Greetings all,
Recently, I have been working with the various Regional Internet Registries
in an effort to try to find and remove all invalid "bogon" route objects
from the respective IRR data bases of the five RIRs. These invalid "bogon"
route objects fall into two categories:
(1) route objects that refer to unassigned "bogon" IP address space, or
(2) route objects that refer to unassigned "bogon" AS numbers
At the present time there are a total of 20 such "bogon" route objects in
the LACNIC IRR data base, and they are all of type 2 --- they all refer
to valid/assigned IP address space, but they refer to AS numbers that are
invalid and that are NOT assigned to anyone. A summary of these currently
live LACNIC bogon route objects is given below:

179.61.238.0/24 203786 2021-06-16

181.215.185.0/24 203786 2021-06-16
181.215.235.0/24 203786 2021-06-16
181.215.254.0/23 203786 2021-06-16
189.127.166.0/24 260027 2021-08-01
189.127.167.0/24 260027 2021-08-01
190.2.17.0/24 23456 2021-06-16
190.210.206.0/24 23456 2021-06-16
190.210.210.0/23 1000 2021-06-16
191.96.230.0/24 203786 2021-06-16
191.96.235.0/24 203786 2021-06-16
191.101.54.0/23 50896 2021-06-16
191.101.160.0/23 203786 2021-06-16
200.46.144.0/24 263733 2021-06-16
200.68.114.0/24 23456 2021-06-16
In addition to the above summaries I am also providing the fuill text of all
20 of these bogon route objects at the end of this message.
These bogon route objects concern me for two reasons:
1) They are, by definition, invalid because they use invalid AS numbers.
2) The full text of each of these route objects (see below) always says
that the objects are "LACNIC generated". This seems to imply that
LACNIC staff is operating some sort of (buggy?) software that is
improperly generating these bogon route objects, and that the route
objects are NOT being generated by anyone manually.
If these objects are not being generated by some automated software process,
then I hope that the LACNIC staff will explain why nearly all of these
invalid route obects have the exact same last-modified date. That seems
to be more than a mere coincidence!
On the other hand, if these route objects HAVE indeed been generated by
software, and not by human beings, then perhaps the LACNIC staff will be
kind enough to explain why their software is generating artificial (and
invalid) route objects, and then inserting those invalid route objects
into the LACNIC IRR data base, even though the ASNs being referenced can
be easily shown to be invalid and unassigned.
Regardless of whether these invalid route objects have been generated by
softare or by human hands, I believe that it is only correct and proper
that these invalid route objects should be removed immediately from the
LACNIC IRR data base. After all, who wants to have garbage in that data
base? Also, removing these garbage route objects from the LACNIC IRR
data base would be consistant with what the other four RIRs have already
been doing for some time now. RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, and AFRINIC have all
been removing invalid "bogon" route objects that I have previously reported
to them. And in fact, AFRINIC currently has ZERO invalid route objects
in their data base.
I hope that LACNIC will not be the last RIR to clean up these invalid route
objects from the LACNIC IRR data base.
Regards,
rfg
