Is there a good source to explain the whole RADB "system", and tools/processes people use to maintain routing policies/filters based on it? I'd like to both review and make sure my current understanding is accurate, and have a doc to send people to.
It is the IRR system. You want to read up on http://www.irr.net/ and the various RPSL docs (RFC2622, RFC2650, and related). Choice of a registry to use will dictate your toolset; someone already noted auth method limitations, but some will support more elements of the language or extend with local needs. If you are large ehough that the time investment makes sense, you can just run your own routing registry and be free of those limitations. Local-use tools of interest would include ease-of-driving your updates with your selected registry [irrpt (http://sourceforge.net/projects/irrpt/)] and the recent updates to IRRToolset (http://irrtoolset.isc.org/ - see http://www.uknof.org.uk/uknof12/Kerr-IRRtoolset.pdf).
