Are you using RPKI and what implementation issues have you encountered?

If an administrator of an autonomous system (AS) begins advertising all or part of another company's assigned network, BGP has no built-in method to recognize the error and respond in a way that would avoid service interruptions.

A security enhancement is to set up a Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) server, using third-party software. The RPKI server handles the actual authentication of public key certificates. The server is set up so that certain prefixes or prefix ranges are allowed to originate from certain autonomous systems.

The BGP—Origin AS Validation feature helps prevent network administrators from inadvertently advertising routes to networks they do not control. This feature uses a Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) server to authenticate that certain BGP prefixes originated from an expected autonomous system before the prefixes are allowed to be advertised.
