RRX Network IRR
Recently RRX Network was conducting a preliminary study of possible
upgrades to the Internet Route Registry (IRR) system.
Some of the possibilities were to
include web services based protocols of various forms.
The current next generation
IRR (ngIRR) web interface developed for CA*net4
and available for gigapop integration world wide, is based mainly on Java
and XML using Java server pages.
Some test case web services for network
element control have already been ported to a prototype next generation IRR successfully.
Preliminary upgrade considerations:
A gigapop engineer,
or possibly proxy of some form registers Route Policy Specification Language
(RPSL) "objects" in the RR database.

Information once registered in the system can be queried
by neighboring gigapops, or used to generate router or firewall configurations,
by iteratively issuing queries from a script.
