Hi All,
   I hope you can help me.
   I'm using Quagga + RPKI in Ubuntu with 4 GB of RAM and the latest RPKI RIPE NCC validator 2.16
   If the validator is running and I start quagga, everything is fine, after I execute: "show rpki prefix-table" I can see IPv4 & IPv6 prefixes; then, after some time (hours) for some reason IPv4 prefixes are lost.
  Something like this:

---- cut here ----
my-rtr> sh rpki prefix-table
RPKI/RTR prefix table
Prefix                                   Prefix Length  Origin-AS

  ...[long output]....

Number of IPv4 Prefixes: 0
Number of IPv6 Prefixes: 1344

---- cut here ----

  The compiled source I'm using is: https://github.com/rtrlib/quagga-rtrlib/tree/feature/rtrlib
  It happens with Ubuntu 13.04 and 14.04
  I have double checked the validator and it has all the ROAs, the communication between quagga and the validator is ok, so, since the validator has all IPv4 ROAs I think the problem is quagga-rtrlib. Anyway I'm willing to modify either one to make it work.

  Thanks,

Alejandro,

Hi Alejandro,

OK, I can reproduce the error. I hope we can fix it soon but no
promise. These weeks are very packed.

Btw, in which context do you use Quagga+RPKI?



Thanks
matthias

Hello Matthias,
Nice to see you can reproduce the error.
Actually I recently joined Lacnic and I'm working in some statistics.
We are also giving tutorials, working with some IXPs and ISPs in the
region to encourage the creation of ROAs and of course we would like to
see prefix validation actually implemented in the future.

Thanks again,

Alejandro,

great!

Please note that we have also an beta implementation available for the
BIRD (http://bird.network.cz/) BGP Routing daemon:
https://github.com/rtrlib/bird-rtrlib-cli

Hi Matthias,
Great!.., it did not know about (sorry!).
Well, I think you will have a power user over here :-).., for us is
very important to have different applications to test and to use when
teaching, I'm also a university lecturer and this kind of application
help me with my students.
I will take a look to BIRD soon.

Alejandro,
