[bcop] Feedback Requested: Routing Resilience Manifesto

Hi Barry,

This is an excellent blogpost and good recommendations, too. I'd love to
see what you just said below in the "comments" section on the Manifesto
site. So if you can spend some time, please go to
https://www.routingmanifesto.org/manifesto/, scroll down and submit your
comments.

What we are looking for to put in the Manifesto, next to each Action, is
a set of references to relevant BCOPs. Something like
draft-ietf-opsec-bgp-security, which will become an RFC soon. Are there
other documents like this?

Thank you again,

Andrei

We really need the face to face time at the operator level to have trust established before the "leaks." In essence, the recommendations should be to minimize the risk and speed the recovery when mistakes happen. "Mistakes" will happen.
