hello;
i am doing some research on the rir databases. for my purposes having all data in, what i call 'arin' format, would be the simplest for processing.
are there any software utilities available for converting from rpsl to 'arin' format?
if no software utilities are available is there a mapping description available from rpsl to 'arin' format?
well, we bit the bullet and spent today writing an rpsl-to-arin conversion program. works rather well except for orgid: and parent: fields. obviously, orgid:, we will have a create our own. i do have a question concerning parent:. i am do not have an indepth knowledge of rpsl, so please bare with the question. does rpsl have a concept of parent? if rpsl does have a concept of parent would someone direct me to the document/documents which explain it? thank you all for your answers. -- terry l. ridder ><>
