Last Notes npub1ea9ann7rg360tdg25um5cgy5663x04ynvxlj2xkgkk9z4ky8u06qtpvzy5 Per Thorsheim Today I did my presentation «Praise to the few and fury to those without: convincing Norway to do RPKI ROA & ASPA» at NONOG-8 in Oslo.

But can you tell tell me why 5683 is also very popular, especially in English speaking countries?

Through history back to 1989 (BGP), L0pht testifying for congress in 1998 and lots more, I will explain the problem, the gaps, current status and what we need to do to fix a global internet routing security issue that is exploited many times daily.

They don't support it. Why not? The competition does. Take note Gartner! There are tons of (potential) customers within EU that are not allowed to use Proofpoint without such support!
