You have to look up the Internet Routing Registry (IRR) to check if the route is contained in the AS-SET of the customer, check that the amount of routes announced is coherent (especially if the AS-SET contain another AS-SET that import the whole DFZ), and last but not least, check if the customer wants to be re-announced through the route server (RS).

The overhead of generating, deploying, and maintaining prefix filters for BGP edge filtering is high. It also places financial and operation costs on edge routers. Meanwhile, ROA coverage has been steadily growing for years. When can networks remove this overhead and simplify their operations, by removing prefix filtering completely?
In this talk, data from various sources is pulled together to show that we have already reached the point in time when we can finally stop deploying IRR derived pr…
InterLAN IX wanted a member self-service portal with every network change checked, reversible and recorded on a network running Nokia SR OS routers and Arista EOS switches together.
This talk explains the choices behind it. One request touches several routers, each with its own previewed configuration, a rollback timer and confirmation one router at a time; when safe recovery cannot be proven, a human takes over. The database owns intended state, so hand-made device changes surface as deviation…
Brief update on the pdbfe project - building a globally distributed peeringdb mirror
Leo Vegoda, PeeringDB
Andy Clyde, The Internet Society
Aaron Hughes
Matt Parker
James Bensely (Inter.Link), Andy Clyde (ISOC, Pulse), and Aaron Hughes (6Connect) will discuss PeeringDB's draft spec for a new API. It's designed to be served from multiple locations, support incremental sync, daily snapshots, and new efficient queries, like an exchange with its members. Matt Parker will be moderating the panel.
