That is not what I was saying ... And it seems a bit confused. Policy never has, nor likely never will move at the speed of light. Policy by definition is a reflection of human intent. Routing moves at the speed of bits, while passing through what are typically relatively static policy filters and functions. Not sure what you are referring to, unless it was just a fun semantic transformation, when you say policy moves at the speed of light. > >The RPKI needs to react in seconds, rather than minutes, hours, or days.
