prop-132: RPKI ROAs for unallocated and unassigned APNIC address space (was: AS0 for Bogons)

Proposal text prop-132-v003
Objective

Address space managed by APNIC which has is either “Unallocated” or “Unassigned” is considered “Bogon address space”. Bogons are defined in RFC3871, A “Bogon” (plural: “bogons”) is a packet with an IP source address in an address block not yet allocated by IANA or the Regional Internet Registries (ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, AFRINIC and LACNIC) as well as all addresses reserved for private or special use by RFCs.

The purpose of creating RPKI ROAs with Origin AS 0 for APNIC’s unallocated and unassigned address space is to restrict the propagation of BGP announcements covering such bogon space. When APNIC issues a ROA with AS 0 for unallocated address space under APNIC’s administration, BGP announcements covering this space will be marked as Invalid by networks doing RPKI based BGP Origin Validation using APNIC’s TAL.
