Joachim, I like the idea that the maintainer of the autnum object can control the route objects created with its as number as the origin. And agree with Daniel, a notification is probably sufficient when the origins ASes are different. With respect to: Joachim Schmitz (Schmitz@rus.uni-stuttgart.de) on January 8:
* Then for route-objects the same rules apply as for inetnum-objects with respect to IP subranges: If a route-object contains a "mnt-lower" attri- bute it controls all more specific route-objects immediately below.
I disagree that this is a good idea. If I register the following route object (which actually exists): route: 128.0.0.0/1 descr: HALF-DEFAULT-ONE origin: AS1800 advisory: AS690 1:1800 2:1239 mnt-by: MAINT-AS1800 mnt-lower: MAINT-AS1800 nobody else can register any route objects.
