I'm thrilled to hear that that project is being picked up again. The long-term benefits (IMO) are worth the non-trivial amount of effort required to make a functioning solution. --- lhoward@UU.NET wrote:
Very subtle, David. As it happens, somebody asked only last week if they could take up the project again. For those who think mapping filters to route objects is nigh trivial, there is a significant difference between network assignees and routes. Tracking assignments, ASNs, customer routing policy, and which edge router each connects to requires two scoops of Perl.
I should also point out that three out of four RIRs run a route registry. http://www.arin.net/tools/rr.html
