In particular, it would be nice to hear from UUnet, Sprint and those people who choose not to register in the IRR. A few years ago the chief complaints were poor data integrity (ie, bogus/old /stale data), authentication/security and under-participation (ie, very few ISP's used the registry). Yes, these are very serious problems. The data integrity problem I am guessing would still be the main drawback people would cite. We/Merit have worked hard over the last several years to address the problems associated with the IRR and continue to do so. We are finally in a position to do something about the data integrity problem and expect to implement RFC2725 (ie, RPS auth) by mid-2001 which should have a significant impact. But things change over time and I would like to hear what people think. Criticisms, suggestions, ...? --jerry winters (Merit)
