Very subtle, David. As it happens, somebody asked only last week if they could take up the project again. For those who think mapping filters to route objects is nigh trivial, there is a significant difference between network assignees and routes. Tracking assignments, ASNs, customer routing policy, and which edge router each connects to requires two scoops of Perl. I should also point out that three out of four RIRs run a route registry. http://www.arin.net/tools/rr.html Lee On Sun, 2 Mar 2003, David Barak wrote:

Sadly for that project, after I left, the little Ultra 5 was abandoned, and AFAIK is still sitting in my old lab, unused - and after the most recent (quarterly) staff-bloodletting, there certainly won't be resources to devote to a project like that.
