2. . APNIC 2001. http://www.ripe.net/ris/ 2 Overview Why a Routing Information Service? What is the Routing Information Service ? How to use the RIS ! How to participate ! Q & A

3. . APNIC 2001. http://www.ripe.net/ris/ 3 Why a RIS ? Global routing behavior affects I(S)P service Distant routing problems are difficult to diagnose ‘Routing quality’ of neighbors is difficult to assess Destination based routing provides ‘one-way- only’ control & diagnostics Looking glasses are a crude tool to cover the ‘other direction’

4. . APNIC 2001. http://www.ripe.net/ris/ 4 What is RIS? “Looking Glass on Drugs” Multiple route collectors integrate multiple views Database provides access to more than just instantaneous data Database supports various (longer term) analysis products Multiple collectors and database enable complex analysis products

8. . APNIC 2001. http://www.ripe.net/ris/ 8 Main Parameters –RRC –AS# or IP Address –Time Period Example: www.apnic.net at LINX (London)www.apnic.net at LINX (London) –note query for /32 Address possible returns routes containing Address –output starts with routing table dump, then updates Raw Database Query Live Example
