IRR questions: How do most large networks maintain (automate) their IRR records? Is it standard practice to accept more specifics (append IPv4 "le /24" and IPv6 "le /48")? Or is it expected to have one IRR route per BGP announcement?
We (37271) use different policies depending on our relationship to the neighbor. From customers, we require an exactly matching route(6) object. From peers, we accept more specifics up to /24 or /48. The rationale for this is: 1. We consider that we have a higher "duty of care" with respect to routes that we intend to announce to the wider Internet; and 2. Having a customer facing policy that is at least as strict as our strictest neighbor helps eliminate hard to troubleshoot propagation issues. We've been doing things this way for several years now, and it seems to be a good middle ground. Cheers, Ben
