I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has problems/suggestions/
criticisms/etc... with the current routing registry. In particular,
it would be nice to hear from UUnet, Sprint and those people who
choose not to register in the IRR.
A few years ago the chief complaints were poor data integrity (ie, bogus/old
/stale data), authentication/security and under-participation
(ie, very few ISP's used the registry). Yes, these are very serious
problems.
The data integrity problem I am guessing would still be the main
drawback people would cite.
We/Merit have worked hard over the last several years to address
the problems associated with the IRR and continue to do so. We
are finally in a position to do something about the data integrity
problem and expect to implement RFC2725 (ie, RPS auth) by mid-2001
which should have a significant impact.
But things change over time and I would like to hear what people
think. Criticisms, suggestions, ...?
