seems to me that certified validation of prefix ownership and as path are the only real way out of these problems that does not teach us the 42 reasons we use a *dynamic* protocol.
Wouldn't a well-operated network of IRRs used by 95% of network operators be able to meet all three of your requirements?
Maybe I missed something, but didn't Verio say the prefix was in their internal registry, and that's why it was accepted.
Perhaps by "well-operated", Michael was referring to something like the hierarchical authentication scheme used by the RIPE database, which ultimately provides access control for route objects using RIR allocation/assignment data? Joe
