With the recent instabilities of the RIPE’s RPKI validator (ver. 2.25) in our infrastructure, we decided to speed up the deployment of Routinator and have both validators run in parallel. The workflow we applied is the following:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Step 1) Get the ROA dataset from both validators (Routinator and RIPE’s validator)</div><div class="">Step 2) Compare the two datasets</div><div class="">Step 3) In case of inconsistencies, use the biggest dataset to configure both Route Servers</div><div class="">Step 4) Send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:noc@ams-ix.net" class="">noc@ams-ix.net</a> for the validator who has inconsistencies. </div><div class="">Step 5) Use the selected ROA dataset and proceed with configuring the Route Servers</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The crucial functionality that helped us integrate the Routinator in our platform fast and easily was the “—listen-http” option and the fact that we can retrieve the ROA dataset in JSON format via the http interface. So, our provisioning scripts use the same code and the changes were minimal. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We will keep track of the stability of Routinator and we will report to NLnet LABs team possible issues that might arise, in order to have a great tool serving our needs for long time. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Special thanks to Martin Hoffmann for all the insight information he provided to us. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><br class=""><div class="">
