Announcing new route (What besides BGP?)

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)
1

Ok, I've got my BGP4 announcement configured for my new /19 which I feel
much better about after the response I got from this list (thanks for all
that replied). I'm now waiting for inbound filter changes on my
upstream BGP sessions.

Once upon a time, I used to also have to enter a new route into the raddb.
Unfortunately, it's been some time since I have done that and am
uncertain of the state of the raddb and whether or not it is still in
use. Or, if it has been replaced/supplemented with something else. Is
there a FAQ I should have bookmarked which contains this information? Or,
if there isn't could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks again,

Half of the information in the raddb is outdated and erroneous.

That is why everyone should do their part and clean it up. Visit
http://engr.ans.net/route-dumps/
and make sure your AS is registered properly.

To answer the original question, yes, register your route objects in the
RADB. If you don't, you may experience reachability problems to some
providers. (Although ANS says that they don't currently deny unregistered
prefixes, you should still register.) For more info on registering your
objects, see: http://www.ra.net/RADB.tools.docs/register.html

Interesting. How did you measure that?

I meant in the RADB, not the raddb, sorry.
I just took a look through it. Maybe I found all
the errors, but I highly doubt that.
