1. Introduction
"An Infrastructure to Support Secure Internet Routing" [RFC6480]
directs IANA [RFC2860] to issue Resource Public Key Infrastructure
(RPKI) objects for which it is authoritative. This document
describes the objects IANA will issue. If IANA is directed to issue
additional RPKI objects in future, this document will be revised and
a new version issued.
The signed objects described here that IANA will issue are the
unallocated, reserved, special use IPv4 and IPv6 address blocks, and
the unallocated and reserved Autonomous System numbers. These number
resources are managed by IANA for the IETF; thus, IANA bears the
responsibility of issuing the corresponding RPKI objects. The reader
is encouraged to consider the technical effects on the public routing
system of the signed object issuance proposed for IANA in this
document.
This document does not deal with BGP [RFC4271] routing systems, as
those are under the policy controls of the organizations that operate
them. Readers are directed to "Local Trust Anchor Management for the
Resource Public Key Infrastructure" [TA-MGMT] for a description of
how to locally override IANA issued objects, e.g., to enable use of
unallocated, reserved, and special use IPv4 and IPv6 address blocks
in a local context.
Manderson, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 6491 IANA RPKI Objects February 2012
The direction to IANA contained herein follows the ideal that it
should represent the ideal technical behavior for registry and
related registry actions.
2. Requirements Notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
3. Required Reading
Readers should be familiar with the RPKI, the RPKI repository
structure, and the various RPKI objects, uses, and interpretations
described in the following: [RFC6480], [RFC6487], [RFC6482],
[RFC6493], [TA-MGMT], [RFC6483], [RPKI-USE], [RFC6484], and
[RFC6486].
Note: The addresses used in this document are not example addresses;
therefore, they are not compliant with [RFC3849], [RFC5735], and
[RFC5771]. This is intentional, as the practices described in this
document are directed to specific instances of real world addresses.
4. Definitions
Internet Number Resources (INR): The number identifiers for IPv4
[RFC0791] and IPv6 [RFC2460] addresses, and for Autonomous Systems
(ASes).
IANA: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (a traditional name, used
here to refer to the technical team making and publishing the
assignments of Internet protocol technical parameters). The
technical team of IANA is currently a part of ICANN [RFC2860].
RPKI: Resource Public Key Infrastructure. A Public Key
Infrastructure designed to provide a secure basis for assertions
about holdings of Internet number resources. Certificates issued
under the RPKI contain additional attributes that identify IPv4,
IPv6, and Autonomous System number resources [RFC6480].
ROA: Route Origination Authorization. A ROA is an RPKI object that
enables the holder of the address prefix to specify an AS that is
permitted to originate (in BGP) routes for that prefix [RFC6482].
AS 0 ROA: A ROA containing a value of 0 in the ASID field.
"Validation of Route Origination Using the Resource Certificate
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Route Origination Authorizations
(ROAs)" [RFC6483] states "A ROA with a subject of AS 0 (AS 0 ROA) is
Manderson, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 6491 IANA RPKI Objects February 2012
an attestation by the holder of a prefix that the prefix described in
the ROA, and any more specific prefix, should not be used in a
routing context."
"Not intended to be (publicly) routed": This phrase refers to
prefixes that are not meant to be represented in the global Internet
routing table (for example 192.168/16 [RFC1918]).
5. Reserved Resources
Reserved IPv4 and IPv6 resources are held back for various reasons by
IETF action. Generally, such resources are not intended to be
globally routed. An example of such a reservation is 127.0.0.0/8
[RFC5735]. See Appendixes A and B for IANA reserved resources.
IANA SHOULD issue an AS 0 ROA for all reserved IPv4 and IPv6
resources not intended to be routed. The selection of the [RFC2119]
terminology is intentional as there may be situations where the AS 0
ROA is removed or not issued prior to an IANA registry action. It is
not appropriate to place IANA into a situation where, through normal
internal operations, its behavior contradicts IETF standards.
