And at least half of those work for a small ISP in Europe.C&W, Level3, Global Crossing and NTT/Verio are small isps?Please correct me if I'm wrong, but they all use the IRR to filter customers. That's a fine application of the IRR, and one I encourage. I don't think any of them use the IRR to filter peers. Indeed, I can provde they don't filter certian big peers due to the fact they don't register thier routes at all. :)
Global Crossing doesn't use the IRR to filter their BGP speaking customers, every prefix-list update gets touched by a human. While their response time is good, and they're generally friendly people, they do have a tendancy to prove that they are human by forgetting or typoing a random route with nearly every other update. When you start getting into the hundreds of routes, personally I will go through the trouble to maintain IRR entries any day vs letting humans break stuff. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
