I care mostly about routes to destinations close to me. If someone steals a route from someone on other side of the world everyone will rightly assume it is the other guys having trouble. Plus we simply do not have much traffic there. On the other hand it adds up for the target if many ISPs around the world is fooled. But that is just my ramblings. I am also warning that the RIPE tool already ignores ARIN. Anyone from RIPE will be ignoring you unless they go out of their way to fix it. My bet is therefore that ARIN is being ignored by many if not most. Regards Baldur Den 08/12/2014 23.46 skrev "Mark Andrews" <marka@isc.org>:

We signed our ROAs but we wont be validating anything from the ARIN region. I believe you will find this to be the norm. The tool provided by RIPE also ignores ARIN by default.
Someone will probably tell me that I am being arrogant again, but basically you are asking me to help protect your routes. And you want me to sign something first. I am not going to even read that agreement. I do not believe I am alone in this.
Well the tool is designed to prevent you being fooled by people injecting bogus routing information. If you wish to continue to be fooled so be it.
If I was running a ISP I wouldn't want to be in the position of explaining why I was accepting bogus routes when I have the way to reject them.
The agreement is that if you run the tool and there is a mistake in the data or the servers are not available that you won't sue ARIN for the mistake.
