An Introduction to ASPA – Validating AS-Paths with the help of RPKI

This presentation will introduce ASPA, a new object in RPKI to help with AS-Path validation. It will begin with a quick refresher on RPKI, discussing the role of ROAs, and then the focus will be on ASPAs, what the object looks like, what is required as actions from operators, and a brief discussion about how validation works. We will also show what other objects are available these days in RPKI, to round up the presentation.
