As the global RPKI data set and system load grows, we want to ensure =
that the system is performing well. This is why we have added =
measurement functionality to the RIPE NCC RPKI Validator toolset:
https://www.ripe.net/certification/rpki-validator-metrics

When enabled, it will gather the following data and send it to the RIPE =
NCC for analysis:

- Connection success rate to the configured repositories
- Whether IPv4 or IPv6 is used to connect
- Repository inconsistencies
- Time taken to validate all retrieved objects

There is a detailed post on the sidr mailing list with more information:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/sidr/current/msg04595.html

We would really appreciate it if as many people from across the globe =
send us performance data.=20
If you would like to participate, please install the latest RPKI =
Validator and leave it running as a service permanently:

https://www.ripe.net/certification/tools-and-resources

All you need is a system with Java 1.6, rsync and 1GB of available =
memory. Simply unzip the file, run ./bin/rpki-validator from the base =
directory and browse to http://localhost:8080. Then enable the =
performance metrics by clicking "Yes" to the prompt.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know.

Many thanks,

Alex Band
