I propose adding the following paragraph in Section 7. 
Please let me know if this would help resolve your concern/comment.  

The deployment structure, technologies and best 
practices concerning global RPKI data to reach routers 
(via local RPKI caches) are described in [RFC6810] 
[RFC7115] [I-D.ietf-sidr-bgpsec-ops] 
[I-D.-ietf-sidr-delta-protocol] [rsync]. 
For example, serial-number based incremental update 
mechanisms are used for efficient transfer of just the 
data records that have changed since last update [RFC6810]. 
Update notification file is used by relying parties (RPs) 
to discover whether any changes exist between the state of 
the global RPKI repository and the RP's cache 
[I-D.-ietf-sidr-delta-protocol]. The notification describes 
the location of the files containing the snapshot and 
incremental deltas which can be used by the RP to 
synchronize with the repository. Making use of these 
technologies and best practices results in enabling 
robustness, efficiency, and better security for the 
BGPsec routers and RPKI caches in terms of the flow 
of RPKI data from repositories to RPKI caches 
to routers (in distilled form). 

If you feel that the following sentence adds additional value, 
it can be added at the end:

In particular, by following these methods, security concerns 
related to possible correlation of RPKI data access 
and BGP update events are also mitigated.  

You may edit/suggesting any wording improvements. 
I look forward to your further guidance on this. 
Thank you.

Sriram
