[arin-ppml] [EXT] Re: Open Petition for ARIN-prop-266: BGP Hijacking is an ARIN Policy Violation

[Carlos Friaças]

Hi,

It's not really an issue about the "global routing system".

If an hijacker has a set of "target networks" and finds all of them in the 
same NAP/IXP, he just needs to join and inject the hijacks through the 
NAP/IXP, without any upstream involved.

The problem here is effective use of other people's resources without 
proper autorization from the owner. If someone (outside the routing plane) 
tries to sell/transfer a block it doesn't hold, that can also be 
considered as an hijack, right?

Regards,
Carlos

We cannot provide a right to ?use within the global routing system? without our customers first agreeing to contractual responsibilities that do not presently exist (as ARIN has no control over the global routing system.)
