NWI-3 - Afrinic IRR Homing --------
In recent years Afrinic set up an IRR instance that enforces authorisation for ROUTE(6) objects at rr.afrinic.net
And while the general problem of out-of-region ROUTE(6) and AUT-NUM objects in the RIPE Database IRR, and the problem where the prefix and the ASN belong to different regions is not trivial to resolve, there seems to be a general consensus that simple cases where ROUTE(6) objects have both an ASN and prefix in Afrinic (~34k objects), should appear in the Afrinic IRR where authorisation can be done and not in the RIPE DB.
Hello NCC DB WG, Just a note to mention that AFRINIC supports this as a valid problem statement and is looking forward to working with you on the solution phase. Cheers, Daniel
