Hi Bird team, We are currently evaluating the implementation of RFC9234 for our IXP route servers. Looking at it naively, one just needs to set local role rs_server in the protocol. And indeed, routes from peers will be rejected and this is logged.
Instead of just logging, we would really like to apply our "blame and shame" policy, i.e. make the invalid routes (in our case, anything with an OTC set) visible in our looking glass (similar to RPKI invalids). To do so, we'd need the "ineligible" routes to be imported into the main table, tagged in a sensible way. I understand that RFC9234 section 5 mandates that the behaviour wrt OTC attribute handling shall not be configurable by the operator. But ineligible does not require the route to be invisible (see section 3). Would it be possible to implement a more relaxed behaviour by allowing the import of ineligible routes (but never export)? Our current alternative is to avoid using BGP roles capability, but only implement OTC handling in filters.
