@arstechnica Some transit providers are already requiring smaller ASNs (like hosting providers) to have routes in the RPKI before they will be accepted. My employer ran into this recently due to the Cogent/Tata pissing match, when we tried to bring up our backup service unilaterally by changing our BGP. Our upstream took the routes from us (their long-trusted customer & BGP peer) but they all were dropped by nexthops. Annoying to learn in a DR situation, but a good thing.

@arstechnica The internet will be a total of 12 ASNs by 2030 anyway who even cares.
