Re: IRR/RADB updates vs. ANS?
I've got a number of other nets to be moved shortly, so I'd really like to be clear on how this works. It appears that very few nets rely on the data in the RADB, or take updated data from the RADB in near-real-time fashion. When last I dealt with this matter (96), ANS happily listens to minor IRR policy stuff in a timely (hours?) fashion, but still manually configured what they considered a "move" from AS to AS. They appeared -at that time- to consider adding sessions to an AS with which they have direct sessions a "move" and updating the IRR was insufficeint. I had hoped that went away with "advisory"
[snip] lines. Maybe someone at ANS would like to comment about the current implementation? Cheers, -- Joe Provo, Network Architect 508.229.8400 x3006 Commercial Internet Services Group Fax 508.229.2375 UltraNet Communications, Inc., an RCN Company <jprovo@ultra.net>
Thanks to everyone who posted messages and/or sent me private mail on this issue. It has been resolved, and the information gathered here helped a great deal. We ultimately got a conference call today with an NOC engineer from the provider upstream of the net, and a fellow at the ANS NOC, and got the route added in. The fellow from ANS indicated the routes are picked up on Wednesday (not sure what time) for the Thursday update, and on Sunday for the Tuesday update. It's possible the RADB update for this prefix, which was made Wednesday, occurred after ANS had pulled the data. This is all second-hand, though. Perhaps someone from ANS will confirm or deny...

When FDT got it's CIDR block from ARIN several months ago, I had to call ANS and complain that they were ignoring my entry in radb.ra.net.
