Subject: Re: Getting an AS and /18
c) Take all that spreadsheet data, and throw it into an rwhois server. For a /20 worth of addresses, this took me the better part of 3-4 days of data entry. I would expect it would take one person 12-16 days for a /18 worth of addresses. Need it faster? Throw more people at data entry.
This "spreadsheet" and "data-entry" stuff seems like the wrong way to go about things! Using a spreadsheet to split out subnet lists seems like way-over-kill. Don't you already have routing tables or other configuration data that lists all this stuff somewhere? As for needing to do data-entry, well all the data comes from computers in the first place. It should only take a competent programmer a day or two at most, and maybe even just an hour or two at best, to hack together something to manipulate it from one form to another as required. -- Greg A.
