<div dir="ltr">When Andrew and I were in the NOC at Internap (quite awhile ago now), we would create RADB and CWRR objects for customers who didn't do so themselves when accepting a new route from them (to make sure our transit providers who used IRRs would accept it). Occasionally we would get a request from a customer or former customer who wanted us to delete the proxy-registered object so they could create their own, which we of course did. But most of them, once created, probably never got removed. If someone is interested, you could go see how many objects still exist with <a href="mailto:sleibrand@internap.com">sleibrand@internap.com</a> on them. ;-)<div><br></div><div>-Scott</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 8:02 AM, Andrew Dul <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew.dul@quark.net" target="_blank">andrew.dul@quark.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 4/1/2015 7:47 AM, John Curran wrote:<br>

</span>I haven't seen it cause a problem, but I guess it could in some cases.<br>
Usually it just creates cruft. Although for some customers who have<br>
their own AS the old crufty record still has their origin AS and thus<br>
ends up working fine once, especially if the new provider adds that AS<br>
to their AS-SET.<br>
