Why do companies still insist on, or deploy new systems that rely on paper LOA for IP and ASN resources? How can this be considered more trustworthy than RIR based IRR records?
For routing, some have been proposing that the RPKI. There was some discussion here a few months ago: <https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2023-November/224035.html> Shortly thereafter this blog post appeared: <https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2023-November/224035.html>
And I'm not even talking about old companies, I have a situation right now where a VPS provider I'm using will no longer use IRR and only accepts new paper LOAs. In the year 2024. I don't understand how anyone can go backwards like that.
Did you ask them why or can you name the provider? John
