Re: authorization problem with route object

[Engin Gunduz engin@localhost]

Dear Babak,

Please see http://www.ripe.net/faq/database/qa4.html#5
for a graphical representation of route object creation
rules.

"mnt-routes:" attribute was invented to solve this kind
of problems. Suppose you would like to create a route
object with MNT-CCC, and the origin aut-num object has
"mnt-by: MNT-AAA" and the relevant inetnum object has
"mnt-by: MNT-BBB". How do you create the route object?

First, you must contact the owners of the aut-num object
and the inetnum object and have them put your mntner in
their objects in "mnt-routes:" attribute. Once the inetnum
and aut-num have "mnt-routes: MNT-CCC", you can go ahead and
create your route object with your mntner MNT-CCC.

Of course, there are many other combinations, but this
is the general idea.

I hope this helps.
