RE: Issue AS and Subnet Announcment on BGP - Conflict with a major TelCO - 30h+ of route flapping unresolved

Normally I'm rather loathe to send urls around - but in this case you may find this APNIC work directly relevant to what you are asking for:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-51/presentations/pdf/ripe51-address-certificate.pdf

I also did some work a year or so back on the differences between announced vs allocated prefixes.

http://www.potaroo.net/presentations/2004-05-01-allocation-vs-announcement.pdf

At the time (May 2004) it appeared that the message was getting through and the fragmentation of allocations was decreasing. I have not re-reun the scripts recently to confirm if this is wtill the case.

regards,

Geoff

Maybe they should?

Or at least provide a database that is signed so that people can check
what is getting announced vs what was really allocated at least off
line.

        ARIN will not step in here.  They allocate resources, they do
not police or enforce those resources.
