Re: Who uses RADB? [was BGP to doom us all]
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.
Level3 do atleast. Most European providers do.
For customers, though not inter-provider. -danny

We use them.. as you say for customers only. Inter-provider we have basic bogon checking plus maximum prefix. Its too unwieldy to build when you have peers exchanging thousands of routes... theres a belief that the peer should be behaving responsibly tho and this is a condition of most bilateral peering contracts. Going back to the original topic on this thread I would expect a deliberate attack on BGP routing to come from a customer not a provider such as Level3, if they are filtering in turn to their customers we have a reasonable amount of sanity checking going on Steve
