I want to be a Good Netizen and register my BGP peers. Your definition of BGP peering is different from mine, at least in this context. > I guess you are right, the _Peering_DB does not register “certain” networks. Which was my point. I'm glad you agree. My little AS is not allowed to play with the big kids. If you only want to register settlement-free peering, that's totally fine with me. Your database, your rules. But, the fact stays that you can have an AS, advertise your prefixes to the world, and not be permitted to register with peeringdb. Which means it can't be used as a single source of truth. Which would have been a shame because with a little bit of automation it would be feasible to "score" advertisements. That would help determine the likelihood of an advertisement to be erroneous (whether by accident or malice). For example, if I were to register my peers (53356 and 136620) and AS5524 would all of a sudden start to advertise my AS as behind it, you'd be able to flag that. But again, your database, your rules. Thanks, Sabri
