What to fix

  1. Warning

    10 of 148 announced prefixes have no ROA (RPKI not found): 102.213.169.0/24, 102.223.76.0/24, 102.223.77.0/24, 102.223.78.0/24, 102.223.79.0/24 (+5).

    Without a ROA, networks cannot tell your routes from a hijack.

    Fix: Create a ROA for each at your RIR portal, with origin AS36994 and a max length equal to the prefix length:

    102.213.169.0/24 AS36994 max-length /24
102.223.76.0/24 AS36994 max-length /24
102.223.77.0/24 AS36994 max-length /24
102.223.78.0/24 AS36994 max-length /24
102.223.79.0/24 AS36994 max-length /24
105.255.0.0/17 AS36994 max-length /17

196.4.32.0/22 AS36994 max-length /22

  2. Warning

    73 of 148 announced prefixes have no IRR route object: 196.4.146.0/24, 41.0.208.0/22, 105.242.224.0/20, 105.242.80.0/20, 41.21.150.0/23 (+68).

    Many networks build their prefix filters from IRR data; without route objects some of them drop the routes.

    Fix: Create route (IPv4) and route6 (IPv6) objects with origin AS36994 in your RIR’s IRR database (or RADB).

    route: 196.4.146.0/24
origin: AS36994

route: 41.0.208.0/22
origin: AS36994

route: 105.242.224.0/20
origin: AS36994

  3. Warning

    No abuse contact is published for AS36994.

    Other networks send reports of spam, attacks and hacked machines to the abuse contact. Without one, reports go nowhere and blocklists may list the whole range.

    Fix: Add an abuse contact to the registration: abuse-c in the RIPE database, an Abuse POC at ARIN, an abuse mailbox (IRT) at APNIC, AFRINIC or LACNIC.

  4. Warning

    No public NOC, policy or technical contact.

    Other networks use these addresses to set up peering and to reach you during an incident.

    Fix: Add a role contact (for example noc@ or peering@ an address you monitor) with visibility Public.
