Possible new RIS Beacon? (Alternating visible pair)
by Ben Cartwright-Cox 22 Jan '24

22 Jan '24

Hey everybody, On my seemingly never ending task to find all "stuck" BGP sessions, I feel like there is an interesting thing that could be done for the RIPE RIS Beacons, and that is a pair of prefixes that alternate between being visible and invisible (IE: unannounced). I looked at the current estate of beacon prefixes and couldn't find anything that would fit this use case already. This would be useful to be able to tell if a prefix or session has got a stuck prefix at that current moment in time, by being able to check the time and see if the presence of a prefix shouldn't be visible. In the interests of full disclosure this would be very useful for bgp.tools to instantly “spot check” BGP feeds to see if they have stuck prefixes or not. What does everybody think? This should "only" require two /24s and two /48s, and I think this would also help researchers see the severity of stuck sessions in a much more measurable way than having to wait for hours for the beacons to go on or off! (Apologies if this is not the right place for this kind of discussion, but there were previous mails about the beacons here, so I figured here was a good place) Cheers Ben
