[db-wg] RDAP Conformance Level "cidr0"

Dear Benjamin,

The “origin as” as observed via ARIN RDAP is a difficult-to-use relic from
the past. The concept of “Autonomous System Originations” pre-dates IRR and
RPKI. It was the best possible solution at that time; but since then
superior solutions became available.

I submitted a policy proposal to deprecate this functionality in full:
https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/drafts/2021_8/

Perhaps a different approach applicable to your objectives is to merge RDAP
information with RPKI derived information (both in JSON format). Through
this path one can achieve both a more fine-grained granularity (RPKI ROAs
can be configured at routing boundaries, rather than assignment
boundaries), and have greater assurances the information was produced by
the Internet Number Resource holder.

A frequently updated JSON formatted view on the RPKI can be found here:
https://console.rpki-client.org/vrps.json (this kind of file can also be
produced by installing an RPKI validator on your own infrastructure).

Kind regards,

Job
