An Internet Routing Registry (IRR) record is what notifies internet service providers (ISPs) of how you are allowing your resources to be used. This helps ensure ISPs will recognize your routes as legitimate and enables them to ignore unauthorized routes published by someone else.

The [Internet Routing Registry (IRR)](http://www.irr.net/index.html) is a globally distributed database of routing information. The IRR contains announced routes and routing policies in a common format, and network operators use this information to configure their backbone routers.

The IRR consists of many individual [routing registries](http://www.irr.net/docs/list.html), and some are managed by regional entities, such as APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE. Each routing registry contains IRR entries that provide information about IP prefixes and the [autonomous systems](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/network-layer/what-is-an-autonomous-system/) authorized to announce them.
