RPKI AS0 services

Description

Due to an error during infrastructure maintenance, APNIC’s RPKI AS0 rsync and
RRDP repositories were intermittently publishing older, expired copies of the
relevant RPKI objects. This could have led to some RPKI relying parties (RPs)
ignoring the relevant objects, such that those RPs would not have taken the AS0
ROA into account for the purpose of validating routes in BGP.

The issue was not rectified immediately due partly to conflicting monitoring
data and partly to assumptions about there being problems with the monitoring,
based on the content of the received alerts.

New processes and monitoring improvements to mitigate the risk of similar issues
coming up in the future have been implemented. APNIC apologises for any
inconvenience this have caused.

We apologize for the loss of facilities and any inconvenience caused. Should you require assistance in dealing with any problems arising from this outage, please contact the APNIC Helpdesk.
