Is it permissible, from a policy perspective, for a multi-homed end user to announce the numbering resource allocation received from one RIR (for discussion purposes, let's say ARIN) to upstream service providers in a different region (for example, in the RIPE region)?
Nope. The RIR-police will shut you down. Just kidding. I'm in ARIN's region and have a customer in Africa for whom we're announcing AFRINIC space. It happens. As long as you have authorization from the registrant (I'd say owner, but the RIR-semantics police would come for me) of the space, I wouldn't worry about utilizing "out of region" numbering resources. This sort of thing probably happens quite a bit more than you'd guess...both legitmately and not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis, MCP :) | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
