It is the IRR system. You want to read up on http://www.irr.net/ and
the various RPSL docs (RFC2622, RFC2650, and related). Choice of a
registry to use will dictate your toolset; someone already noted auth
method limitations, but some will support more elements of the language
or extend with local needs. If you are large ehough that the time
investment makes sense, you can just run your own routing registry
and be free of those limitations.
Local-use tools of interest would include ease-of-driving your updates
with your selected registry [irrpt (http://sourceforge.net/projects/irrpt/)]
and the recent updates to IRRToolset (http://irrtoolset.isc.org/ -
see http://www.uknof.org.uk/uknof12/Kerr-IRRtoolset.pdf).
Cheers!
