[ixpmanager] IRR updating issue with BGPQ3

[Paul Emmons]

Agreed, but here is a deeper issue that is happening that I can show 
using actual participants.   Member uses ARIN as their IRR - very high 
quality IRR and that member doesn't have any down streams. Member B 
provides downstream to A but Member B just uses their AUTNUM and not an 
AS-SET for Member A.  Member B has their AS-SET as RADB (not the worst 
but they do refuse to remove proxy routes that don't exist).  Member A's 
prefixes are filtered out of Member B's announcements in the route 
servers.  (Member A still has connectivity on the exchange.  But what 
happens if Member A's IX circuit goes down or if Member A isn't on the 
exchange?

It is probably more of an issue of training member B not to use AUTNUMs 
for down streams.  Maybe some form of reporting would be helpful.  (I 
always start at the IX looking glass).

Thanks for the reply!
