Hi, As you know there are discussions about the rpki repository and validation standards and infrastructure. There was some discussion and people suggested that we (as a wg) should do more, distributed, measurements.
To help this effort we have now built a statistics feedback option in our validator. If enabled it will gather statistics on the following and send them to us after every validation run (per TA configured): = availability of rsync repositories = reachability of rsync TA repositories over IPv4 vs IPv6 = total time it takes to do a full validation for a trust anchor = frequency of finding inconsistencies for any CA where an object mentioned on the mft can not be found, or the mft is out of sync with some object(s) = some statistic about your system (OS, java version, memory, your public ip address) to help us uniquely identify instances and see if any of these parameters influence the performance of our tool in other ways (i.e. this may be needed to reduce noise in measurement analysis) So, I would like to invite everyone interested on this list to download our validator and leave it running on a server with this feedback option enabled. New version can be downloaded here: https://certification.ripe.net/content/public-repo/releases/net/ripe/rpki-validator/rpki-validator-app/2.3/rpki-validator-app-2.3-bin.zip It should work fine on a linux system with openjdk 6 or 7 and rsync, and preferably 1 GB of memory.
