Hi, Pawel! My guess would be that a full snapshot available via ftp is considered not that NEAR Real Time as the update data stream that you may pull continuously from the server - they're not trying to sell data there but the service of that data being streamed. Although I'd expect that stuff to be available to members without extra pay - at least one host per member. 07.01.2012 21:12 пользователь "Pawel Tyll" <ptyll@nitronet.pl> написал:
Hello people (and ticket bots :>),
I wanted to do some BGP filtering automation today, learned some interesting things in the process. I decided on setting up a local mirror of RIPE IRR and was quite puzzled with reasoning behind this:
http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/nrtm-mirroring
So, I can download the whole database snapshot for free from ftp.ripe.net, wasting bandwidth and other resources, or on the other hand I can pay for doing things the right and efficient way, which in the process is effectively cheaper for all involved parties.
So the question is - what gives? :) - why does RIPE insist that I download >200MB of compressed data instead of catching up probably few hundred KB of daily changes?
