JUNOS | rpki.net | rpki.net | NCC | RTRlib | BBN | | | | | clnt | srvr | | | | +-----+----+-------+-------------+-------------+-----+--------+-----+ | NO | NO | YES | YES | YES | NO | YES | YES | +-----+----+-------+-------------+-------------+-----+--------+-----+
8. Session ID Support
Session ID is used to indicate that the cache server may have restarted and that the incremental restart may not be possible.
Does the RPKI Router protocol implementation support the Session ID procedures outlined in Section 5.1 of [RFC6810]?
+-----+-----+-------+------------+------------+------+--------+-----+ | IOS | XR | JUNOS | rpki.net | rpki.net | NCC | RTRlib | BBN | | | | | clnt | srvr | | | | +-----+-----+-------+------------+------------+------+--------+-----+ | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | NO~1 | YES | YES | +-----+-----+-------+------------+------------+------+--------+-----+
Note 1: NO, using random, but will FIX
9. Incremental Session Startup Support
