IRRd-Discuss

[Benjamin J. Carrasco]

Hopefully someone out there that is actively using (or developing) IRR can provide me with some assistance...

For the last few years, I have used very simple aut-num objects to define routing policies.  Recently, I decided that if I am going to continue using a routing registry, I should make an attempt to further articulate our routing policies using RPSL. In one case, I wanted to express the "aspath prepends" that we perform on routes that we announce to a specific peer.  However, email submissions of those policies fail and the errors indicate that the "aspath" attribute (among other things) is unknown to IRRd 2.1.5.  After re-reading the RFC's (specifically RFC2622), it appears that RPSL should support this attribute and other actions that I'm trying to use.  Is it possible that this is a bug in "irr_check" or a limitation in IRRd 2.1.5?  

Here are errors generated by the submission:

(the actual ASN's and prefixes have been removed to protect the innocent)
