Victor:

Thanks for the entries. However, the reason I wanted to reconsider the top 39,47 entries is that they are "summary" routes. No one AS (or RDI as the ISO

INdeed, these are more there so let people know that someone is responsible for the above level.

folks in IDRP call it.) has this within it's bounds. So, we must treat it more like an aggregate.

I think that perhaps we really need to re-emphasize the difference between RDI and iso prefixes.

Did my concern come across in the other mail? I'll be glad to chat with Hank.

Certainly, that is also the reason why I posted the message to Henk. He is the writer of the document, so I think he also should react. I indeed hope that you both will start chating;-)

OSI route and IP routes should be of the same type of information, just different formats for the addresses. Did that make sense to you?

That is also my idea. I know there is somesemantic difference in wording, but lets try to make things as analgue as possible (beut difference should be stressed, that no confusing will start!). Two things are for me VERY important when using the RIPE database. It is with regard to 'consent' during database updates by differnet people from different hierarchical layers: - - when somebody inputs a NEW entry below another entry (seen in hierarchy), the highest should get a message about that update. Remark: I still see the 'first somebody' as the guardian of its inputted record! - - somebody is NOT allowed to change the routing in their record without the approval of the higher hierarchy. This to guard that no routing loops will occur. What do people think about this!!! So this message was about two things: - - the document of Henk. Please Henk and Sue try to get concensis. - - the autorisation mechanism ([preferrable automatic] checking tools) during the input session for the RIPE database. Please database-workgroup react on this. All the best, Victor

Sue
