Internet Routing Registry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internet Routing Registry (IRR) is a database of Internet route objects for determining, and sharing route and related information used for configuring routers, with a view to avoiding problematic issues between Internet service providers.
The Internet routing registry works by providing an interlinked object hierarchy of objects designed to facilitate the organization of IP routing between organizations, and also provide data in an appropriate format to optionally automatically program routers. Network engineers from participating organizations are authorized to modify the Route Policy Specification Language (RPSL) objects, in the registry, for their own networks. Then, any network engineer, or member of the public, is able to query the route registry for particular information of interest.
