Dropping RPKI invalid prefixes

Telia Carrier/AS1299 is now as the first tier-1 dropping RPKI invalid prefixes from both customers & peers. We’re hoping for more networks and operators to join us for a more resilient and stable Internet.

If you want to register ROAs for your own IP space there are different processes and support depending on which Regional Internet Registry assigned your address space. The following links should help:
