One planned use of the planned Route Server extensions (RSng++) is to allow real-time correlation of routing data against the totality of the IRR. This will likely result in a publicly accessible database of what the Route Servers have seen in the global routing mesh. For completeness, such a database may also include views from other routers. One possible use for such a database is an report similar to the CIDR report showing non-registered routes.
Are there any plans to correlate route registry objects against address registry databases? I believe that one of the roots of this thread is the need to validate the legitimacy of not only routes, but registered route objects. Although it is too much to expect that route objects will match up cleanly with address block assignments at the outset, performing such a correlation would at least identify the scope of the problem. -- Mark Borchers Splitrock Services Network Engineering 9012 New Trails Dr. (281) 465-1200 The Woodlands, TX 77381 mborchers@splitrock.net http://www.splitrock.net/
