Hey all, the number of participants peering with the route-servers is
growing, but I'm noticing that many do not have some or all of their
routes registered in an IRRDB like RADB or ARIN. If they are not
registered, the route-server will not pass them on to other peers. If
someone else has RPKI registered a network you are announcing
unauthorized, it will also drop these routes.
If you go to the looking glass page at:
https://ixp.slix.net/lg
You can select between IPv4 and IPv6 routers and then look at the view
the routers have of your peer. The route-collectors simply takes routes
in and doesn't export anything, so you can feel free to experiment with it.
The routes with a black triangle with an exclamation point are being
filtered. If you click on the DETAILS button to the right, you can see
why.
In addition to IRRDB, RPKI is checked, which I also recommend that
everyone look into, as more and more networks are RPKI filtering. If
you're paying ARIN for services right now, you can most likely use their
IRRDB and RPKI registries for no additional charge. Otherwise, radb.net
is good for IRRDB entries as well.
