Is BGP safe yet? On Rogers apparently not

stepy2015
I plan to stick around

Over the past couple of days I came across https://isbgpsafeyet.com/ a site by Cloudflare designed to test if RPKI has been implemented by your ISP and upon running the test I got this "Your ISP (Rogers Cable, AS812) does not implement BGP safely. It should be using RPKI to protect the Internet from BGP hijacks." So my question now is when will Rogers be implementing RPKI, is it on the roadmap? I know many ISP's in the US already implement RPKI and it seems Rogers and the other Canadian ISP's have been lagging behind

@stepy2015  FYI, I commented about this a few years ago:  https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Community-Lounge/When-will-Rogers-switch-to-secure-BGP-routing...

 

Yes, this is something that Rogers should do, but I do not know whether there are any technical reasons why they have not done so as of yet either.  As far as I know, Telus is the only major Canadian ISP that signs and filters BGP updates; Bell, Rogers, Shaw, and Videotron still do not.
