DE-CIX (http://www.de-cix.net) does (see 4.4
http://www.de-cix.net/info/DE-CIX_technical_requirements.pdf). And afaik
that's also true for LINX, AMS-IX, Xchangepoint, ... Look at their policies
as well.

DE-CIX does not monitor this. However if you are using DE-CIX's routeserver
your announcements are filtered against your policy (as path lists and ip
filter lists).

hello to all

i was wondering if there were some published docs online regarding the
registration of route objects and membership at an ix - specifically,
do ixp's around the world require that their members register all of
their route objects prior to being allowed to exchange traffic at the
ix?  if so, how do you/they monitor this?  is it left up to the other
providers at the ix to verify that they are peering with someone who
registers their objects?  is this something that an ix could/should
worry about?
i know that many providers around the world are increasingly requiring
registration, and that many build their filters from these registrations,
but i have been unable to find anything wrt internet exchanges.

replies on or off, i will summarize

thanks
