Technical people need to make the business case to management for RKPI by laying out what it would cost to implement (equipment, resources, ongoing opex), and what the savings are to the company from protecting themselves against hijacks. By taking this step, I believe RPKI will become viewed by non-technical decision makers as a 'Cloudflare initiative' instead of a 'good of the internet' initiative, especially by some companies who compete with Cloudflare in the CDN space.
I believe that will change the calculus and make it a more difficult sell for technical people to get resources approved to make it happen.
If i am not wrong, for most routers implementing RPKI means spinning up VM with RPKI cache that need significant tinkering? I guess it is a blocker for many, unless some "ready made" solutions offered by vendors. Also, if ISP configure his router and it did crashed because he installed some "no warranty whatsoever" software from cloudflare github, what is next? I guess this might be not welcome in support contracts. P.S. Sorry for previous post top-posted. Just by mistake hit "Send" before i finished it
