No, the lazy operational implementations of how people deploy BGP in their networks will be the downfall of the Internet. I see on a daily basis, wrong announcements, route leaks tripping max-prefixes, RADB entries that are either totally out of date, completely wrong or for some large organisations they don't even have RADB entries. sBGP may [and probably will] help with some of that but its not a panacea.

Who actually uses RADB to build filters other than Verio? While my experience with other providers is limited Verio is the only one (of the ones we have used) who used RADB entries for BGP peers. Overall it wasn't the best solution IMHO for a couple of reasons: - there was nothing to keep us from making bogus entries in the RADB - filters were only updated once a day making changes slow This is not meant as a complaint toward Verio - I'm simply trying to decide why we should go to the added expense of entering our routes in a RADB. To date I have seen no operational difference between using RADB and not using it. My view may very well be distorted by the fact that we are not a transit AS :-) Mark Radabaugh Amplex (419) 720-3635
