Hi Job, I guess you have a point seeing as the non-realtime DB files are public without any paperwork. - Cynthia On 2019-03-24 10:46, Job Snijders wrote:
In order to provide the most value to RIPE NCC's members, I'd argue that we need to remove ALL the paperwork e.g. allow any IP address to set up a NRTM stream for the purpose of mirroring IRR objects that contain routing information: route/route6/route-set/as-set. NTT is mirroring the RIPE database at rr.ntt.net and we filter away anything non-routing anyhow.
The current NRTM agreement poses a significant barrier, the barrier can be easily be circumvented; so it only causes harm.
Having an agreement in place for IRR data that contains PII, Organisation or any non-routing information is fine with me. That data has no value in router configuration automation pipelines anyway.
Kind regards,
Job
