 Blake,
   If you find that an RADb maintainer is unresponsive about removing
stale/incorrect objects in the RADb, we will review your request
and can remove the objects in question.

Can someone provide a little guidance on RADb (and other IRRs)?

Our organization is not a customer of any IRRs, but our ARIN IP
allocation is registered in RADb and Level3's IRR. The majority of these
entries are incorrect and list other AS#'s (AS's that have never been
authorized to announce this IP space) as the originating AS for our ARIN
IP allocation.

I have emailed Level3 about the incorrect entries in their IRR with no
response. I have also emailed Cogent about their incorrect entry in
RADb, also with no response.

Should I be concerned about these entries? Do these entries give someone
the ability to announce our IP space? How is the information in these
databases checked for accuracy and why did RADb and Level3 put these
entries in their database when the posting party was not authorized to
announce this space? And finally, what can be done to correct or remove
these entries (as a non-customer of either RADb or Level3)?

Thanks in advance,
--Blake
