Hi Neil, Your criticism seems anchored around some assumptions on how the participants operate their networks; but whatever their methods, participants are adults and autonomously operate their own network. Perhaps I’m misreading you, but you seem to suggest that people are “crazy” for participating in an event which designed to be an educational opportunity, that doesn’t sit well with me.
I expect newcomers to work in their lab, a virtual lab, or on a select few EBGP sessions suitable for experimentation. People sharing and talking about real world configurations has proven to be quite valuable in the NLNOG community. It’s shows, because the Netherlands currently is firmly #1 in RPKI adoption. Kind regards, Job Ps. Alternatively, can you lead the way and show us how to deploy RPKI? Thanks! :-) On Wed, 9 Jan 2019 at 21:41, Neil J.
