Hi,

It's not really an issue about the "global routing system".

If an hijacker has a set of "target networks" and finds all of them in the same NAP/IXP, he just needs to join and inject the hijacks through the NAP/IXP, without any upstream involved.

The problem here is effective use of other people's resources without proper autorization from the owner. If someone (outside the routing plane) tries to sell/transfer a block it doesn't hold, that can also be considered as an hijack, right?

Regards,
Carlos

I think this is part of the reason it has been declared out-of-scope. The 
misunderstanding about ?speaking of routing?. Is not the case, we are speaking 
about members should respect the exclusive right of use of other members. 
Hijacking with BGP is only the mean to break that right.

Jordi -

That ?right of use? you reference is a ?right of use within the registry?, at 
least with respect to ARIN.   We cannot provide a right to ?use within the 
global routing system? without our customers first agreeing to contractual 
responsibilities that do not presently exist (as ARIN has no control over the 
global routing system.)

Thanks!
