Introduction + + Autonomous System 0 was listed in the IANA Autonomous System Number + Registry as "Reserved - May be use [sic] to identify non-routed + networks" ([IANA.AS_Numbers]). + + [RFC6491] specifies that AS 0 in a Route Origin Attestation (ROA) is + used to mark a prefix and all its more specific prefixes as not to be + used in a routing context. This allows a resource holder to signal + that a prefix (and the more specifics) should not be routed by + publishing a ROA listing AS 0 as the only origin. To respond to this + signal requires that BGP implementations not accept or propagate + routes containing AS 0. + + No clear statement that AS 0 was proscribed could be found in any BGP + specification. This document corrects this omission, most + importantly in the case of the AS_PATH. This represents an update to + the error handling procedures given in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of + [RFC4271] by specifying the behavior in the presence of AS 0. + + At least two implementations discard routes containing AS 0, and this + document codifies this behavior. + +1.1. 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]. + + + + + + + + + + +Kumari, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 7607 AS 0 Processing August 2015 + + +2. Behavior + + A BGP speaker MUST NOT originate or propagate a route with an AS + number of zero in the AS_PATH, AS4_PATH, AGGREGATOR, or + AS4_AGGREGATOR attributes. + + An UPDATE message that contains the AS number of zero in the AS_PATH + or AGGREGATOR attribute MUST be considered as malformed and be + handled by the procedures specified in [RFC7606]. + + An UPDATE message that contains the AS number of zero in the AS4_PATH + or AS4_AGGREGATOR attribute MUST be considered as malformed and be + handled by the procedures specified in [RFC6793]. + + If a BGP speaker receives zero as the peer AS in an OPEN message, it + MUST abort the connection and send a NOTIFICATION with Error Code + "OPEN Message Error" and subcode "Bad Peer AS" (see Section 6 of + [RFC4271]). A router MUST NOT initiate a connection claiming to be + AS 0. + + Authors of future protocol extensions that carry the Autonomous + System number are encouraged to keep in mind that AS 0 is reserved + and to provide clear direction on how to handle AS 0. + +3. IANA Considerations + + The IANA has updated the registry for "16-bit Autonomous System + Numbers" so that the entry for AS 0 is simply "Reserved". + +4. Security Considerations + + By allowing a Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) resource + holder to issue a ROA saying that AS 0 is the only valid origin for a + route, we allow them to state that a particular address resource is + not in use. By ensuring that all implementations that see AS 0 in a + route ignore that route, we prevent a malicious party from announcing + routes containing AS 0 in an attempt to hijack those resources. + + In addition, by standardizing the behavior upon reception of an + AS_PATH (or AS4_PATH) containing AS 0, this document makes the + behavior better defined. + + + + + + + + + + +Kumari, et al.
