I am also in favour of pursuing this draft. I do see a benefit in signing RPSL objects.
I understand the argument of Randy: with the keys in the RPKI one can sign anything such as bank transactions, and indeed that doesn't mean we have to do so. But RPSL objects are close to the practice of routing, just like RPKI. And although technically they are different infrastructures, operationally both technologies are used for overlapping goals. I also see advantages for deployment and transition strategies. And there are situations in which ISPs will keep using RPSL and the added authoritative information from RPKI would be a great plus. If the WG thinks this work should proceed, I am available as an additional author/editor of the draft (given the current authors agree with suggestion of chairs). -- Benno On 08/23/2013 12:48 AM, George Michaelson wrote: > I believe this work is important and should continue, and be adopted by > the WG as a deliverable.
