A potential upside is that hamnet operators maybe have access to some RPKI services now!
OK, I'll bite....how do you mean?
Ah, let me clarify, I didn't mean this as a tongue-in-cheek remark. Previously no RIR "managed" the space in the conventional sense of the word. In the case of 44.0.0.0/8, the consequences seemed to be that none of the RIRs were in a position to provide RPKI services (ROAs) for 44.0.0.0/8 or any more specific block within that /8. I saw that the IANA registry was updated https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml it now shows "Administered by ARIN". My interpretation is that now a pathway exists towards ARIN facilitating the creation of RPKI ROAs which cover (parts of) 44.0.0.0/8. In order to get RPKI services in context of ARIN, it appears a RSA or LRSA needs to exist. I suspect a LRSA-style agreement was instantiated, opening the door for RPKI services. Kind regards, Job
