-An Internet Routing Registry (IRR) record is what notifies internet service providers (ISPs) of how you are allowing your resources to be used. It is necessary to keep your IRR entries up to date so that it is public information that Cloudflare has permission to advertise your prefix or prefixes and to ensure that your traffic can be properly routed on the internet.

-The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) maintains an IRR that allows registrants of AS numbers and IP addresses to publish that information so that ISPs can make appropriate routing decisions.

 ## Configure an IRR entry
 
-You can add or update an IRR entry by following the directions within any of the recommended internet registries listed in the [Internet Routing Registry](https://www.irr.net/index.html).
-
-If you own your own subnet, use the RIPE and APNIC routing registries. These registries allow you to verify subnet ownership.
-
-If you lease your subnet, follow these guidelines:
-
-* When you do not need ownership verification, use the AFRINIC or NTT routing registry.
-* When you submit a route object via email, use the ARIN registry. Address blocks owned by others do not appear in the ARIN interface.
+You can add or update an IRR entry by following the directions of your routing registry. Each routing registry has its own set of instructions to configure an IRR entry.
 
-The recommended registries are AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, NTT, RADB, and RIPE.

The LOA is required by Cloudflare's transit providers so they can accept the routes Cloudflare advertises on behalf of another entity.
 
 The letter must contain both the prefixes you are authorizing Cloudflare to announce and which ASN they will be announced under. Cloudflare can announce a prefix under your ASN or you can use Cloudflare's ASN, which is AS13335.

+## Auto-generated LOA
+
+If you are onboarding your own IPs via the [self-serve flow](/byoip/get-started/), you can set `delegate_loa_creation` (in the [Add Prefix API call](/api/resources/addressing/subresources/prefixes/methods/create/)) to `true` . This will allow Cloudflare to automatically generate the LOA, speeding up the process.

+Auto-generated LOAs rely on [RPKI-signed ROAs](/byoip/concepts/route-filtering-rpki/) and [ownership validation](/byoip/get-started/#validate-prefix-ownership) checks.

+As referred in the [IRR concept page](/byoip/concepts/irr-entries/), network operators use IRR records to configure backbone routers. In summary, it is the IRR records that provide information about IP prefixes and the <GlossaryTooltip term="autonomous system numbers (ASNs)">autonomous systems (ASN)</GlossaryTooltip> authorized to announce them. Then, network operators will apply filtering policies to avoid invalid announcements.
+
+Considering this important role of IRR records, validation via Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) was introduced. With RPKI, the IP/ASN association is cryptographically validated before being passed on to the routers.
+
+When registering your prefix under one of the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)[^1], you can generate a cryptographically-signed object called Route Origin Authorization (ROA). ROAs are public and you can use [Cloudflare's RPKI Portal](https://rpki.cloudflare.com/?view=validator) or other sources, such as [Routinator](https://rpki-validator.ripe.net/ui/), to check your prefixes.
