Until the RA can find and fix these problems, please try to use netmasks when specifying routes.. Unfortunately, aggchk is already out of date for some information, and can no longer be trusted as a definitive source. I believe other people have seen things even more strange that the examples I have included. If you know of any other symptoms of illness, please forward them along to me and rrgroup at merit.edu. Since I have heard nothing back from my earlier report to them, it seems safest to assume that the RA does not yet know what the problem is and could use as much data as possible to isolate it. Don't cc: the full distribution. We'll notify the full list as some sort of resolution is reached. RA folk, if there is another list which is more appropriate to send trouble reports to, let me know. Thanks, Selina In this example, the RADB object for 194.128/15 does not show unless the netmask is specified - only the RIPE object shows. ======================================================================== bugsy-sfp:/u/sfp: whois -h whois.ra.net 194.128 route: 194.128.0.0/15 descr: PIPEX-BLOCK3 origin: AS1849 advisory: AS690 1:1849 2:701(147) 3:701(134) 4:1800 remarks: Holes to come! mnt-by: AS1849-MNT changed: tim at pipex.net 950428 source: RIPE bugsy-sfp:/u/sfp: !!/15 whois -h whois.ra.net 194.128/15 route: 194.128.0.0/15 descr: PIPEX Ltd descr: 216 Cambridge Science Park descr: Milton Road descr: Cambridge descr: England descr: CB4 4WA descr: UNITED KINGDOM origin: AS1849 comm-list: COMM_NSFNET advisory: AS690 1:1849 2:701(147) 4:1800 mnt-by: MAINT-AS1849 changed: support at pipex.net 950511 source: RADB route: 194.128.0.0/15 descr: PIPEX-BLOCK3 origin: AS1849 advisory: AS690 1:1849 2:701(147) 3:701(134) 4:1800 remarks: Holes to come! mnt-by: AS1849-MNT changed: tim at pipex.net 950428 source: RIPE wawa-selina:/u/selina: whois -h whois.ra.net 194.128.1.1 route: 194.128.0.0/15 descr: PIPEX-BLOCK3 origin: AS1849 advisory: AS690 1:1849 2:701(147) 3:701(134) 4:1800 remarks: Holes to come! mnt-by: AS1849-MNT changed: tim at pipex.net 950428 source: RIPE ======================================================================== Here, there are two routes for 192.5.4/23 (both of which show with a queriy to 192.5.4), yet only the RADB object shows when 192.5.5 is queried. ======================================================================== bugsy-sfp:/u/sfp: shownet 192.5.4 route: 192.5.4.0/23 descr: Vixie Enterprises descr: 116 Stanley Street descr: Redwood City descr: CA 94062, USA origin: AS3557 comm-list: COMM_NSFNET advisory: AS690 1:3561(11) 2:3561(218) 4:200(144) 5:701(147) mnt-by: MAINT-AS3557 changed: nsfnet-admin at merit.edu 950118 source: RADB route: 192.5.4.0/23 descr: NET-VIX2 origin: AS3557 advisory: AS690 1:3561(11) 2:3561(218) 3:200(128) 4:200(144) 5:701(147) ) mnt-by: BARRNET changed: vaf at valinor.barrnet.net 950111 source: MCI bugsy-sfp:/u/sfp: shownet 192.5.5 route: 192.5.5.0/24 descr: Vixie Enterprises descr: 116 Stanley Street descr: Redwood City descr: CA 94062, USA origin: AS3557 comm-list: COMM_NSFNET advisory: AS690 2:200(144) 3:701(147) mnt-by: MAINT-AS3557 changed: nsfnet-admin at merit.edu 940729 source: RADB route: 192.5.4.0/23 descr: NET-VIX2 origin: AS3557 advisory: AS690 1:3561(11) 2:3561(218) 3:200(128) 4:200(144) 5:701(147) ) mnt-by: BARRNET changed: vaf at valinor.barrnet.net 950111 source: MCI -------- Logged at Thu May 11 23:38:53 MET DST 1995 ---------
