Sounds like what the IRR (is supposed to) deliver.
Of course, you have to ask yourself... Is my data
correct in the IRR?
And then a quick turn through ROE - the route object editor
and RtConfig will allow anyone to crank out a correctly
churned cisco config in seconds. No need for an MLPA,
No being out of control... with the minor exception that
your intended peer has not entered thier peering policies
into the IRR correctly. Of course this can be checked
with ROE.
Keeps the phone calls to adjacent peers routing geeks down
to a managable level... :)
