IPv6 doc. prefix (2001:db8::/32) - APNIC object ?
Just did a whois on the documentation prefix and was surprised to see what looks like a user object registered for it: % Information related to '2001:0DB8::/32AS132111' route6: 2001:0DB8::/32 descr: FUTURE D SDN BHD origin: AS132111 country: MY mnt-by: MAINT-FUTUREDSDNBHD-MY changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20160523 source: APNIC Any idea what this is ? I would have thought there might be some sanity check that would have stopped this from getting registered ? -- Brandon Applegate - CCIE 10273 PGP Key fingerprint: 830B 4802 1DD4 F4F9 63FE B966 C0A7 189E 9EC0 3A74 "SH1-0151. This is the serial number, of our orbital gun."

Hi, If you look for TEST-NET-3, it is also registered to APNIC: alarig@pikachu ~ % whois 203.0.113.1 % [whois.apnic.net] % Whois data copyright terms http://www.apnic.net/db/dbcopyright.html % Information related to '203.0.113.0 - 203.0.113.255' inetnum: 203.0.113.0 - 203.0.113.255 netname: TEST-NET-3 descr: IANA descr: RFC5737 Documentation Address Block country: AU admin-c: HM20-AP tech-c: HM20-AP mnt-by: APNIC-HM mnt-routes: APNIC-HM status: ASSIGNED PORTABLE remarks: -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ remarks: This block is reserved for use in documentation and remarks: should not be used in any real networks. remarks: Please see more details at remarks: http://www.iana.org/go/rfc5737 remarks: -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ source: APNIC mnt-irt: IRT-APNICRANDNET-AU changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20100617 irt: IRT-APNICRANDNET-AU address: PO Box 3646 address: South Brisbane, QLD 4101 address: Australia e-mail: abuse@apnic.net abuse-mailbox: abuse@apnic.net admin-c: AR302-AP tech-c: AR302-AP auth: # Filtered mnt-by: MAINT-AU-APNIC-GM85-AP changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20110922 source: APNIC role: APNIC Hostmaster address: 6 Cordelia Street address: South Brisbane address: QLD 4101 country: AU phone: +61 7 3858 3100 fax-no: +61 7 3858 3199 e-mail: helpdesk@apnic.net admin-c: AMS11-AP tech-c: AH256-AP nic-hdl: HM20-AP remarks: Administrator for APNIC notify: hostmaster@apnic.net mnt-by: MAINT-APNIC-AP changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 19981111 changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20020211 changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20070612 changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20100217 changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20101217 changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20110815 changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20121024 changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20131023 source: APNIC % This query was served by the APNIC Whois Service version 1.69.1-APNICv1r0 (UNDEFINED) As long as APNIC is a RIR, I don’t see a big issue with that. -- alarig

Hi,
If you look for TEST-NET-3, it is also registered to APNIC: [snip]
As long as APNIC is a RIR, I don’t see a big issue with that.
Don't confuse an 'inetnum' and a 'route' object. Inetnum's are fine, as long as their documented purpose is correct. The route object the OP mentioned makes no sense. AS132111 is not authorised to announce the IPv6 Documentation prefix. Kind regards, Job

This registration is an error, and APNIC should remove it. It would be good if IRRs ensure that special IANA prefixes cannot be registered. The URL in the inetnum is broken: Vurt:~ job$ whois 2001:0DB8::/32 | grep remarks remarks: This address range is to be used for documentation remarks: purpose only. For more information please see remarks: http://www.apnic.net/info/faq/ipv6-documentation-prefix-faq.html Kind regards, Job

Open a ticket with APNIC to get it fixed.
