Hi,
What do you think about this request?
In general, I think we should try to honor this request, cymru does useful work and it is a valid application of the data that we have. On the technical side, I wonder why they need a BGP feed. This will be multihop BGP over a large number of intermediate nodes, with all stability issues related to that. It would also involve peerings with all RRC's. OTOH, the raw data does have the same info, is already downloadable, and does not suffer from stability problems. I might miss something here. I do think that we should set them up. If we do, I think we should ask them to put appropriate credtis on their site. We should also ask them, when they present, to tell people to peer with us. And, obviously, we can give a link to them from our site. Henk
Cheers, Vasco

Greetings,
My name is Dave Deitrich and I'm a member of Team Cymru (http://www.cymru.com). We were wondering if it would be possible to establish a BGP peering session with you in order to receive copies of some of the routing data that you use for the RIPE RIS project. The prefix data will be used to help enhance our Internet monitoring utilities. These utilities look for general aberrations such as routing instability, worm outbreaks, prefix hijackings, etc. so the more peering data we have the better.
We recently posted a request for more peers to a security list and Bruce Campbell suggested that you might be able to help us. If so we would love to discuss this with you. Please let us know if you think that this would be feasible.
Thanks very much for your attention.
