remarks:        We share the view that for many networks ( including ours:-) )
remarks:        only some abstraction of the actual routing policy should/can
remarks:        be published in the IRR.
remarks:        Right now we are abstracting to a very essential minimum.
remarks:        the most important and helpful use of the IRR is
remarks:        to publish what a network will announce to peers and upstream
remarks:        we are providing that by means of the AS-set AS8315:AS-WORLDSTREAM
remarks:        which we have been keeping up to date all the time
remarks:        we encourage all our neighbors to define and maintain an
remarks:        AS-set to describe their announcements, and to register
remarks:        all the routes (and have their customers do so as well)
import:         from AS-ANY accept ANY # heavy abstraction hits! well, we are ... neither peering promiscuously nor accepting all junk routes offered...
remarks:        we maintain a list of what our neighbors have told us
remarks:        about their announcements towards AS8315 - in terms of
remarks:        AS-set (preferred), AS number, route-set
remarks:        (and the IRR database used to publish)
remarks:        in fact we apply route filters based on this
remarks:        for all neighbors - as far as feasible
remarks:        for data published through the RIPE routing registry
remarks:        we generate filters automatically
remarks:        we consider the integration of RIR and routing registry data
remarks:        and the application of RPSS authorization a great feature
remarks:        of the RIPE routing registry
remarks:        unfortunately this benefit is not available with any
remarks:        other IRR database that we know of...
remarks:        and some of the IRR databases allow essentially any garbage
remarks:        to be registered without any control - making those databases
remarks:        quite useless...
export:         to AS8315:AS-ACNBB announce ANY # but don't publish that list; in general - if they ask for less, we can do
export:         to AS-ANY announce AS8315:AS-ACNBB # New AS SET
remarks:        customers are strongly encouraged to define and maintain
remarks:        an AS-set that we will include in the definition
remarks:        of AS8315:AS-ACNBB (if we are told the name)
remarks:        this will be sufficient to have our peers accept the routes
remarks:        in any case peers - and any network in the Internet -
remarks:        is free to apply some selective policy (e.g. prefix
remarks:        length based)
remarks:        but we do not think that any such selective policy
remarks:        will be based on details of our routing policy omitted
remarks:        from this aut-num: object
remarks:        unfortunately some customers do not provide usable IRR data;
remarks:        we will NOT add to the uncontrolled garbage in the IRR by
remarks:        proxy registering in some database that requires no
remarks:        authorization
remarks:        we advise customers that routes without IRR registration
remarks:        and not covered by AS8315:AS-ACNBB may receive less than
remarks:        full support by some of our peer networks and other
remarks:        parts of the Internet
remarks:        ==============================================================
remarks:        IPv6 we do/publish essentially the same like for IPv4
mp-import:      afi ipv6.unicast from AS-ANY accept ANY # heavy abstraction... neither peering promiscuously nor accepting all junk routes offered...
mp-export:      afi ipv6.unicast to AS8315:AS-ACNBB announce ANY # but don't publish that list; in general - if they ask for less, we can do
mp-export:      afi ipv6.unicast to AS-ANY announce AS8315:AS-ACNBB # for peers and others...
