[arin-tech-discuss] Easy way to check if a block is legacy?

Just to offer a little more information:

When organizations sign up for RPKI, they have the option to leave some of their resources out of the certification even if those resources are covered by an (L)RSA. For ROA scripting purposes, there is no easy way to determine if a resource is covered via our RESTful services. The only programmatic way to make that determination is to consult the RPKI itself by looking at the RFC 3779 extensions of the certificates in the repository.

However, both RPKI certification and (L)RSA coverage are viewable in ARIN Online.

Hi John,

Is there a way to know which blocks that were legacy assignments are now covered by (L)RSA?
I'm assuming that if they have an (L)RSA, they may be candidates for associated ROAs.

Thanks,
Tony

Aaron -

An address block is legacy in origin if issued prior to ARIN's inception
on December 22, 1997.  Legacy address blocks may subsequently be covered
by an RSA or LRSA agreement, so scripting specifically on being issued
prior to ARIN's inception may to be fruitful.
