As Internet backbone connectivity becomes more complex, it has increasingly become more difficult to keep track of peering policies between providers and customers.
The Internet Routing Registry (IRR) is an evolving network database of Internet registered routes and routing policies. By specifying routing details using Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL), IRR providers can use the information to check consistency and build router configurations.
