As discussed at the previous RIPE meeting I circulated the routing paper draft to the RIPE routing group as proposed and have been folding in comments and additions for the last two weeks. I have got a finished document that is felt complete enough to be vented to a wider audience. The document is known as ripe-81. Ref: ripe-81 Title: Representation of IP Routing Policies in the RIPE Database Author: Tony Bates, Jean-Michel Jouanigot, Daniel Karrenberg, Peter Lothberg, Marten Terpstra Date: 22 February 1993 Format: PS=151610 bytes TXT=73452 bytes Obsoletes: Obsoleted by: Updates: Updated by: Old: The documents can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from ftp.RIPE.net in the directory ripe/ripe-docs as the filenames ripe-81.txt (ascii based version) ripe-81.ps (postscript version) The document is specifically marked as "Work in progress" as we still need it ratified at the next RIPE meeting. At this point if we reach consensus it will be assigned a new ripe document number and this will be obseleted. I encourage everyone to read this document. ALL COMMENTS ARE MOST WELCOME and will be folded in as time permits for review at the next RIPE meeting. As an update and also to perhaps help in reading as well. 1) We have a very basic prototype that can generate both cisco and gated accesslists from the database. A very small pilot has started and we here at the NCC are just generating access-lists derived from information from a pseudo database using the proposed format. I will be contacting other potential partners in the pilot in due course. This will be done via the routing group list so as not to clutter the main list. 2) A very basic prototype of a "prtrace" type tool is also under way. 3) We have also started on a suite on "configurator" based tools to make life generally easier for network providers. As I said all comments welcome. Tony Bates, RIPE NCC
