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

Fri May 3 15:40:25 EDT 2019

Now there is a constructive suggestion that I can easily support; create a
system that monitors routing and actively notifies you when your routing
doesn't conform to your published routing policy.  There are and have been
services that kind of do that, BGPmon, etc... But, they were more focused
on detecting other people announcing your space, and they didn't check
against IRR data, some of them have started to do RPKI though.

However, is ARIN or the other RIRs the place to do that? Maybe. But, even
if ARIN is the place to do that, the path for that is the ACSP, not the PDP.

Thanks
