Hi Bruno & all,

Just focusing on Q1:

Few observations:

A. draft-ietf-sidr-origin-validation-signaling does not really modify
a BGP best path selection .. it adds a check before BGP best path
selection algorithm kicks in.

B. Adding new POI is not needed as we already have a POI = 128 which
is to be executed before any step in BGP best path selection hence at
exactly the same point as this draft recommends.

therefor one obvious question comes in:

C. Based on A & B there is clear conflict not addresses in the draft.
Assume both custom decision with POI = 128 "ABSOLUTE_VALUE" as well as
origin validation are enabled. Moreover assume they result in opposite
decisions. So the question of the day is: "Which of those two is the
one to win the pre best path check ?" Effectively - which of those two
is more important ?

The answer to this question should be included in the draft. And I do
suspect authors of both drafts will answer: mine !

Thx,
R.
