Routing Information Service (RIS)

• Henk Uijterwaal lthenk_at_ripe.netgt
• ASM-IX 9th tech meeting
• Amsterdam. Sep. 1999

Overview

• Goals of the RIS
• Proposed Final setup
• Prototype
• Status of the project

Why Collect BGP Updates ?

• Routing problems are instantaneous
• need to be recorded to track
• BGP announcements originate from independent
  sources
• Follow back to origin from remote ends
• NOCs can offer better service to customers
  using RIS
• Network operators can track usage of IP addresses
  and AS
• Check past routing table against RRs

4
Goals of the RIS

• Past BGP updates between AS available to RIPE
  community
• Interactive query of past routing table for RIPE
  community
• Prefix, AS Path, Origin AS
• other BGP Attributes for IPv4
• Check real routing data against policies IRR
  reality check
• Reports like- IP address AS in use
• Raw data

Proposed Final Setup
6
Data collection

• RRC Peer with all possible peers at IX
• Few multi hop EBGP with remote Border router
• up to 10 Exchange Points
• Up to 70 peers at each IX
• Each peer announces the whole routing table
  (about 64 K prefixes)

7
Possible Queries to the RIS

• 193.0.0.0/22 updates since yesterday
• announcements from AS3333 at 600
• who announced 193.0.0.0/22 yesterday
• flap statistics of a prefix/AS for a period

Prototype

Peering with RIS Prototype

• AS AS12654
• Will not announce any routes
• Will not forward any traffic
• Will accept any routes
• Peers announce all routes.
• IP Address 193.0.0.1
