a positive test proves Ze does what the requirement demands and a negative one proves it refuses what the requirement forbids
DRAFT-IETF-SIDROPS-ASPA-VERIFICATION - Verification of AS_PATH Using the Resource Certificate PKI and Autonomous System Provider Authorization
Every requirement this repository extracted from DRAFT-IETF-SIDROPS-ASPA-VERIFICATION, the tests bound to it, and what a reader has verified about them. This summary is enrolled and gated by ./le rfc check.
Overview
Positive
what Ze has
the requirement admits no counter-case, so one polarity plus a recorded reason is the whole proof available for it
one direction is tested, the other is neither tested nor excused, and nothing states which
a red was observed once under a recorded procedure, and the unit, the claim and the producer it rested on still hash to what was recorded. The break is not re-run. A test pair is not a proof until one has been observed
Neutral
measures that are neither good news nor bad
MUST-level requirements the gate HOLDS. A population, not a result: the shares beside it are what says how Ze stands
an obligation that does not bind Ze. A {not-applicable} annotation says it never bound; a {feature-declined} annotation says its condition is an optional feature Ze does not offer, and quotes the RFC sentence that makes it optional. Scope, not coverage: it stays in the denominator every share on this page is taken over
a {not-applicable} annotation says the obligation does not bind Ze, so no test is owed for it. It stays in the denominator every share here is taken over
a {lower-layer} annotation says a layer under Ze performs the behavior, on state Ze installs into that layer, and names the producer that installs it. The obligation binds Ze and is met; Ze proves none of it, because its own boundary carries no value the behavior reads
a {feature-declined} annotation says the obligation is conditional on a feature the RFC makes optional and Ze does not offer, and it quotes the sentence that makes it optional. The condition is false, so nothing is owed and nothing is missing. It stays in the denominator every share here is taken over
Negative
what Ze owes
no test carries the requirement id, whether or not a gap states why
The 7 shares marked as a part above are the whole of the 8 gated MUSTs: they add to 100%. Proven by a recorded break is a share of TAGGED UNITS, a different population, so it is not one of them.
How to read the colors
A color names what the measure MEANS, not how well Ze scores on it. Green is a good outcome at any value, red is a bad one, and neither a population nor a scope count is an outcome, so both take no color. The number under the label is what says how far Ze has got.
| Card | Tone here | Why that color |
|---|---|---|
| Gated MUSTs | neutral | no color: a population is a scale, and a larger one is neither good news nor bad. It is the accounting total |
| Out of scope | neutral | no color: an obligation that never bound Ze is neither an achievement nor a failure, and counting it either way would be a claim |
| Tested both ways | ok | green at every value: a test pair is the outcome this gate exists to produce, and the share under the label is what says how far Ze has got |
| One polarity plus reason | ok | green at every value: where no counter-case exists, one polarity IS the complete answer, and a recorded reason is what the gate demands beside it |
| One polarity, unexcused | ok | green at zero, RED above it: half a proof with no reason for the other half |
| No test at all | bad | green at zero, RED above it: a binding obligation nothing exercises is a claim with nothing behind it, whether or not a reason is stated |
| Not applicable | neutral | no color: an obligation that never bound Ze is neither an achievement nor a failure, and counting it either way would be a claim |
| Met below Ze | neutral | no color: an obligation met below Ze is neither a test Ze wrote nor work Ze owes, and the two green shares above are what says how much Ze proves itself |
| Optional feature declined | neutral | no color: an obligation whose condition Ze never meets is neither an achievement nor a failure. The absent FEATURE is disclosed on the RFC's own status row, as an implementation gap a later scope decision can revisit |
| Proven by a recorded break | ok | green at every value: an observed break is the outcome the discrimination gate exists to produce. The denominator is TAGGED UNITS, not obligations, so this share is not one of the parts above |
| Audit verdicts | warn | RED on the first weak, wrong or unimplemented verdict, amber while a verdict is no longer current or a gated MUST is unjudged, green when every one is judged sound and current |

What the public ledger says
Status: Partial
What the ledger says is covered
- Section 6 verification algorithm (upstream/downstream), AS_SET to Unknown, prepend collapse, AS0-in-provider rejection, RTR ASPA PDU (Type 11) consumption, and re-validation on cache change. Two MUSTs unmet: per-AFI ASPA records (6-4, the AFI flag is parsed then discarded and the cache is keyed by customer AS alone, so per-AFI records overwrite each other)
- Invalid-not-preferred (8-1, ASPA state drives only reject/keep with default LogOnly, so an accepted Invalid route can outrank a Valid one for the same prefix).
What the ledger says remains:
-Coverage
| Bucket | Count | What it counts |
|---|---|---|
| Positive and negative tests | 4 | one part of the gated population |
| Annotated instead of tested | 4 | one part of the gated population |
| One polarity only | 0 | one part of the gated population |
| No test and no annotation | 0 | one part of the gated population |
| Evidence that runs nightly only | 0 | an overlay: each of these is also counted by the part it falls in |
| Gated MUST-level requirements | 8 | every gated MUST falls in exactly one bucket above |

no testno negative test{single-polarity}: verifyASPA runs on every received UPDATE carrying an AS_PATH whenever ASPA is enabled (a superset that includes customer and peer routes), and there is no required case where such a route must NOT be verified (internal/component/bgp/plugins/rpki/rpki.go:338) |

no testno negative test{gap}: the ASPA PDU AFI-flags byte is read only to reject unknown AFI and is then discarded; ASPARecord carries no AFI field and the cache is keyed by customer AS alone, so per-AFI records for one customer overwrite each other and one AS_PATH state is applied to both IPv4 and IPv6 NLRIs (internal/component/bgp/plugins/rpki/aspa_cache.go:10-13, rpki.go:344) |

no testno positive testnegative
no testno negative test{gap}: ASPA state drives only a binary reject/keep decision with no local-pref demotion or best-path tiebreak, and the default Invalid action is LogOnly (retain), so an accepted ASPA-Invalid route competes on ordinary BGP attributes and can outrank an ASPA-Valid route for the same prefix (internal/component/bgp/plugins/rpki/rpki.go:92-100, rpki_config.go:110) |

no testno negative test{single-polarity}: ApplyDelta atomically replaces cache entries at each End of Data and verifyASPA reads the live cache under lock, so verification always reflects the applied delta; there is no stale-data mode to test negatively (internal/component/bgp/plugins/rpki/aspa_cache.go:110-129) |

Proof state
A tagged unit reads unproven where no discrimination record exists for it: nothing in this tree has been observed to break it, so the claim its tag makes is unproven.
