should i be requesting that the entry from UUNET be removed?
It is always a happy thing to ask the db-admin to remove crud from the database. If uunet.ca is no longer originating this route, it should be removed. Mail to db-admin@radb.net will quickly resolve this. However:
i'm running into difficulties getting my routes announced via networks that use the RADB to build their filters.
Critical piece of info. N.B.:
i'm being told that some of my routes are being ignored because there are supercede'ing entries at whois.radb.net.
for example, "whois -h whois.radb.net 198.96.117.0" contains two entries: route: 198.96.117.0/24 descr: NETBLK-TORMAN origin: AS813 mnt-by: MAINT-AS813 changed: support@uunet.ca 19950920 source: RADB
route: 198.96.117.0/24 descr: Reptilian Research admin-c: JM7718-ARIN tech-c: JM7718-CSAS origin: AS843 remarks: in use by Reptilian Research remarks: parent is ARIN notify: jim@reptiles.org mnt-by: MAINT-AS843 changed: jim@reptiles.org 20000527 source: CSAS
Providers that build filters from IRR data are likely doing this from local copies of the various repositories. These mirrors may be real-time or taken from the snapshots on the FTP space. At a guess, said "filter" is likely because the ISP in question isn't mirroring the CSAS repository.
