Unreadable Trust Anchor Locator #867

Closed shappleberry closed 6 years ago

shappleberry commented 6 years ago

Is there a specific format that the RPKI.net toolkit uses for .tal files? It considers the ripe-ncc.tal file unreadable as well as all externally calling .tal files. The only .tal file it can read is the one generated by the parent.

We implement RFC 7730, which is the IETF Standards Track TAL format.

There's another IETF Standards Track TAL format: RFC 6490. Is there an advantage to 7730 over 6490?

sraustein commented 6 years ago

RFC 7730 added support for multiple URIs and for non-rsync URIs.

There were a couple of reasons for this, one of which I consider silly, but the other was to enable transition from rsync to RRDP.

Thank you! This was good to know. My TAL files are readable now.
