RAToolSet version 3.5.0 is now available from: http://www.isi.edu/ra/RAToolSet ftp://ftp.isi.edu/ra/RAToolSet This version contains the beta release of aoe, Autonomous System Object Editor: aoe simplifies the creation of aut-num objects by employing some heuristics to add and modify as-in and as-out attributes. For example, given a BGP dump from a router inside your AS, aoe parses the AS_PATH attributes in the BGP dump, and determines the peer ASes, and the import policies for each peer AS. A template based mechanism is provided for users to create their own heuristics to augment the heuristics that we provide. aoe can register the aut-num object in the IRR after editing is done. aoe is implemented by WeeSan Lee. RtConfig has couple of new features: -supress_martian option -@RtConfig networks commands -@RtConfig default commands There are also some minor bug fixes. Please refer to the man pages for the details. We will be presenting the new features during the upcoming ietf. Precompiled binary versions for selected OSes will be made available after the IETF. As usual, bug reports, suggestions for improvements and particularly patches are welcome.
