do we have anything other than conjecture on which to base estimations of the numbers of CAs or repositories? > I jump to 'CA == REPO == AS-Operator == ASN allocated' because lacking > any direct data otherwise it seems like a good estimation of numbers. great example of conjecture. do you have any fact/measurement-based idea of how many CAs or repositories there might be five or ten years from now? the only data i have is the small number of IRR repositories and whois servers. and i suspect/hope that is a poor estimator. but i very strongly doubt that any significant portion of the stub ASs, 84% of the ASs, will run CAs. randy _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
