Also, at least of the ones I've dealt with, there is no verification of records as they're entered.
on the RIPE IRRDB, there is validation, so you can't just go in and register route: objects for someone else's allocations or assignments.
You mean auth for RIPE region prefixes, as one can also register ARIN/APNIC/etc prefixes in the RIPEdb and then, there is no auth (but a mail to dbm@ripe.net resolves any issues quite quickly if something fake is there)
Yep. For someone with non-RIPE NCC numbers the only manual part of the process is getting a maintainer object created. Once you've done that it's likely that your new parent route object in the RIPE db will be something like this: inetnum: 199.91.32.0 - 199.255.255.255 netname: NON-RIPE-NCC-MANAGED-ADDRESS-BLOCK descr: IPv4 address block not managed by the RIPE NCC remarks: ------------------------------------------------------ remarks: remarks: Networks in this range are not in use in remarks: the RIPE NCC service region. remarks: remarks: You can find the whois server to query, or the remarks: IANA registry to query on this web page: remarks: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space remarks: remarks: You can access databases of other RIR's at: remarks: remarks: AFRINIC (Africa) remarks: http://www.afrinic.net/ whois.afrinic.net remarks: remarks: APNIC (Asia Pacific) remarks: http://www.apnic.net/ whois.apnic.net remarks: remarks: ARIN (Northern America) remarks: http://www.arin.net/ whois.arin.net remarks: remarks: LACNIC (Latin America and the Carribean) remarks: http://www.lacnic.net/ whois.lacnic.net remarks: remarks: ------------------------------------------------------ which includes mnt-routes: RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT corresponding to mntner: RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT descr: This maintainer may be used to create objects to represent descr: routing policy in the RIPE Database for number resources not descr: allocated or assigned from the RIPE NCC. admin-c: RD132-RIPE auth: MD5-PW # Filtered remarks: ******************************************************* remarks: * The password for this object is 'RPSL', without the * remarks: * quotes.
