Curious if anyone is aware of other Tier1s deprecating support for RADB?


Rather than deprecating RADB, I think the industry would be better off
if either RADB or the Tier1s (in their local caching layer) deploy IRR
database software capable of RPKI Origin Validation ala RIPE-731.


I suspect the attitude is "why bother when we can just require that everyone 
use the IRR run by their RIR, rely on the RIR to not allow bogosity in thier 
IRR, and keep using our existing software, just limiting the IRR sources from 
which it'll accept objects?"


	While I am not a big player (or even a bump in the road) in this group I 
do find it rather odd that people & corporate entities allow (& sponsor) 
another grab at ,  imo ,  taking over the proper way we as players in this 
arena should be working WITH each other .  The "just leave it to big brother" 
is just plain a cop out to laziness (agn imo) .


Sorry I'll say no more on the above as I'd just rant .


BTW...speaking of MANRS, if there's someone on-list who can help out with 
some questions, I'd appreciate the contact.  For $work, I'd been talking to 
Kevin Meynell about our joining.  It fell through the cracks and recently 
popped back up.  Recent email to Kevin got no reply.  The MANRS web site 
could use quite a bit of clarification (or maybe just toss it and start 
over).


	To be honest the manrs site left me feeling rather blase' ,  The place 
that interested me is the Implementation Guide .  Which seems to be a compendium 
of the [RFC|BCP]'s of the Proper way to maintain records at and with the entity 
that dispenses the resource(s) being used .



Also, I'm curious how common it is for networks to build IRR-based 
prefix-list filters for all their peers (i.e. IX peers, where you have lots 
of peers)?

I think DNSSEC implementation needs to be made less scary for folk who are 
apprehensive, and broken down into two steps, where step 1 is most 
emphasized:


* Enable DNSSEC on your resolvers. Does not require you to sign your
  zones. Does not require you to read up on what it takes to sign and
  maintain your zones. Does not require you to worry and test for the
  next 60 days whether DNSSEC will break your e-mail delivery, e.t.c.:

         dnssec-enable yes;
 dnssec-validation auto;

        Done! Two lines (BIND, in this case), and off you go.


Will this handle the case of self-signed only ?
	And as Jeroen Massar mentioned the resignation of a certificate is a tad 
troubles some for both DNSSEC & DANE .



* Step 2 - take your time cluing up on getting your zone signed, and
  being part of the solution toward a more secure Internet. No
  pressure, at your pace.


Again ,  Will this handle the case of self-signed only ?

Not sure I understand your question, in both cases of recursion and

	The Signing of the 'Zone' ,  Can the 'Zone' be signed by a self-signed

Mind you I notice in rfc6487 (note(s)) about self-signed certificates .

I think there clearly is an industry-wide trend to move away from
'unsigned plain-text non-authoritative' datasets, towards better sources
of truth such as the VRP data available through the RIR RPKI Trust
Anchors.

There are variances in how stakeholders implement this paradigm shift:
some operators move towards wholesale ignorance of non-auth databases
(like Tata); some operators use softer transition mechanisms (examples:
what RIPE NCC did in lieu of RIPE-731, or how IRRd v4 in its default
configuration magically makes RPKI-invalid IRR objects disappear).

I think all of us recognize a need to declaw "third party" IRR databases
like RADB and ALTDB ("declawing" meaning that it is not desirable that
anyone can just register *anything*); on the other hand our community
also has to be cognizant about there being parts of the Internet which
are not squatting on anyone's numbers *and* also are not contracted to a
specific RIR.
Kind regards,

	Your final paragraph hits directly on my situation ,  That is as soon as 
I can get my small network connected again via hardline connections again .

I am not a customer of ARIN except for one asn .
I hold maintainership a couple of pre-arin /24's .

	And until a (imo) reasonable contract with pre-arin holders can be 
created AND a reasonable fund dispersement calculation with HARD Set $ values 
assigned ,  I will not be a Arin customer except for my one little ASN .  Which 
when I was assigned that resource was just $100/yr ,  Imo a reasonable cost . 
that cost has now only gone up 50% ,  Again somewhat reasonable cost ,  BUT that 
cost going UP is of concern to my meager financial status .


	I am greatly exasperated that I am not hearing about Public versions of 
RPKi repositories in the veign of ALTDB .

In other words a Publicly held and Volunteer based entity .

	Blast I wish I had the financial witheral to back such an enterprise . 
If I did it would remain totally vounteer & a not for profit & I'd really like

eventually (hopefully soon) turn it off altogether. Please, if you are
mirroring it, stop doing that. If you maintain documentation that lists
IRRs, please update it to reflect that HOST is no longer in use.

Thanks!

Oh ,  Sorry you were talking about latncy not Packet loss .
	While I do understand that icmp responses ARE Low priority the above 
still gives some useful info .  IMO Packet losses like the above are far worse 
than latency ,  But as far as an eyeball networks users experience makes 
absolutely no difference .


IMO as we enter the 'post-gigabit era', an extra 1 Gbps to the home will 
matter less than 100 ms or 500 ms lower working latency (optimally sub-50 ms, 
if not sub-25 ms). The past is exclusively speed-focused -- the future will be


Speed + working latency + reliability/resiliency + consistency of QoE + 
security/protection + WiFi LAN quality.


	One more set of nit's ,  "security/protection" by who's standard should 
this be taken from ,  Eyeball users ,  Eyeball network Operators ,  His 
upstreams ,  US Gov ,  Nato , ... ?


	Where can each of those mentioned in the above have their input listened 
too & acted apon ?

I don't have numbers on hand for how much US Gov space is already with
ARIN, but this seems like a pretty nice win for ARIN getting an order
for the US Gov legacy space attached to them (mentioned by name),
while other RIRs are available in that order, I don't imagine it's
going to other RIRs :)


For clarity, FCEB stands for Federal CIVILIAN Executive Branch. So,
this order excludes the military, probably the intelligence agencies,
state and local governments, etc. And not everything operated for the
Federal government is done on their IP addresses. This won't affect
address space assigned to federal contractors.

In a nutshell, this means that the few non-military federal agencies
still operating on "legacy" IPv4 addresses will now have to officially
sign a contract with ARIN. And nothing more than that.

Bill Herrin

While it maybe associated with only FCEB agencies .
Seems like one more step toward a State sanctoined Monopoly .
Which even in anyones eyes ARIN is ,  Within the U.S.A. Region .
