I'm looking for a little information on these routeservers. I'd suggest re-visiting the IRR web data from the RA/Merit (http://www.merit.edu/radb/docs/irr.html); for another description, check the infopage.mci.net data. The IRR is the collection of all

the Routing Registries. If your provider/IP registry has their own routing registry, they will generally expect you to use it, or make provisions with them to pull data from other RRs. All others (generally those of us in the US) go thru the RA's RR.

be sending objects to the aforementioned DBs aswell. My upstreams are UUNet (AS816), SprintLink via Rogers Network Services (AS6463), CA*Net via Bell Global Solutions (AS3804) and soon to be linked to Sprint Canada directly. Check with "Bell Global Solutions" WRT their relation with the CA*Net RR. That's the only potential confusion in what you list.

If I need to post objects to other route servers where can I find documentation on where to send the objects (ie: RADB is auto-dbm@ra.net and dbm-admin@ra.net) Each registry will have their own methods.

I'm curious what the ANS/MCI registries will consist of/who they will be used by with all the merges and acquisitions...
