And that will do what exactly?
Back when I worked at an RIR, a prefix was "misplaced". When I =
contacted the (country monopoly PTT) ISP and told them the prefix had =
been removed from APNIC's database and should not be routed. Their =
response was "We have a contract with the customer for connectivity. We =
do not have a contract with you." and I was encouraged to get the =
customer to voluntarily withdraw the prefix.
If BGPSEC+RPKI were deployed, there might be something active the RIRs =
could do. However, this has its own implications regarding centralized =
control of the routing system (as discussed, ironically enough, in the =
RIPE region). And this is going to get much more 'interesting' as the =
IPv4 free pool exhausts and the market moves from black to grey or =
white. Fun times ahead.
