In the case at hand, the IP block is not legacy, it was an ARIN allocation from the start. Cogent does have a number of legacy blocks but AFAIK they wouldn't need to bring them to an LRSA in order to issue ROAs for the non-legacy blocks. > > Perhaps in your case, if RPKI is a requirement, you are better off > bringing your own (RPKI capable) IP space? With IPv4 depleted at most RIRs, getting someone's own IPv4 space is not happening anytime soon. Rubens
