ARIN explicitly does not guarantee routability of prefixes it assigns. If service providers choose to filter ARIN allocations, then that is an operational decision. I really don't see what action you expect ARIN to
take along these lines.
Clearly you haven't been following the ppml mailing list. As I have already suggested on that list, ARIN could publish an authoritative directory of all unallocated IP address space at the largest aggregate level in a form that makes it easy for network operators to incorporate into their martian filters. Fast forward to the time when everyone gets their filters directly or indirectly hooked up to the RIR's authoritative directory and this problem goes away. Yes, ARIN cannot directly make the problem go away but ARIN definitely can take action that will lead to a solution of the problem of martian filters. The only thing ARIN would have to guarantee is that their directory is authoritative, complete and updated at least once every 24 hours. The base directory could be published in LDAP form with a BGP version for people who find it easier to work with this. And no, I'm not suggested that anyone connect their productions routers directly to an ARIN BGP feed. Smaller network operators will probably find such a direct BGP feed to be convenient but I expect all the larger network operators to use the BGP feed as a way of monitoring for changes which would be reviewed by some clueful operator before building the filters. That should not be a problem assuming that ARIN issues addresses every weekday. --Michael Dillon
