IRR Compliance Audit & Route Object Validation
Maintaining accurate Internet Routing Registry records is no longer optional — IXPs and transit providers increasingly reject routes that lack proper IRR objects, and MANRS compliance demands verifiable registry hygiene. RoutePulse continuously audits your live BGP routing table against IRR databases, surfacing unregistered prefixes, origin AS mismatches, and stale route objects before they cause peering rejections or compliance failures. For network operators managing thousands of prefixes, this automated validation eliminates hours of manual registry cross-referencing and ensures your routing posture remains clean and trustworthy.
The audit engine integrates with the RIPE REST DB API for multi-registry lookups spanning RIPE, RADB, APNIC, ARIN, and AFRINIC, auditing over 1.28 million prefixes in real time. Each prefix is cross-referenced against its RPKI ROA validation status alongside IRR records, providing a comprehensive compliance view that identifies inconsistencies across both validation layers. Compliance scoring is calculated per AS with drill-down capability into specific prefix discrepancies, making it straightforward to prioritize cleanup tasks. The system also detects orphaned and stale route objects that should be removed, helping operators maintain registry accuracy as their networks evolve. Working alongside RPKI and ASPA validation, the IRR audit module forms a critical layer in RoutePulse’s multi-layer routing security architecture.
