APNIC Internet Routing Registry Routing SIG APNIC-15, Taipei 26 February 2003
Topics • What & why a routing registry? • Benefits of APNIC routing registry • Service scope • Routing registry objects • Availability
What is an IRR? • Global Internet Routing Registry database • http://www.irr.net/ • Uses RPSL • Established in 1995 • Stability and consistency of routing • network operators share information • Both public and private databases • These databases are independent • but some exchange data • only register your data in one database
Internet Routing Registries ARIN, ArcStar, FGC, Verio, Bconnex, Optus, Telstra, ... RIPE CW RADB Connect APNIC • IRR = APNIC RR + RIPE DB + RADB + C&W + ARIN + …
Why use an IRR? • Useful for filtering routing announcements between • Peering networks • A provider and its customer • Faster network trouble shooting • Helps in creating and maintaining router configuration • In the longer term, if everybody registers its routes, a global view of routing policy can be seen and this should improve the integrity of Internet’s routing as a whole.
Benefits of APNIC IRR • Single maintainer. Use the same maintainer to manage internet resource (IPv4, IPv6, ASN), reverse DNS (in-addr.arpa, ip6.arpa), and routing information. • APNIC is able to assert the resources within a registered route if it comes from APNIC resource allocations.
IP, ASNs,reverse domains,contacts,maintainers etc APNIC Whois routes, routingpolicy, filters, peers etc IRR Integration of Whois and IRR • Integrated APNIC Whois database & Internet Routing Registry inetnum, aut-num, domain, person, role, maintainer route, aut-num, as-set, int-rtr, peering-set etc. Internet resources & routing information
Service Scope • Routing Information Queries • From regular whois clients • From special purpose programs such as IRRToolSet (ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/IRRToolSet) • From APNIC whois web interface • Routing Registration and Maintenance • Using procedures similar to registration and maintenance of internet resources • Assistance from APNIC hostmasters through e-mail and helpdesk • Training • APNIC will include routing registry topics in its members training program • Mirroring • APNIC will mirror routing registries within the Asia Pacific region as well as major registries outside of the region.
IRR-related objects • route • aut-num • inet-rtr • as-set • route-set • peering-set • filter-set • rtr-set
