While I am not a fan of some of Cloudflares actions over the years, they have been positive in the RPKI space for the last several years. They've hosted multiple meetings in their offices with some of the largest networks in the world to discuss RPKI strategy and deployment. They've opened sourced software to lower the bar for entry. Their staff was accomdating to other network operators when they rolled out Origin Validation to not black hole parts of the Internet and reached out to networks to let them know of the error to get it fixed. They, like the network I support have been impacted by some of the same hijacks and I share their frustration when major carriers are not only slow to deploy RPKI or have no plan at all (or even a plan to properly filter their customers: see Verizon). They've been a part of the fight along with other folks who are silent (but those who know, know them).

RPKI is no surprise. People have been beating on their upstreams for it for well over a year. Almost all Internet Exchanges have enabled BGP Origin Validation on their route servers (thanks to the efforts of folks like Job from NTT). It's about time we have a site like this that highlights the overall status of it. That said, there's more we can be doing here to provide metrics on RPKI adoption on the Internet.
