Hi,
I recently ran across a situation where a large ISP only accepts IRR entries generated by RADB to build their path filters. I use the ARIN Routing Registry. Is this a common practice? Should I convert over to RADB?
Thanks, Craig
use of a single RR has almost never been a good idea... not since RIPE first split out of the RABD, 13 years ago. that said, several of the RIR's are planning/testing a new suite of tools to do crypto-authentication of route objects (the IETF SIDR work). APNIC might be in beta as early as this year and I think ARIN will be doing some trial work in 2h09. ostensibly, this will be a much stronger toolset on which to base route accuracy/acceptance. You might want to ask about it at the upcoming ARIN mtg in LA... Its right after the NANOG mtg. --bill
