Title: Guidance to Avoid Carrying RPKI Validation States in BGP Path Attributes
Reviewer: Henry S. Thompson
Review Date: 2025-06-17

*Summary*

As far as I can tell as a non-specialist, the presentation of this
proposed BCP is in good shape.  There is one minor suggestion and some
editorial nits below.

*Minor point*

1.

 ... "states leak through to EGBP speakers."  Would it be possible to
 _briefly_ mention here at least one known way in which such leakage
 can occur in a conformant router?  That way operators of 'good'
 routers may realise this document is relevant to them.

*Nits*

1.

 In this phrase

 "Annotating ... Attribute carried across EBGP session (based on validation
  states) means that BGP UPDATE messages have to be sent to every
  neighbor when the aforementioned validation states"

 there's a minor grammatical problem.  I would suggest the following
 change

 "... Attribute carried across an EBGP session (based on validation
  states) means that BGP UPDATE messages have to be sent to every
  neighbor when the aforementioned validation states"

4.

 "BGP communities" -> "BGP Communities" [here and in 4 other places below]

 "hold similar" -> "hold in a similar way"

4.1

 "a large amounts" -> "large amounts"

4.1.2

 "caused by operators to signal validation states" ->
 "caused by operators signalling validation states"
