How Route Servers at an IX Use RPKI to Filter Bad Routes
Route servers protect IX members by rejecting invalid and bogon announcements.

Route servers simplify peering
One session to the route server gives access to many members.
Filtering layers
- Bogon prefixes and ASNs rejected
- RPKI-invalid routes dropped
- IRR-based prefix filters
- Max-prefix limits
Benefits to members
Members receive cleaner routes and are protected from many hijacks and leaks.
Your part
Create ROAs for your prefixes and keep IRR objects accurate so your routes are accepted.
