Enhance Routing Policy Specification Language + IRRDv4 implementation
This project plans to expand the Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL) with new features. RPSL is, roughly, the syntax of the IRR, a sort of collaborative database, used for filter configuration on BGP routers on the internet. Through all those layers, this project will improve the internet's resilience against accidental or malicious improper routing changes. This project includes standards development through the IETF, and implementation in IRRD,the most commonly used IRR server. As part of the IETF process, we'll collaborate with other implementors and internet operators to ensure interoperability that fits in with operational reality. Challenges include maintaining full backwards compatibility with existing systems - something that RPSL was not designed for - while ensuring partial upgrades already are effective at improving internet resilience.
