Hello Nick, Sure, these seem to be very useful set of improvements. We will look into the implementation of these features and will update the list. All the best, Kaveh. --- Kaveh Ranjbar, RIPE NCC Database Group Manager On Dec 27, 2012, at 12:12 AM, Nick Hilliard <nick@inex.ie> wrote:
In order to solve this problem, what we'd really love to see is:
1. support for command pipelining 2. support for recursive expansion of as-set to a list of ASNs. 3. support for recursive inverse key expansion of an as-set to a list of prefixes
These would mean a massive performance gain for INEX's use case (and a bunch of other IXPs around europe) and #3 would mean that the RIPE whois server could leapfrog IRRD in terms of performance.
Would it be possible for the DB people to look into this?
