Dear members. Last weekend I stumbled on a problem: We had problems in on of our BGP-prefixes. As the RIS Dashboard showed there was an overlapping Network in the same range as our prefix. We then wanted to contact the ISP, so the route could be redrawn (or sort this issue out), however: on the RIPE database we found: - no adress - no telephone-number - a wrong emailadress There was a link to a website, but after 4 phone-calls (where 1 has moved to another location, all the others where voice-mails), we gave up! The ISP that I couldn't reach was telefonica, see it yourself at: http://www.db.ripe.net/whois?form_type=simple&full_query_string=&searchtext=AS12956&do_search=Search Now to tackle this problem: Shouldn't there be a phone-number or a hotline for BGP-issues? Especially with big problems it's a real problem to get to the right helpdesk/support. I know that some endusers who receive a spam email would contact that hotline also, however: is it possible to show that info only if a person is logged in into the LIR-portal?
