fwiw, we have not tested the scaling of rpki-rtr performance as much as we might have. we synthesized an rpki cache with roas for all the prefixes in a current table, 370k of them or whatever, and let routers load that cache from zip to full. for low-end routers and a mediocre cache server, either local or across noam, it took less than five seconds. this was small enough that we moved on to other stuff.

Did you do this on routers that already had fully converged tables, or, did you bootstrap the table load into the routers at the same time as would be the case in a power failure, post-crash reboot, software upgrade, etc.? If only the former, may I suggest that at least doing some level of the latter might prove a useful exercise? I apologize for this mildly operational question. Y'all can go back to Randy's fud-laiden black helicopters now. Owen
