But only then. Only IRRs where the IP address allocation is tied
together with route registration protection, IRR route registration
data is trustable "enough" for filtering purposes. As far as I know,
this is the case only for the RIPE database today.
What can I trust RADB when everyone (with access) can add arbitrary
route objects for netblocks they don't own? This helps only (at best)
against fat-finger-jobs.
