Welcome to rtrlib-python’s documentation!

rtrlib-python is a cffi based binding for RTRlib.

The RTRlib implements the client-side of the RPKI-RTR protocol (RFC 6810) and BGP Prefix Origin Validation (RFC 6811). This release also supports Internet-Draft draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-rtr-rfc6810-bis, which enables the maintenance of router keys. Router keys are required to deploy BGPSEC.

Currently only basic validation against one cache is supported.
