I plan to write a WHOIS client for the RA in Perl as part of Net::Whois. I also plan to have a program that will walk the RA for a given AS (which is why I need the whois client). Eventually I also plan to add ARIN support to Net::Whois I'd like to see a DNS walk to compare the registry to what's out there. Not to mention finding all the bogus records that do things like list ENGLAND as a country code (instead of UK). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Prior" <[email protected]> To: "Mark Borchers" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2000 3:05 AM Subject: Re: using IRR tools for BGP route filtering > > Are there any plans to correlate route registry objects against > address registry databases? > > I believe that one of the roots of this thread is the need to validate > the legitimacy of not only routes, but registered route objects. > Although it is too much to expect that route objects will match up > cleanly with address block assignments at the outset, performing > such a correlation would at least identify the scope of the problem. > > It's not all that simple to do, although certainly some of the trash > could be deleted, since it's not always the organisation "owning" the > address space that announces it.
