Draft Policy ARIN-2021-8: Deprecation of the ‘Autonomous System Originations’ 
Field

 

Problem Statement:

 

In the last two decades ARIN has developed multiple services which provide 
mechanisms for Internet Number Resource holders to publish information about 
their routing intentions.

 

The optional ‘OriginAS’ field was invented before RPKI existed in practice. At 
that time, ARIN’s Internet Routing Registry (IRR) followed a weak authorization 
model compared to available and in use today such as RPKI. The ‘OriginAS’ data 
was an improvement compared the other mechanisms that were available at that 
time.

 

However, there are issues with consumption of the data in the OriginAS field:

 

Consuming the ‘OriginAS’ field in a high-scale automated pipeline is 
challenging. The consumer needs to enter into a ‘Bulk Whois Data’ agreement 
with ARIN, download a multiple-gigabytes XML file (which is only generated once 
a day), parse this XML file, and then extract the OriginAS field. Querying 
objects one-by-one via the HTTPS interface does not scale well.

 

Policy statement:

 

1. Remove Section 3.5 “Autonomous System Originations” of the NRPM in its 
entirety.

2. Removal of ‘OriginAS’ field from the database

 

Timetable for Implementation:

 

1. Immediate after ARIN Board adoption.

2. December 31st 2024.

 

Policy Term: Permanent
