Actually, we just became multihomed last month. I'm not aware of any problems getting to other parts of the net, and definitely no problems with C&W. [Also, my apologies if this a newbie BGP question] I started looking at the RADB, but haven't got ourselves setup yet. Does anyone actually deny routes which aren't listed in the RADB? I guess what I'm really asking is how important is it to be in the RADB? Does it get more important sometime soon? I would also tend to think [based on limited BGP knowledge] that it would only be a problem if your direct upstream used the RADB or if your upstream is RADB filtered by their peers. Is this true? --Dean At 11:39 PM 1/21/1999 -0500, Daniel Senie wrote:
I'd like to find out which networks use the RADB or IRR databases to build their routing policies, and how to look at their current databases or access looking glass or equivalent systems.
It's becoming difficult to take a network multihomed without having parts of the net appear to be black holed in other parts of the world. It appears difficult to ascertain which networks are doing what with policies.
So far I am aware of CW.NET and ANS.NET using the routing databases to build their policies, but am not aware of a way to look at their tables. If anyone has pointers to their resources, or those of other nets using the routing registries, please let me know.