There are a small number of reserved resources that are intended to
be routed, for example 192.88.99.0/24 [RFC3068]. See Appendixes A
and B for IANA reserved resources.
IANA MUST NOT issue any ROAs (AS 0 or otherwise) for reserved
resources that are expected to be globally routed.
6. Unallocated Resources
Internet Number Resources that have not yet been allocated for
special purposes [RFC5736], to Regional Internet Registries (RIRs),
or to others are considered as not intended to be globally routed.
IANA SHOULD issue an AS 0 ROA for all Unallocated Resources. The
selection of the [RFC2119] terminology is intentional as there may be
situations where the AS 0 ROA is removed or not issued prior to an
IANA registry action. It is not appropriate to place IANA into a
situation where, through normal internal operations, its behavior
contradicts IETF standards.
7. Special Purpose Registry Resources
Special Registry Resources [RFC5736] fall into one of two categories
in terms of routing. Either the resource is intended to be seen in
the global Internet routing table in some fashion, or it isn't. An
example of a Special Registry Resources INR that is intended for
Manderson, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 6491 IANA RPKI Objects February 2012
global routing is 2001::/32 [RFC4380]. An example of an INR not
intended to be seen would be 2001:002::/48 [RFC5180].
IANA MUST NOT issue any ROAs (AS 0 or otherwise) for Special Purpose
Registry Resources that are intended to be globally routed.
IANA SHOULD issue an AS 0 ROA for Special Purpose Registry Resources
that are not intended to be globally routed.
8. Multicast
Within the IPv4 multicast [RFC5771] and IPv6 multicast [RFC4291]
registries there are a number of Multicast registrations that are not
intended to be globally routed.
IANA MUST issue an AS 0 ROA covering the following IPv4 and IPv6
multicast INRs:
IPv4:
- Local Network Control Block
224.0.0.0 - 224.0.0.255 (224.0.0/24)
- IANA Reserved portions of RESERVED
224.1.0.0-224.1.255.255 (224.1/16)
- RESERVED
224.5.0.0-224.251.255.255 (251 /16s)
225.0.0.0-231.255.255.255 (7 /8s)
IPv6:
- Node-Local Scope Multicast Addresses
- Link-Local Scope Multicast Addresses
IANA MUST NOT issue any ROAs (AS 0 or otherwise) for any other
multicast addresses unless directed by an IESG-approved Standards
Track document with an appropriate IANA Considerations section.
9. Informational Objects
One informational object that can exist at a publication point of an
RPKI repository is the Ghostbusters Record [RFC6493].
IANA MUST issue a ghostbusters object appropriate in content for the
resources IANA maintains.
10. Certificates and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs)
Before IANA can issue a ROA, it MUST first establish an RPKI
Certification Authority (CA) that covers unallocated, reserved, and
special use INRs. A CA that covers these INRs MUST contain RFC 3379
Manderson, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 6491 IANA RPKI Objects February 2012
extensions [RFC3779] for those corresponding number resources in its
certificate. This CA MUST issue single-use end-entity (EE)
certificates for each ROA that it generates. The EE certificate will
conform to the Resource Certificate Profile [RFC6487] and the
additional constraints specified in [RFC6482]. IANA MUST maintain a
publication point for this CA's use and MUST publish manifests
[RFC6486] (with its corresponding EE certificate) for this
publication point. IANA MUST issue a CRL under this CA certificate
for the EE certificates noted above. All objects issued by this CA
will conform to the RPKI Certificate Policy [RFC6484].
11. IANA Considerations
This document directs IANA to issue, or refrain from issuing, the
specific RPKI objects described here for the current set of reserved,
unallocated, and special registry Internet Number Resources.
Further, IANA MUST notify all other INR registries that RPKI objects
have been issued for the Internet Number Resources described in this
document to avoid the potential for issuance of duplicate objects
that might confuse relying parties.
12. Security Considerations
This document does not alter the security profile of the RPKI from
that already discussed in SIDR WG documents.
13. Acknowledgements
The authors acknowledge Dave Meyer for helpful direction with regard
to multicast assignments.
