Campaign for Real Routeing

We invite ISPs to sign up to the following declaration:

We recognise the risks to our Internet customers from the propagation of inaccurate Internet routes over the BGP protocol, but -- at the present time -- inaccurate data in the routeing registries prevents us from reliably detecting when errors are occurring:

We therefore commit ourselves to:

1. publishing accurate and complete data in the routeing registries regarding the IP address space used by ourselves and our customers;
2. encouraging others to view this data as being accurate and complete, and using this to detect and block routeing announcements which are inconsistent with this data;
3. treating the data published by the co-signers of this declaration as accurate and complete, and detecting and blocking announcements of their routes which are inconsistent with this data;
4. communicating promptly with others when their routeing data does not appear to be accurate and complete, with a view to resolving these issues without undue delay;
5. developing tools and documentation for use by the wider community in improving the accuracy and completeness of routeing data, and for detecting and blocking inconsistent announcements.
