BGP Validation State Doesn't Dictate Routing Policy
A new tutorial series clarifies that RPKI validation results (valid, invalid, not_found) are separate from routing policy decisions. The code demonstrates three possible actions—accept, deprioritize, reject—showing that operators can choose different responses to the same validation state. This distinction is often misunderstood in network engineering.

The piece usefully debunks a common oversimplification, but its impact is limited to a niche audience of BGP operators and network engineers.
