Jacques,
I understand what you want and I do not think it is all that difficult to do. I would implement this by doing regular expression matching on the AS Path, that way you can for instance select the originating as by saying something like '3333$'. Also this would keep working should we decide to include other BGP attributes in the output represented by text strings.
In order to conclude this discussion: we understand what you want and will implement this.
However, at the moment we lack the manpower to actually do the work, this will change after the summer when a second person will start to work on the RIS. We have put this on his to-do list, if there are any details to be sorted out, we'll get back to you then.
Great, no problem, it was just an idea, not something I need next week :-) Thanks, Jacques. --- Jacques Caron PSINetworks Europe Network Engineer PSINet Europe Regional Peering Coordinator Planete.net IT Manager Mail: 8/10 rue Nieuport - 78140 Velizy - France Phone: +33 (0)1 34 63 19 71 - Fax: +33 (0)1 34 63 19 51
