DE-CIX (http://www.de-cix.net) does (see 4.4 http://www.de-cix.net/info/DE-CIX_technical_requirements.pdf). And afaik that's also true for LINX, AMS-IX, Xchangepoint, ... Look at their policies as well. DE-CIX does not monitor this. However if you are using DE-CIX's routeserver your announcements are filtered against your policy (as path lists and ip filter lists).

hello to all
i was wondering if there were some published docs online regarding the registration of route objects and membership at an ix - specifically, do ixp's around the world require that their members register all of their route objects prior to being allowed to exchange traffic at the ix? if so, how do you/they monitor this? is it left up to the other providers at the ix to verify that they are peering with someone who registers their objects? is this something that an ix could/should worry about? i know that many providers around the world are increasingly requiring registration, and that many build their filters from these registrations, but i have been unable to find anything wrt internet exchanges.
replies on or off, i will summarize
thanks
