<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can see there are some routes registered in RIPE for prefixes under administration of different RIRs. For example<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/lookup.html?source=ripe&key=23.59.96.0/20AS20940&type=route">https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/lookup.html?source=ripe&key=23.59.96.0/20AS20940&type=route</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 23/8 is an Arin address space.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering what is the recommended approach for registering routes related to non-RIPE prefixes:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-to register them only in RIPE (because of the security mechanisms implemented for RIPE database objects?),
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-to register them in both RIPE and appropriate (according to IANA
<a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml">
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml</a>) RIR (probably not because of extra effort required and the risk of data inconsistency)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-or register only in the RIR appropriate to the IANA address space and not to register in RIPE<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BTW I recently started using <a href="http://irrexplorer.nlnog.net">
http://irrexplorer.nlnog.net</a> and according to its logic route registered in RIPE for non RIPE prefix is OK (not perfect, but OK - displayed with green label).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are there any other tools that help to verify whois/irr data accuracy?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rafa�<o:p></o:p></p>
