Learning Resource for IRR to RPKI

Hello NANOG community,

In the many years that I’ve been doing this line of work, I’ve actually never had to deal with the public registry side of the job (I’ve always seem to walk into an established environment). I’m struggling to get up to speed quickly, as I must integrate additional AS’s into my own and our upstreams are no longer utilizing filter lists to accommodate the IP blocks being added. I’m being prompted to create route objects or establish an AS set with ours and our peers’ ASNs.

I’m sure that there’s an easy button out there for getting this week’s work done, but I want to learn more about the system in general, but I’m having trouble putting my thumb on the right place to look for learning.

Any help you can provide, I would appreciate it!

Regards,

Eric

If you live in the ARIN region, would be good to find out from them when they plan to carry out workshops on IRR and RPKI. There are several sources online where you can find presentations about this, but it may be a bit hard to appreciate if you’re reading it on your own with no previous experience. Mark.

I don’t manage big networks, but Cloudflare just published some related content today I found useful.

Hi Eric,

I try to cover every aspect of RPKI on https://rpki.readthedocs.io.

It also covers the basics of IP address allocation, how IRR fits into the ecosystem and provides an overview of all the tooling that is available for RPKI.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Eric,

RIPE NCC has a bunch of webinars, one of them covers the IRR (a bit RIPE Database focussed) https://www.ripe.net/support/training/webinars/webinar-recordings/webinar-internet-routing-registry and another one covers RPKI https://www.ripe.net/support/training/webinars/webinar-recordings/webinar-resource-certification-rpki

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Nathalie

+1 here - these are very informative and easy to follow. Grant they're
pretty ripedb focused but are excellent and should give you all you need
to get started and look for the equivalent ways to achieve same in ARIN
as required.
