A few months ago, when establishing a new peering relationship I was encouraged (actually required) to utilize one of the IRRs. I took the time to register all of my routes, ASNs, etc. However, as I learned today, this was probably done in vain. Too many people won't spend the extra 30-seconds to verify the information listed there or in ARINs WHOIS.
It's amazing isn't it. It isn't only fraud and maliciousness that this prevents. A number of times I have been asked to advertise space or open filters for space based on typos and people not understanding address notation and CIDR. So it's with doing if only to prevent this. -- Leigh ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
