Indeed. That's why we've created "RISwhois" [1], a whois interface to the BGP data collected by RIPE NCC's RIS project [2]. You query riswhois.ripe.net like you'd query whois.ra.net, but the data returned are from active BGP feeds, not manually registered objects. Since RISwhois uses the same format as RADB, it's trivial to have lft consult the RIS BGP tables: simply replace the string "whois.ra.net" by "riswhois.ripe.net" in the whois.c file and recompile. -- Rene [1] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-47/presentations/ripe47-eof-riswhois… [2] http://www.ripe.net/projects/ris/index.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rene Wilhelm RIPE Network Coordination Centre Email: wilhelm(a)ripe.net Amsterdam, the Netherlands Phone: +31 20 535 4417 Fax: +31 20 535 4445 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Traceroute with ASN
by Joe Shen 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi, maybe this is a OLD question. But, where can I get a traceroute program which can show ASN beside each hop IP address? I know router with full BGP routes could traceroute with ASN, but can a linux box do the same? thanks Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Is there a typical number of BGP peers?
by Charles Shen 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Can anyone explain whether there exists a typical number (or range) of BGP peers for a usual BGP router of a large provider. For example, a BGP router receives 50 available pathes from all its peers, is that a typical scenario? Thanks. Best regards, Charles

Fire Code/UFC Regs?
by Michael Loftis 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

OK this is only probably marginally operational. Yesterday we were inspected (quite thoroughly I might add.....) by the city fire inspector for Missoula, MT....Now we did have a couple of things I know need fixing, an emergency light with a dead battery upstairs, I'm using a long orange extension cord w/o a breaker on it for my monitor at my desk. And one incidence where we had some piggy-backing going on. Now what I'm asking is this: we were told that you can NOT plug in breaker protected six outlet strips into battery backup units such as APCs, and we were (or are) being written up for that. My understanding is that most/all (atleast APC units) are properly de-rated (per UFC) and you *can* plug in additional breaker protected extension cords into these units. The problem is if this is not the case we'll be having to put a LOT more BBUs out into our office for workstations than what we planned. I've also never seen this cited as a problem but I could just be ignorant too. Please reply off-list. Sorry if anyone feels like this is a waste of time, but if there is interest I will summarize on list. If this really is true then I can see a lot of places breaking this fire code even here locally. I'm not sure what part of the code it is but he's stated that if I can get him some form of documentation from teh manufacturer or something then he can make a deviation. With a 2200VA unit only having 4-6 outlets on it I can't see *not* using additional power strip off the back of it. Thanks guys, back to the regular NANOG channel... -- GPG/PGP --> 0xE736BD7E 5144 6A2D 977A 6651 DFBE 1462 E351 88B9 E736 BD7E

Asia/Pac Options
by ravi pina 14 Mar '05

14 Mar '05

i'm more or less in my discovery phase of a project to modernize circuits i have in the following asia/pac countries/cities: beijing, shanghai, hong kong, taipei, and tokyo right now they have a mix of frac t1/e1 circuits and are in desperate need of an upgrade. initially i was looking again to get a frac service from a common carrier to all the cities, but pricing and someone pointing out that business DSL (tokyo in particular) is better for the dollar. that being said, does anyone have any particular experience with service in any/all of these cities and their latency back to the states? i'd prefer a sdsl equivalent service and will have vpn tunnels going back to one hub location (hong kong). i'm already researching the 'usual suspects' of resources, but i was looking for feedback not from a sales person. thanks, -r

FCC releases Provider locator

This is mostly used by law enforcement to find out where to serve orders on carriers, but it's an open platform and could be useful for the great circuit hunt we all engage in from time to time. http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cib/form499/499a.cfm Best, -M< -- Martin Hannigan (c) 617-388-2663 VeriSign, Inc.
