+1. 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].

+
+
+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.
