1. Requirements notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. Introduction
This informational document defines a human readable notation for
Validated ROA Payloads (VRPs) [RFC6811].
We provide this notation because it can can help to create
consistency between RPKI Relying Party software output, making it
easier for operators to compare results. It can also be used by RPKI
Certificate Authorities (CA) command line interfaces and/or
configuration. E.g. allowing a CA to provide a listing of intended
VRPs which can be easily compared to RP output. Our final goal is
that this will be helpful for documentation.
That said, this document is informational. Implementations can
choose to use their own notation styles instead of, or in addition to
this.

3. VRP Notation Definition
This specification uses ABNF syntax specified in [RFC5234].
notation = vrp-prefix separator origin-asn
vrp-prefix = v4-vrp-prefix / v6-vrp-prefix
v4-vrp-prefix = v4-cidr ["-" max-length-v4]
v4-cidr = v4-address "/" v4-pfx-length
v4-address = v4-byte "." v4-byte "." v4-byte "." v4-byte
v4-byte = %d0-255
v4-pfx-length = %d0-32
v4-max-length = %d0-32
v6-vrp-prefix = v6-cidr ["-" v6-max-length]
v6-cidr = v6-address "/" v6-pfx-length
v6-address = (v6-un / v6-no-0 / v6-l-0 / v6-m-0 / v6-t-0)
v6-un = "::"
v6-no-0 = v6-bytes 7*7(":" v6-bytes)
v6-l-0 = ":" 1*7(":" v6-bytes)
v6-m-0 = 1*6(v6-bytes ":") ":" 1*6(":" v6-bytes)
v6-t-0 = 1*7(v6-bytes ":") ":"
v6-bytes = %x0-FFFF
v6-pfx-length = %d0-128
v6-max-length = %d0-128
separator = " => "
origin-asn = ["AS"] uint32
uint32 = %d0-4294967295
3.1. roa-prefix
This field denotes a single Validated ROA Prefix (VRP) as defined in
section 2 of [RFC6811]. VRPs consist of either an IPv4 or an IPv6
prefix using CIDR prefix notation, optionally followed by a max-
length value.
Unfortunately we could not find pre-existing formal ABNF syntax
specifications for IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR prefix notation. The fairly
basic specifications defined above cover the notation of valid CIDR
prefixes, but it should be noted that they also allow for the
notation of invalid IPv6 addresses, and allow for prefix length
values that are not applicable to the base IP address. Rather than
trying to define these rule in detail here we refer to section 3.1 of
[RFC4632] for guidelines on IPv4 CIDR notation and section 2.3 of
[RFC4291] for IPv6.

Internet-Draft VRP Notation July 2023
If the max-length is specified then its value needs to be the same as
or longer than the length of the prefix within the bounds applicable
to the address family of the prefix. If it is omitted then the
effective max-length for the VRP will be the same as the VPR prefix
length.
3.2. origin-asn
This field can optionally be prepended with the string "AS" followed
by a decimal value of a 32 bit Autonomous System Number using the
asplain presentation as specified in [RFC5396]. Decimal values MUST
be used, and values MUST be part of the range 0-4294967295.
