Description

The current RPKI framework using ROAs only works to validate route origination.
IP Transit providers will implement filters governing which routes can be propagated based on information from the IRRs (Internet Routing Registries) - in our region the RIPE DB.

This is a real life example of manipulation to the RIPE DB, which could have enabled a BGP Hijack to bypass transit provider filters and Route Origin Validation (ROV).

Was this a prelude to a BGP Hijack or a simple mistake? You be the judge.
