“…An Internet Routing Registry (IRR) is a database containing Internet routing information, described using Routing Policy Specification Language objects as described in RFC 4012 [10]. Network administrators are given privileges to describe routing policies of their own networks in the IRR, and that information is published, usually publicly.…”

“…As of Feb. 1st, 2013, the IRR consists of 34 routing registries (RRs) mostly maintained by either RIRs 3 , national [2]. The RPSL defines several kinds of objects, most of which can be classified into three groups: (i) inetnum or inet6num objects describe IPv4 or IPv6 address allocation, (ii) route, route6, aut-num, route-set, as-set objects describe the routing policies, and (iii) mntner, person, and role objects describe who administers the routing policies and so on.…”

The IRR is a set of globally distributed databases with which ASes can register their routing and address-related information. It is often believed that the quality of the IRR data is not reliable since there are few economic incentives for ASes to register and update their routing information in a timely manner. To validate these negative beliefs, we carry out a comprehensive analysis of (IP prefix, its origin AS) pairs in BGP against the corresponding information registered with the IRR, and vice versa. Considering the IRR and BGP practices, we propose a methodology to match the (IP prefix, origin AS) pairs between those two datasets. We observe that the practice of registering IP prefixes and origin ASes with the IRR is prevalent, though the quality of the IRR data varies substantially depending on routing registries, regional Internet registries (to which ASes belong), and AS types. The IRR can help improve the security level of BGP routing by making BGP routers selectively rely on the corresponding IRR data considering these observations.

The deployment of new IP connectivity typically results in intermittent reachability for numerous reasons that are outside the scope of this document. In order to aid in the debugging of these persistent problems, this document proposes the creation of a new Routing Policy Specification Language attribute that allows a network to advertise an IP address that is reachable and can be used as a target for diagnostic tests (e.g., pings
