Re: Suspecious anycast prefixes

It's perhaps worth noting that there is work in the IETF to
recommend that every prefix originated as part of an anycast cloud
uses a unique origin AS (see
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-unique-origin-as-00>). I'm
not personally convinced of the arguments in the draft, but
mentioning it in this thread seems reasonable.
I'm also not convinced of the arguments in the draft, since it argues
that it would be a best-practice
'A', not 'the', for the reasons conveyed in the draft (e.g., control 
plane discriminator, RPKI foundations, etc..).

danny,

could you explain why this has anything to do with the rpki and origin
validation?
