This is exactly why we (lacnic) won’t spin up a new IRR. We’ll
just provide the convenience of generating the RPSL, plus adding what
appears to be the missing feature of AS-SETs
my poor second party understanding is that they want irr as well as
rpki, real irr, not cross-generated, and intend to mash them together
with other things to form their border trust.
as-sets in the irr are cool; use ‘em daily.
as-sets in the rpki (or whatever they are called this week), i still
do not understand. what is the trust model? if someone is signing
an as-set, with what do they sign it, and to what are they actually
attesting? since one usually uses the transitive closure of an as-set,
and that changes quite frequently, any attestation is bogus.
