Re: RIPE IRR route-object limit

[Martin Stanislav ms@localhost]

Hi Mostafa Ali, 

there isn't any common limit (aka fixed number) for a number 
of route objects an ISP can maintain/introduce in the RIPE DB.  
To be precise, there is a limited IP and AS resource pool and
a limited number of integral pieces IP resource pool can be 
sliced into that makes for a limited number of IP range + 
AS number combinations.  
However, one has to pass a few checks to successfully create 
a new or modify an existing route object: 
 http://www.ripe.net/info/faq/db/route-creation-checks.html
 http://www.ripe.net/info/faq/db/main.html#13

There is also a couple of route object related questions within 
an ISP FAQ: 
 http://www.ripe.net/info/faq/rs/isp.html

Keep in mind it's a good practise to aggregate route objects 
if possible (same AS origin and neighboring IP address space 
within power of two bounds) so as not to impose unnecessary 
burden on the routing table size. 

Best regards, 

Martin Stanislav
