Hi,
I support this clean-up of RIPE-NONAUTH IRR using information
published in the RPKI.
AT&T has been allocated 99.112.0.0/12, and we have not sub-allocated
99.122.224.0/21 to Akamai, CW-EUROPE-GSOC, AS1273, or anyone. Folks
are encouraged to use the ROA we have published for 99.112.0.0/12
authorizing origination in our as7018 in all ways that make sense,
including removing bogus / obsolete route objects from the IRR.
Thanks!
Jay B.
