First sentence wasn't in dispute of course. :) >An _address_allocation_ that small just doesn't >require that level of public contact visibility." Here I disagree. As I (and others have pointed out) there are people with /32's that have just as much administrative control over their IP "space" as someone with a /25 might have. I have *several* customers, and we're not all that big of an ISP, that have *full* administrative control over their IP space with the one exception of reverse lookups. >Now, can we all agree that /30's and /32's are small allocations in the >grand scheme of it all and that the size or the organizations/networks that >use addresses in those allocations can not be accurately determined by the >size of the allocation alone? Good. I do definitely agree with this. :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm(a)iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456

Now, can we all agree that /30's and /32's are small allocations in the grand scheme of it all and that the size or the organizations/networks that use addresses in those allocations can not be accurately determined by the size of the allocation alone?

Hi, if they won't answer their mails route them to Null in all of your backbone. Seems to be the only thing that works. We just add a route to Null on one of our backbone routers and have the igp redistribute the thing all over our backbone. We had an intensive port scanner coming from ibm.net in switzerland. None of the contacts would react so we routed the network in question to /dev/null until the scanning stopped.

When last I dealt with this matter (96), ANS happily listens to minor IRR policy stuff in a timely (hours?) fashion, but still manually configured what they considered a "move" from AS to AS. They appeared -at that time- to consider adding sessions to an AS with which they have direct sessions a "move" and updating the IRR was insufficeint. I had hoped that went away with "advisory" lines. Maybe someone at ANS would like to comment about the current implementation?

Hello Dan, > I'm looking for information on how and/or when ANS takes updated > information from the IRR databases (RADB in this case) and applies them > internally. The short answer is I do not know. I have cc'd the ans folks and I'm sure they can give a definitive answer. However, I do have some information since we administer the *public* ans database. Updates are applied immediately to the public ans database. Updates can take up to a maximum of 15 minutes to show up on our production whois.ra.net server, which mirrors the public ans database. I am using the word 'public' to indicate that ANS keeps it's own internal DB which to my knowledge is not publically viewable. What differences there are between the public ans DB and it's internal counterpart, and how ans factors the radb DB into the equation I am unsure of. > It appears that very few nets rely on the > data in the RADB, or take updated data from the RADB in near-real-time > fashion. This is an open question and obviously there are those who do not use the IRR. However, our production whois server handles ~25,000 TCP connections and 250,000 queries per day on average. We would like to see these numbers increase as we continue to try and improve the IRR environment. I'd be interested in hearing how you came to your conclusion. regards, --jerry (Merit)

IRR/RADB updates vs. ANS?
by Daniel Senie 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

I'm looking for information on how and/or when ANS takes updated information from the IRR databases (RADB in this case) and applies them internally. I've got a case where a net has just been moved from one ISP to another, and while a new entry was placed in the RADB, there is no connectivity from the net in question to anyplace in ANS. >From various observations, ANS is the only net not accepting routes for this particular net. I've looked at the various looking glass servers, and of the ones I know of, everything looks OK (and indeed connectivity is OK). Are there any looking glass capabilities to see what ANS is routing? One guess is that ANS only takes new data from the RADB on a set schedule and insufficient time has elapsed for that data to reach their internal files. I've got a number of other nets to be moved shortly, so I'd really like to be clear on how this works. It appears that very few nets rely on the data in the RADB, or take updated data from the RADB in near-real-time fashion. Any/all info appreciated.
