I heard about the delay, but not about ARIN possibly not doing RPKI. That would be ... surprising. While I have always had some questions regarding the political (not technical) feasibility of actually deploying secure routing based on the top-down hierarchical model assumed by RPKI, it seems obvious to me that there needs to be a better way to authenticate allocation data other than querying a whois server. RPKI will (would have?) provided this and the actual deployment of RPKI would allow the ops community to gain experience with the technology. > as it has impact on routing, not address policy, across > north america and, in fact the globe, one would think it would be > announced and discussed a bit more openly and widely. The definition of what comes under the "public policy mailing list" umbrella has always been a bit confusing to me. Too bad something like the APNIC SIGs and RIPE Working Groups don't really exist in the ARIN region. Regards, -drc
