(Feb. 25) NTCA submitted comments to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) pertaining to its Border Gateway Protocol Security and Resilience Initial Public Draft. In its comments, NTCA emphasized that expecting small broadband providers to undergo the costly and time-consuming task of conducting Route Origin Validation (ROV) adds virtually no additional routing security and would result in small providers having to focus their time and money on ROV rather than other cyber practices that they have determined are more effective for their networks.
