Hello all,
In 2018 I requested and received a /24 allocation and permission to announce it via BGP.
My ISP/NSP, MonkeyBrains.net, very graciously agreed to route it to my house as part of my
normal residential service. (Quite amazing!)
Now, however, they’ve sent me an unusual request (but they are excited about it): can I
please setup RPKI for my IP allocation, authorizing them (MonkeyBrains) permission to
advertise the block? Full quote below:
Hi Jermy,
We advertise a /24 for AMPRNET. Please setup a ROA record on ARIN authorizing us to
advertise that block. (We just learned how to do this for our IPs yesterday and are
exctied about RPKI.
If you haven't set up RPKI for your IP allocations, here are the steps in a
nutshell:
create SSL key
upload to ARIN
Create ROA (image below)
Thanks,
Rudy
HOW-TO on ARIN:

I don’t think this is going to work as I don’t _OWN_ my block. It is licensed to me for a
5 year period. As such, there’s no record of my allocation with ARIN, and hence, nothing
that I can assign.
Do any of you network gurus have a sufficiently technically advanced response I can give
the ISP for their request?
