[arin-discuss] For legacy holders concerned about the RSA requirement for new ARIN IRR and RPKI

[Rob Seastrom]

I’d like to add a bit to Owen’s recommendation of ALTDB, speaking as one who was an early adopter of ALTDB almost 20 years ago and has used it continuously since…

ALTDB is free as in beer.  No support contract, no help desk.  If this is your first time at this rodeo it’s probably not for you (it might be, but only you can be the judge of that).  If the cultural climate at your organization is the kind that favors RHEL over CentOS because of the support contract angle, likewise, it’s probably not for you.

If you’re a past master of RPSL and have been doing this for ages, ALTDB is a good solutiont if you want IRR services for $0.00.

If the specific problem is “RIR contract” as opposed to “cost”, there’s always https://www.radb.net <https://www.radb.net/>

The FCIX whitepaper is quite well done and is a worthwhile read for anyone who’s emailing RPSL templates around regardless of where one is sending them.
