All, Just wanted to provide people with a quick update on the BGP-Inspect project. The BGP-Inspect website (http://bgpinspect.merit.edu) provides people with an easy to use, fast, querable interface to a subset of the data collected at routeviews. Since the last update we have added 3 additional "views", i.e. peers whose data you can query individually. These new peers are: UUNET-MCI(157.130.10.233), Verio-CA(129.250.0.11) and France-Telecom-NYC(193.251.245.6). What this means is that we are extracting information for these 3 peers in addition to the 5 that we did previously. The website now hosts data going back to Aug 1 2005, and the database has grown to over 400GB. We continue to see a moderate amount of usage with people running queries on a continual basis. Roughly speaking queries from outside North America seem to outnumber queries from within(probably an artifact of the data the site provides). One question I had for the community is just how useful is it to provide live access to data going back upto a year. Has anyone actually used such historical data in the past? The original goal of the project was to house data for upto 6 months, we are now upto 13 months. If there is not much use for it perhaps we can age out data older than say 1 year? Comments welcome(offlist). thanks -manish
