Just to be clear, this is not a route freshness mechanism I am recommending. What I am recommending is a signal that a repository has newer data that may be needed for validation. Given such a mechanism, we may be able to reduce the work upon the repository mirroring system (distributed or not) by not having to regularly poll for new objects frequently unless the repository indicates there is new data present. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
