Of some importance, yes, definitely, since at least some actors (including Teleglobe, my home) tend to recurse on AS-set when building filters... so unless registrered all the way down/up, filtered... which, by the way, is a good moment/reason to help those smaller ASes go register (rather than patching/proxying for them).

Just for clarification, ARIN's Routing Registry is available to any organization or entity, and is not reserved for use by its members only. Currently there is no fee associated with registering in the ARIN RR.

IRR/RADB and BGP
Title: Message Our new ISPis asking that I create a maintainer object in the RADB and associated AS/Routes for us to be about to eBGP peer. This is the first time I've been asked by a provider to do this for something as simple as peering to advertise a couple /24's. I've peered with ATT, Sprint, UUnet, Qwest, Savvis, SBC, and Internap in the past and never had to do anything but have a valid ASN provided by ARIN. Is this just so they can dynamically build their prefix/as-path lists? Why would I need to do this and what advantages are there. Cost to register with RADB is $250/year and I want to understand it before I shell out. Thanks, -=Vandy=-

Our new ISP is asking that I create a maintainer object in the RADB and associated AS/Routes for us to be about to eBGP peer. congrats. you got a quality provider who cares about good safe routing practice. Is this just so they can dynamically build their prefix/as-path lists? i would hope they do. Why would I need to do this and what advantages are there. Cost to register with RADB is $250/year and I want to understand it before I shell out. the providers i know who want irr registration provide their own registry for their customers. if yours does not, there are free registries around. randy

You've peered with SBCIS and not set up an aut-num and route objects in the RADB? For shame! That's our policy, too. Get with it!

Cost to register with RADB is $250/year and I want to understand it before I shell out. Use ARIN's IRR or AltDB, then. But wouldn't it be nice to support the RADB, and our good friends at Merit? Heck, you could donate a few grand -- I'm sure they'd accept it. Peter E. Fry

### On Thu, 19 Jun 2003 15:46:48 -0700, Kevin Oberman [EMAIL PROTECTED] ### casually decided to expound upon Vandy Hamidi ### [EMAIL PROTECTED] the following thoughts about Re: ### IRR/RADB and BGP : KO You need to have routes registered in the IRR, but not necessarily the KO RADB. The RADB is only a part of the IRR. Many larger ISPs and NSPs KO run their own registries and there are several international KO registries including APNIC and RIPE. There has been at least one free KO database out there. I just don't remember the URL. (It's in the KO archives, but the search may be painful.) RADB mirrors other registries and its server will happily spit out results from multiple sources/mirrors. Thus if you register in say AltDB, your provider will by default get returned your object if they query the RADB server. This of course assumes they are not doing selective source and restricting their searches to that of only RADB. You will want to confirm this with your provider. Tools such as IRRToolSet used for building prefix filters will allow the user to select on a per-query basis (in addition to global) which sources to search against when querying an IRR database. -- /*===[ Jake Khuon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]==+ | Packet Plumber, Network Engineers /| / [~ [~ |) | | --- | | for Effective Bandwidth Utilisation / |/ [_ [_ |) |_| N E T W O R K S | +=*/
