I view the OAuth functionality as one of the bigger innovations to the PeeringDB platform in recent times. This will allow for a new generation of tools & services to be build upon PeeringDB data & PeeringDB's relation with its end users. Peering Forum meetingtools could hook in a PeeringDB OAuth integration to make the meetingtool onboarding easier. Networks that are present at many internet exchanges would benefit from those IXPs offering to login with a PeeringDB account rather than a IXP-specific account. Maybe we'll get to the point where we can just hold our cellphones together and shake, meanwhile via OAuth verification both parties know that the other person is a representative of the ASN they claim to represent - and the robots can proceed to set up all peering sessions. I'm excited about this! Kind regards, Job _______________________________________________ Pdb-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-tech
