When looking a little closer or talking about a well-run source DB consider the consolidation of multiple ASNs, customers getting their BGP training wheels, etc other typical origin changes. To smooth over any origin changes, it makes sense to get route objects in at least a day or two in advance; if you're doing large scale projects long-term overlaps are not at all uncommon. If you think of the IRR as a 'flight plan' or the list of "intended possibilities" then it makes more sense than trying to treat it as a strict tracking of the live BGP table state. The latter would bring you nothing but woe. Cheers, Joe -- Joe Provo Voice 508.486.7471 Director, Internet Planning & Design Fax 508.229.2375 Network Deployment & Management, RCN <[email protected]>
