Hi,
I want to check if there exist RPSL -> XML converter utility/program/scripts written by somebody. if no, are there any specific guidelines or things I need to be know about if I'm to write one myself?
Related are there plans to develop RPSL futher in the future and to create compatibility with CRISP/IRIS (again this would be RPRL <> XML conversion scheme question I guess).
Not that I know of, but it does make sense. My take on it: - the domain name people have a serious problem with Whois, because it doesn't meet their needs - the addressing people have a serious problem with Whois, because it doesn't meet their needs - the routing people are just fine :) CRISP will offer referrals (not needed for most routing registries, because they are highly mirrored), standard schema (not needed because routing is all done with RPSL), authentication (not needed because RPSL is typically public), and standard query mechanisms (not needed because there are only a few real RPSL server implementations). I think eventually CRISP will have to address routing policy, but I see it as a lower priority than for dreg and areg folks. -- Shane Kerr RIPE NCC
