Hi,
I really don't know where else to post this. I recently subscribed to RADB and added route objects and route6 objects for our prefixes we announce. Of course an aut-num object was created and I created a list of ASN's that are downstream customers in an as-set list. But, since this is my first time ever subscribing to a routing registry, I really don't know for sure that I'm doing everything correctly. So, I submitted an e-mail to RADB and requested that they review what I've done and to see if I'm doing it correctly. Well, the reply I received was far less than I could have ever imagined:
"RADb is a self-serve service. If you have specific questions, we can
address those. However, the type of audit requested is not a part of the standard offering associated with this service."
So my question is, how am I supposed to verify that what I've done is what is supposed to be done and that I am doing this correctly?
My next question is, why would RADB offer zero support for confirming this? And lastly, why should my organization pay $500 per year to a service that is unwilling to assist in making sure their subscriber is using their service properly?
Best regards,
Brandon Wade
