Amante, E. Osterweil, L. Blunk, D. Mitchell Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: December 2015 Mailbox: dmcpherson@verisign.com, amante@apple.com, eosterweil@verisign.com, ljb@merit.edu, dave@singularity.cx Pages: 18 Characters: 47996 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-grow-irr-routing-policy-considerations-06.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7682 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7682 The purpose of this document is to catalog issues that influenced the efficacy of Internet Routing Registries (IRRs) for inter-domain routing policy specification and application in the global routing system over the past two decades. Additionally, it provides a discussion regarding which of these issues are still problematic in practice, and which are simply artifacts that are no longer applicable but continue to stifle inter-provider policy-based filtering adoption and IRR utility to this day.
