 There are many variations on this theme, of course. Quite often the upstream provider will provide a LOA in the format that they, or their upstream providers will require.
-**Note:** The LOA has been superceded by ROAs in many operators - if valid ROA exists, they will allow the prefix to propagate.

LOAs are easy to [[https://sanog.org/resources/sanog29/SANOG29-Conference_BGP%20Routing%20Hijacking-Maz.pdf|forge or falsify]] and are generally recommended to be avoided now.
