Deleting objects

Circumstances where you must delete a existing route object:

• You are changing ISPs and need to change the origin AS (Home AS) for your route
• You are no longer using a particular route prefix
• You are moving to a larger aggregate and want to delete a more specific prefix

To delete an object from the APIRR:

1. Query the APIRR and copy the existing object.
2. Add a line at the end of the object to be deleted using the following format:

delete: <your email address> <reason for the deletion>

Do not change any the object in any other way.

To delete more than one object, add a delete field to each object and separate each object by a blank line.

Example:

route:   202.137.181/24
descr:   SPARKYNET
origin:  AS64512
mnt-by:  MAINT-AS64512-WF
changed: kxander@sparkynet.com.wf 20000525
