In bgp_sovc.h, at the top, it says:

BGP Secure Origin Validation Code

Further down in the file, it says:

BGP Secured Origin Validate Cache – SOVC

Basically, the router downloads the VRPs from the RPKI server, using RFC 6810.

Then it uses the downloaded VRPs to validate received routes using RFC 6811.

SOVC refers to the code that does that.

Am have tried to find out what is the abbreviation for SOVC with no luck.

#sh bgp ipv4 unicast rpki servers
BGP SOVC neighbor is X.X.X.47/323 connected to port 323

Anyone have encountered this?

Thanks!
