A few months ago we shared the outcomes that are guiding the work that we are doing as part of the NRO RPKI Program. We mentioned that we would like to know more about the community’s expectations with regard to consistency in RPKI implementation across the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) with the end goal of defining what a single, global RPKI system would look like.
We want to know more about the experience of managing resources through multiple RIRs to understand whether the differences in the RIRs’ RPKI implementations are hindering RPKI adoption, specifically Route Origin Authorization (ROA) creation, and if so, which differences are the most painful. This will allow us to focus on making those aspects of the RPKI system more consistent.
With this in mind, we will be conducting a survey, inviting network operators responsible for IP space allocated by different RIRs to ask them about what stage of the RPKI adoption journey they are at, and what barriers they may have experienced or are currently experiencing. Survey participants will have the option to volunteer to participate be interviewed, so we can dig deeper into some of their answers.
Are you a network operator responsible for IP space allocated by multiple RIR? Please take the NRO RPKI Program survey before September 12 (Your multi-RIR experience in creating ROAs).
Look out for an update on our learnings from the survey and the interviews in the next couple of months!
