describe propagation speed of RPKI/ROV as an advantages over RIR/filter generation

[maertsen]

Some points that came up when discussing this:

• operators have decreased validation frequency of RP sofware over time (Routinator's currently at 10min), in contrast to filter generation where updates are created daily(?)
• this speed advantage is a result of participation of all major stakeholders during standardization, from RIRs to operators and from router platform vendors to developers of RPs, publication points etc.

• operators have decreased validation frequency of RP sofware over time (currently at 10min)

Could you elaborate? Are you saying most operates are validating at 10 minute intervals? I find that very hard to believe.

Considering the amount of operators still running the RIPE RPKI validator, I'd say that you'd have to account for at least 2 hours, considering only non-hanging RP instances. Of course those instances that are hanging won't produce any updates at all, pushing obsolete VRPs to routers.

hi @lukastribus, my 10 mins referred to the Routinator default, I've just clarified that. It seems there are/were even RP's with a interval of 2 mins: https://labs.apnic.net/?p=1338. And yes, there's also RP's with longer intervals. Anyway, the point is not about the specifics, the point is about the relative difference vs. IRR/filter generation.
