Might it be possible for AMPRNet users to use ARDC's ARIN accounts to list some "inetnum" IRR data for our prefixes? Depending on the outcome, maybe this would be some useful information to list on the FAQ in the Wiki.

Hi, Le 19/06/2019 02:01, Brian Kantor a crit : Would it be helpful and/or needed for any of us ? Could someone explain further the consequences of not having such a record ? Why does it currently work without those records ? Thank you in advance. 73 de TK1BI

Le 19/06/2019 à 14:51, Brian Kantor a écrit : Thank you for your answer. For now, we are using Vultr (via a VPS hosted in Paris, and a GRE tunnel to Corsica). And we didn't notice any problem about that. Anyway, as I'm planning to expand my local data center capabilities, I'm negociating with a new French operator, so that it can manage BGP announcement for us, and deliver 44.x traffic directly on our fiber router here in Ajaccio, for just a few bucks more. Thank you for making us aware about that. I'll ask if they need this IRR object or not. 73 de TK1BI _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)mailman.ampr.org https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/listinfo/44net
