Keep mind rpki only solves misorigination.


I'm very well aware that RPKI only solves misorigination. But
misorigination is a significant problem, so that's a good problem to be
solved.

Not engaging with RPKI because it doesn't perfectly solve every
BGP-adjacent issue is a poor argument.

Some of the largest , most impactful route leaks have come from
non-transit networks reliant on IRR managed prefix lists.


Can you be more specific?

Was it malicious?

Who in the usa was impacted ?

Sigh, industry hasn't solved spoofing and routing insecurity in two

Industry has been saying 'don't regulate us' for decades.


I hope the regulations are more outcome focused.
