Routing Registry.... it is a way to build authorized prefixes from a DataBase... You can read up about it from here https://www.arin.net/resources/routing/ Justin Wilson did a blog about it too... http://www.mtin.net/blog/?p=245 and yes ARIN also provides a Routing Registry Service ... (along with a few others) > 3. Which type of routes do you want to receive? - Full routes is what we want, > but are there caveats in this answer I need to be prepared for? No Caveats, as long as your equipment is able to take full routes, then do so. > 4. Do you have downstream ASNs? - I assume this would be customers with their > own allocations? We currently do not, but do not want to close the door on > that > in the future. Is this something easily updated in the future? Answer this question in the Present.. (you don't have any so say no)... no future door is closed due to this... this is just info asked / collected for the upstream to be able to build their ACL filters.... (This is also a flag for them to collect your BGP LOA's as well as your Customers to you..) This becomes a mute topic, if you are versed in using the Routing Registry and maintaining your own Route Objects etc. > 5.

Would we list the /24s independently or the > /22 as the aggregate? You want to ask them for the following:- xx.xx.xx.xx/22 please use the 'le 24' option with the filter. Note: this will have them build a filter that can accept larger prefixes between 24 - 22, so it is not a 'specific' filter... > 6. MD5 Password: On this is it standard practice to use the same password with > all providers or different ones? Your choice... either way.... no big deal, as long as you keep track of them. > -- > If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as > part > of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
