Hi Graham,

Maybe your ASN is not a virgin ASN, someone used it.

You should notify every object's former owner or the current maintainer to 
remove it, or contact RADb or ARIN to help you remove them. But I think that 
RADb was easier to use than ARIN before, the current version of RADb is not 
user-friendly.

Regards,

David

Hi,

I'm in the middle of transitioning all of my IRR data from RADb to ARIN and as 
part of this I am trying to get old stale IRR data cleaned up that other 
providers have put in place in the past.  While doing this I was using the 
nlnog IRR explorer website and found that a company that I peer with on a 
public exchange has my ASN listed in an as-macro that they control. The way the 
as-macro is named I am reasonably confident that they aren't using it for 
transit related activity, rather they are likely using it for controlling 
peering activity and filtering on the IX in question. Part of me is okay with 
this, but given that I've never seen this behavior from any other provider on 
the three reasonably large exchanges that we participate on I am curious what 
the community thinks about this. Is this uncommon but acceptable in the eyes of 
community?

Thanks,
Graham
