BGP Policy Update Questionnaire (only 3 questions) for research purposes (SNE/OS3 MSc. thesis University of Amsterdam)
by Stavros Konstantaras 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Dear members, First of all, I would like to apologize if you received this message more than once. I am sending this e-mail on behalf of my colleague, Stamatios Maritsas, who is a master student of System and Network Engineering MSc. (SNE/OS3) program at University of Amsterdam and currently conducting his master's thesis project titled: "A decentralized system for automatic exchange of policies for BGP configurations”. The purpose of the questionnaire (only 3 questions :)), that you will find in the following link, is to help him gather important information based on your implemented BGP routing policy, which will help design an exchange policy system in the most efficient way. I want also to inform you that all the data that will be gathered and used will be only for research purposes and fully anonymized. Link of questionnaire: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7TzoYvFGcXAOUWaZa30v-zHeRH8jfm__… <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7TzoYvFGcXAOUWaZa30v-zHeRH8jfm__…> Thank you in advance for your time, and I hope that you can help him/us!

Afrinic IRR homing project
by denis 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Hi Piotr I commented some time ago about the possibility of a ROUTE object existing in both the RIPE Database and the Afrinic Database with different content. Did anyone do the simple check to see if any such objects exist? If they do, has anyone thought about who's responsibility it is to decide how to handle them? Has anyone considered what to do with AUT-NUM objects that reference the Afrinic ROUTE objects after they are deleted? At the Warsaw RIPE Meeting I dared to ask the question to the community about the RIPE NCC 'fixing' AUT-NUM objects (apparently a very controversial question). cheers denis

out of region ROUTE objects
by denis 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

HI guys I know this is a NWI, but with only a 10 minute slot in the agenda to review all the NWIs I doubt much will be discussed. I have a question. This issue has generated an almost identical discussion at the last 4 RIPE Meetings, with the same options on the table and the same indecision at the end of the discussion. In between RIPE Meetings it doesn't seem to be a problem (maybe it isn't a problem at all). I see it is not on either agendas at this meeting for DB or Routing WGs. If it is still a (real) problem, can someone actually make a decision on one of the options to fix it and do something? cheers denis

Thank you. I guess that I must have a very old whois client, because it objected to most of the command line options you listed. But I was able to apply what you said and get the information I wanted from RIPE's web-based WHOIS query page, so that's great. Thanks a lot! Regards, rfg

Query all route objects for a given AS?
by Ronald F. Guilmette 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Greetings, Sorry if this is an FAQ, but I'd like to know if there is a way to formulate a WHOIS query against whois.ripe.net in a way so as to obtain a complete list of the registered route objects that are associated with a given particular AS. If there's a way to do this, and if someone can instruct me on how it is done, I sure would appreciate that. Thanks.

Hi Ronald If you type it on the command line you need: whois -rBGi or AS3333 which basically says do an inverse query (-i or) on objects containing:origin: AS3333 give the full object details (-B), without any grouping (-G) and don't return related personal data (-r) If you use the query.html you must also check 'origin' under the 'Inverse lookup' tab. I also suggest you check the 'Do not retrieve related objects' box other wise you may return lots of personal data objects and get blocked very quickly. cheersdenis From: Ronald F.

Could you perhaps show me a complete example command line? Regards, rfg P.S. I also just now visited the following page: https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html Under "Types" I checked only "route". Then in the search box I entered only the AS number of interest to me. Then I clicked on the "search" button. The result was that I only got the following error: ERROR:115: invalid search key Search key entered is not valid for the specified object type(s) Is it actually not possible to obtain from the RIPE WHOIS data base a list of all route objects currently associated with a particular AS number?
