Routing Security: Evaluating the Need for Unauthenticated IRR Data

Explore a 31-minute NANOG conference talk examining the ongoing relevance of unauthenticated Internet Routing Registry (IRR) in today's routing security landscape. Learn about the challenges posed by stale and incorrect data in unauthenticated IRR databases, focusing specifically on ARIN allocations in RADb. Discover how outdated routing information impacts network performance and security, potentially leading to traffic inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities. Examine the relationship between IRR and Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), understanding why RPKI adoption rates currently prevent complete IRR replacement. Join Aftab Siddiqui, Senior Internet Technology Manager at the Internet Society and MANRS initiative leader, as he presents data-driven insights and facilitates a discussion on collective solutions to improve routing security practices.
