Hi, The draft's authors have reviewed the WG discussion and have decided to use, with acknowledgement in the draft, and an expression of thanks here, the terminology in a related WG draft, draft-ietf-sidr-pfx-validate. The revised terminology does not refer to a route as being "valid", "invalid" or "unknown", but refers to an attribute of the route, namely its "validity state", and this attribute has the values of "valid", "invalid" or "unknown", and notes that "not found" is synonymous to "unknown" in this context. The authors trust that this distinction addresses the issues WG members had over the terminology in the previous version of this draft, that used such state attributions directly on the route itself, rather than on a nominated attribute of the route.
The announcement of the submission of this revised draft is below. regards, Geoff A new version of I-D, draft-ietf-sidr-roa-validation-07.txt has been successfully submitted by Geoff Huston and posted to the IETF repository.
