Other than Sprint's global default for 0/1 (and then SPRINT has the nerve to complain when people point default at them) there is no information in the IRR about valid origin ASNs for Net 3/8.
I am a hypocrite. I have flexible opinions. However, I do not believe for an instant that Sprint actually advertised 0/1 to the people Sprint (whether you mean me, Peter or Hank by that) have complained about. (We did twice advertise 0/1 to InternetMCI and others, which was interesting in several ways.)
The problem of bogus routing has been getting worse. Is it going to take a disaster to get the attention of various provider's management?
Uhm, what does manglement have to do with reality? Do you really think there is some manager out there who is preventing people from "fixing" this problem, or who could somehow cajole her or his staff into doing a "fix"? The address registries are believed because the address registries aggregate the routability policies of the various networks participating in the Internet routing system. They are authoritative because ISPs have made them so to prevent a large amount of bilateral negotiations about what really should be routed where. The problem is not the lack of a canon, but the lack of a cannon; there is no simple means by which to enforce completely correct routing with present technology, while preserving the flexibility of timely dynamic reconfiguration of the Internet.
