As the RPKI ecosystem continues to evolve to provide the data for securing BGP Internet routing, the foundations are being laid for the long term need for forensic analysis tools and the long term study of that ecosystem.

For BGP, we've long had the MRT files gathered by various looking glass projects such as route-views. That data today is part of long term trend analysis for BGP and a tool for triaging global routing problems.

The rpki-views work and related IETF drafts for it, largely driven by Job Snijders, is providing a way to capture the state of the RPKI. As Internet routing analysis eventually becomes more dependent on the state of the RPKI at a given moment, such state becomes a critical component of any ex post facto analysis of BGP routing security from BGP routing data.

While the attached article is effectively discussing an "oops" while building out this ecosystem, it provides a good set of links to spelunk for the above topics.
