[DBWG] AFRINIC RPKI RRDP connectivity issues?

[Job Snijders]

Another day comes and goes, and the issue is still ongoing:

IPv6 works well enough:

    $ wget -6 -O /dev/zero https://rrdp.afrinic.net/11218e02-4ae9-4c95-a8fa-49df27f15272/74251/snapshot.xml
    2023-05-29 10:11:18 (745 KB/s) - ‘/dev/zero’ saved [38757407/38757407]

IPv4 is too slow for normal operations:

    $ wget -4 -O /dev/zero https://rrdp.afrinic.net/11218e02-4ae9-4c95-a8fa-49df27f15272/74251/snapshot.xml
    2023-05-29 10:34:05 (28.2 KB/s) - ‘/dev/zero’ saved [38757407/38757407]

I've suggested the AfriNIC NOC to disable RRDP (serving HTTP 404
responses instead of the RRDP XML), disabling RRDP in such a way will
cause all RPKI validators to switch to rsync - a protocol more suited to
bandwidth-constrained environments, but I've not heard any response or
seen any such change.

I am at a loss why an issue like this persists for multiple weeks.

Kind regards,

Job
