I might be a bit old and stupid, but let me paraphrase if I understand
this right:
- people put crap into the RADB all day long
- so we add an API for the RIPE DB so that the RADB operators can
auto-check whether a given (prefix,as) tupel has been authorized by
the owner in their corresponding registry (here: RIPE)
correct?
If yes, I don't think this is a good approach - because if the RADB and
other operators actually were *interested* in reducing the amount of crap
in their database, they could cross-check RIPE route:/route6: objects
already today, without any new API needed.
Evidence shows that they are not interested, even when presented with
"hey, there is garbage in your database, look at the RIPE DB for the
correct route: object" nothing happens.
Ceterum censeo: RADB must die, and as this proposal will not speed up the
process, so it's not helping.
(NTT, on the other side, is already cross-checking - so I'm not sure I see
the benefit for them. But if Job convinces me that it makes life easier
for them, I stand corrected)
