Hello around, does anyone besides me consider the Level (3) IRR database useful to be mirrored? I can find the Level(3) data on whois.ra.net but I would like to continue using whois.ripe.net. I understand the db admins position but I consider this source valuable. I have no statistics on the number of objects - I just happen to meet source LEVEL3 now and then. Karsten
Dear Karsten.Koepp,
Regarding you question about the RIPE NCC mirroring the LEVEL 3 database, we currently have no plans on doing that as we were not requested by LEVEL 3 to carry a mirror of their data.
Our requirements for mirroring are: 1. The source is a public IRR 2. It should have considerable size 3. It should be useful for the users in the RIPE region
We don't seek out databases to mirror, although if a number of our users think that it can be useful we can ask permission for that.
