Hello all!
I am currently working on a better ASPA UI in Krill. The goal is to
provide a bit more confidence when creating an ASPA record that what was
entered is correct, and, more importantly, does not accidentally break
things once networks start validating and rejecting routes based on ASPA
records. The last iteration of that UI can be found here:
https://github.com/NLnetLabs/krill-ui/pull/58
I know this topic was also discussed during the last Routing WG in
Romania
(https://ripe91.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/sessions/30/transcript/)
and I know the RIPE NCC does not (currently) do this because there are a
lot of asterisks. But I wanted to give it a shot anyway :-)
Currently I do two things:
1. Show the likely AS name when you enter an AS number, to prevent
simple typos (8283 instead of 8382, etc.);
2. Show which AS numbers appear "to the left" in RIS (without making a
claim that they are missing per se, just that they were observed) along
with their names.
But as I am not an operator (apart from AS211321, which is a very small
network), I wanted your input as well. What is the kind of information
you would want (or not want) to see before clicking the "Create ASPA"
button?
Cordially,
Koen van Hove
PS: This does not affect the CLI and API for Krill at all, it's only the
web interface.
