well.... RIPE is the RIR for Europe. RIPE-229 is, from my viewpoint, arbitrary and capricious. the root servers are -ONE- set of interesting servers. what about the web sites that point to these "important" documents? or the time servers, or my NOC & monitoring machines? The idea of an Internet Registry stepping into giving routing advice is a leap of faith. An RIR can tell you what was delegated - but presuming to give advice on what is important for everyone that uses IP protocols is over the top. so no, i don't use this document as a guideline for "golden networks". the advice on dampening is important tho and it worthwhile.

Hello folks,
This is actually NANOG applicable, despite referring to RIPE... ;-)
How many of you who manage BGP speaking networks implement the RIPE "best practices" regarding dampening parameters for so-called "golden networks"?
See: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/routeflap-damping.html and http://www.qorbit.net/documents/golden-networks (thanks, Steve!)
If you do, what parameters do you use, or do you not dampen the "golden networks" at all?
If you don't implement ripe-229, why not?
If there is enough interest/response (i.e if anyone besides me feels this is a real operational issue currently and wants to deal with it), I'll work on compiling the responses and producing a report.
Note: A *significant* number of networks appear to *not* follow ripe-229 guidelines at all.
