I'd like to share an update on RFC 9234 deployment. RFC 9234 titled
"BGP Open Policy" aka the "Only-To-Customer" (OTC) BGP Path Attribute is
an anti-route-leak mechanism which is *NOT* based on RPKI! (yes ...
routing security is more than just RPKI! :-)

Calgary-based YYCIX deployed RFC9234 support in late 2022/early 2023
using OpenBGPD; and FranceIX deployed support using BIRD in Q2 2024.
Both IXPs configured their route servers to reject BGP routes that have
an OTC attribute attached, and to attach an OTC attribute when
propagating routes to the Route Server's peers.

Do they have configuration snippets available anywhere?

With BIRD, it looks like a global "local role rs_server;" might be all that is needed.
