If you subscribe to [email protected] you can get a picture of the worst IRR discrepancies. If your peered with a route server you can check for discrepancies between your BGP policy and your IRR entries. If you need help with RADB entries the staff at Merit is very helpfully. One of the nice things about the RA project has been the support shown for MLPAs. As a co-author of the Chicago NAP/AADS MLPA I worked with Jessica Yu (then at Merit) and Mark Knopper to make it easy for an MLPA member to use the router server. If used properly the the RADB in conjunction with the RATools can be used to annalize routing polices and aide you in the configuration of border routers. The RATools can be used to auto generate Cisco and gated configs from the IRR Peering via the router servers has a number of advantages, especially for smaller network operators. The router servers have build in dampening and they provide for a central peering point, thus reducing CPU load on your router during periods of route instability. The IRR with the RATools and web pages are great tools for analyzing and maintaining operation of the defaultless core. All network operators should be encouraged to maintain accurate entries in the IRR. It would be a bad thing if the IRR became irrelevant due to the laziness of network operators. If half the information in the IRRb is outdated and erroneous then it should be corrected. --- On Wed, 12 Nov 1997 09:43:48 -0500 (EST) Joe Provo - Network Architect <[email protected]> wrote: > > [snip] > > > use.
