We’ve had a few reports of these. I think they are mostly harmless;
something going on on the TLS layer when fetching RRDP data from
someone.

Unfortunately, I don’t get these here (or maybe not anymore) and
because of the concurrent processing going on, it is a bit difficult to
say which repository these come from. If you still have them and are
curious, maybe you can run Routinator with --validation-threads 1 and
-vv and post the log excerpt around it?

Kind regards,
Martin
