my opinion: the nacr style is good, because it requires really getting the thing right and thought out. Anyways, such a db should be used infrequently. aggregation should make frequent entries unnecessary. (...) ripe's telnet is good too, but a real telnet online type access would invite sloppyness, and/or repalce route flap by nultiple daily policy flap. Mike On Wed, 19 Apr 1995, Vadim Antonov wrote:

I agree with the idea of Routing Registry (although i'm more than sceptical about RADB in its present form, replacing distributed computation with a cental box not controlled by the service providers).
However, my point is that it should be easy to use and should be on-line; the NACR-style configuration nightmare is not going to fly.
