Well, the undocumented fact is that RIS does not accept multi-hop BGP peerings, which may somewhat limit its coverage.
Why then do I have one? They do such things, they indeed do.
Well, some time ago we opened a ticket to create RIS peering, and it was set up but didn't work, because they didn't realize it'd be multihop (about 3 hops). The peering was cancelled. Below is the "explanation" (NCC#2005120077 rrc07): ===8<==== Actually we didn't notice immediately the request was meant to be for multi-hop. We normally prefer not to configure multi-hop sessions. It would be preferable for us if you are present at the common IXP location with the RIS project so that we can establish a session there. You can check out locations at: http://www.ripe.net/projects/ris/docs/peering.html The sessions are now cancelled. ====8<==== This policy was not, AFAIR, available in any public documents. So I wouldn't be surprised if RIS's coverage was somewhat limited. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks. Security. -- George R.R.
