I'm looking for a little information on these routeservers. Currently, I am posting all information to the RADB but I am not sure if I should also be sending objects to the aforementioned DBs aswell. My upstreams are UUNet (AS816), SprintLink via Rogers Network Services (AS6463), CA*Net via Bell Global Solutions (AS3804) and soon to be linked to Sprint Canada directly. Is RADB sufficient? If so, why? If not, why? If I need to post objects to other route servers where can I find documentation on where to send the objects (ie: RADB is auto-dbm@ra.net and dbm-admin@ra.net) Any help would be appreciated. -- Regards, Jason A.

Jason, If you are registered in the RADB, a significant component in the IRR, that is about all you need. While there are several registries, there is only one IRR. The route servers are BGP engines which generate routing information for their peers using the IRR. No special registration is needed for the route servers, although there are a couple of entries in the IRR that were placed there for use by the route servers and are of no interest in other peerings.
