What Is Route Origin Validation?
Route Origin Validation (ROV) is the BGP process of checking a route advertisement against RPKI data to confirm the announcing AS is authorized to originate that prefix. It lets routers reject invalid or hijacked routes before they propagate across the internet.
How Whisper models it
ANNOUNCED_PREFIX—ANNOUNCED_BY→ASN←ROA_AUTHORIZES_ORIGIN—ROA
Validation joins the announced origin to the ROA plane in one traversal — authorized or not, on the same rows.
