announcement

  * Hi Daniel,

Elise as Geert Jan has mentioned. Unfortunately, Daniel is still away
ill at the moment and not due back until next week. 

However, I do have a couple of questions while we're at it.

  * Have you had a chance to review the announcement about
  * the Merit Routing Registry?  We would really like to make
  * a joint announcement with RIPE and by the end of this
  * week if possible. Bill Manning has been a cooperative
  * guinea pig...

Whilst Bill may have been a good guinea pig it appears there is some
misunderstanding of how this works. Here is his registered policy.

[mature-tony-63] whois -h rrdb.merit.edu AS114
aut-num:   AS114
descr:     Priamry SESQUIENT as
as-in:     AS114 1 ANY
as-out:    AS690 ANY
mas-in:    from AS114:1 accept AS690
mas-out:   to AS114:1 announce AS690
guardian:  bmanning at rice.edu
admin-c:   Bill Manning
tech-c:    Bill Manning
remarks:   Is this thing on?
changed:   bmanning at rice.edu  940328
source:    MERITRR

The as-in and mas-in and mas-out make no sense at all so I'm a little
worried about the clarity of the documentation. I expect it is just Bill
but one problem is people are possibly likely to use this as an
example for their own policies.

What it should be (and I'm guessing but anyway..) is
aut-num:   AS114
descr:     Priamry SESQUIENT as
as-in:	   AS690 1 AS690 # You make this ANY
as-out:    AS690 AS114 	 #      "
mas-in:    from AS690:1 accept AS690
mas-out:   to AS690:1 announce AS114

It also highlighted a bug (one of many actaully ;-() in prcheck as this
didn't notice this so I just fixed this in the latest verison of
prcheck. 
I see the same problem exists in AS690 as well. I enclose the 
fixed prcheck output at the end.

  * and Laurent has completed a rewrite of prtraceroute
  * and the corresponding policy server which can
  * reference each of our files in their native form.  So we
  * are ready to announce.  Please let us know where you all stand
  * on this.  Thanks.

Is it possible we can look at these two new pieces of code ?. Of course
this doesn't effect the annoucement but we are very intereted in the 
YAP server.
