## AI overview

This article analyzes which parts of the Internet Route Registry landscape can safely be replaced by RPKI using traffic and route-server data from AMS-IX and DE-CIX. It concludes that third-party ROUTE(6) objects can largely be phased out, while third-party AS-SETs remain important for BGP filter generation.

## Source excerpt

In the third part of our IRR landscape series, we use traffic measurements from AMS-IX and DE-CIX to assess which parts of the IRR landscape can safely be replaced with RPKI. Third-party ROUTE(6) objects can largely be phased out, while third-party AS-SETs remain essential for BGP filter generation.
