Ok. S/RPKI/BGPSEC/ > > I don't understand your question... You seemed to be saying "some people are saying beacons wont work" when you said: "I think Randy successfully convinced me during his talk at the Quebec City WG session that "beacons" at a frequency of 24 hours (or anything in the "hours" range) are pretty much useless and add considerable churn and complexity with little return from a practical attack surface perspective. " So, I am asking, are we removing support for beacons in BGPSEC because we don't understand their impact on BGPSEC and they add complexity which makes BGPSEC harder to push uphill. Its very probably an unfair question. Thats why I called it the peanut gallery. -G > > -danny > _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
