Dear colleagues,

During current RIPE meeting I have presented my report about verification of route policy from registries with deeper analysis for RIPE database. I analysed the customer to provider relations because of its global visibility. The result are fearful: 60% of link completeness, less than half of this amount have information about Pref values and again most of pref values have errors. As a result there is only 10% likelihood to find real priorities using this dataset. The community must decide how to change this situation. In my opinion there are only two ways to overcome this problem: verify this data or delete at all.

All our data is available on our website. The collected data is based on imitation mathematical model with use of AS paths recovered from BGP views and novel active verification abilities that could detect priorities on every level of BGP decision making process. We are eager for collaboration and eager to help RIPE Stats or RIPE DB to verify policy data, highlight errors and give other aggregated data if community decides that it is needed.
