<div class="">Hi John,<br class="">

</div>
<div class="">So along the risk line with whois at one end and spam RBLs at the other, RPKI sounds almost identical to the risk of deploying DNSSEC. Or am I missing something that makes RPKI more risky?<br class="">

<div class=""> You asked for a comparison between whois and RPKI in terms of </div>
<div class=""> risk profile and I provided that. ARIN doesn’t run spam RBLs, but </div>
<div class=""> you can seek out those who do and ask them why they think that</div>
<div class=""> may be more risky than RPKI services, if you so wish.</div>
