On the call today the question was raised as to where one should
publish, and correspondingly where one can find, route policy
information for a given network. I believe it was Warrick that
mentioned the (historical) utility of traceroute.org as an example.
At least for commercial peers here in the US, the use of peeringdb.com
is probably the default interface used today for peering coordination.
I would claim that it would be of significant utility to R&E networks
for coordination as well.
From there one can find relevant information such as:
- URL to a Peering Policy web page w/ additional details
- URL links to looking glasses (if applicable)
- additional details in the notes field
For the more specific case of bgp community support, at present this is
still free-form text that has to go somewhere, but it's not always clear
where to look.
To pick on my friend Warrick, you can find a good example at:
https://www.peeringdb.com/net/393
Though perhaps in the notes field Warrick could say, "You can find
supported bgp communities near the bottom of our magnificent 1,174
line aut-num record in RADB"
Or for us at https://www.peeringdb.com/net/940
Perhaps we should add something to the tune of, "You can find our
supported traffic engineering bgp communities at /dev/null, best of luck!
But note for LHCONE VRF peers, we do support the mandatory knobs at
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCONE/LhcOneVRF#BGP_communities"

Hello Routing-WG members
Thanks everyone who came to the meeting this morning.
Our next meetings are:
APAN Routing Working Group BOF, 9am August 3 Indonesia local time (10PM August 2, US Eastern time)
4 weeks from today, same time, walking through the examples (see notes below), 6am August 17, US Eastern time
MANRS Talk by Steve Wallace, 8pm September 7, US Eastern time
We meant to record today’s talk but that didn’t happen unfortunately. If there’s enough interest/need we can try to do another in the opposite time zone. The slides are available online here:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1x07cL8-o38sWHZd-RXSnZLinkj0t02IBXjp…
We walked through 4 examples, although there’s a 5th in the slides (slides 17 and 18) for very strange routes between Singapore and New Zealand. These included unexpected the following unexpected routes:
NIA (S. Korea) to Microsoft (Singapore)
Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) to Education Bureau, Kaohsiung City Government (Taiwan)
CERN (Geneva) to KISTI (S. Korea)
KENET to SURFnet
National University of Singapore to University Otago (New Zealand)
We’d like to put together teams to start to address these, with the hopes of using these examples to talk about what infrastructure/documentation we need to address these more generally, and reviewing them at the mid August meeting. Please respond to any of the chairs if you want to be involved in any of these. If the co-chairs decide you’re needed, you may get looped in even if you don’t tell us. We’re hoping these teams will start working on these in the next week with the hopes of having something to report in 4 weeks. Likely these will also be discussed on the Slack channel – so don’t forget to watch there as well.
Please get in touch with any questions or comments – see you in 2 weeks at APAN and then at our next regular meeting 2 weeks after that.

Subject: [Routing-wg] Routing Working Group Meeting 3 - Tool Talk - NetSage Reminder
Greetings Routing Working Group,
Reminder that we will have our next meeting tomorrow July 20 at 6:00am US Eastern time. This will be the next in our series of Tool Talks. Below please find the abstract for the talk on NetSage. You should have a calendar invite, however, I have attached an invite to this mail as well just in case.
Title- NetSage as a tool to find routing anomalies
Speaker – Jennifer Schopf
Abstract
The NetSage measurement and monitoring system (http://portal.netsage.global) is most often used by network owners to understand what data is using the circuits, what performance data transfers are experiencing, and for identifying changes of behavior over a set of links. However, it can also be used to identify end-to-end transfers that may not be taking the shortest path, especially in international settings.
This talk will give a brief overview of NetSage and its current deployments, then will show some real life examples of unusual routes – which may or may not be the preferred paths for data.

Greetings,
The 2nd meeting of the Routing Working group will take place on June 28th at 8pm US eastern time and will feature our first tools talk by David Teach on the use of Route Views.
You should have already received a calendar invite. I have also attached the invite to this mail and connection information can be found below.

Synopsis of the talk:
RouteViews Introduction
-----------------------
RouteViews collects BGP routing information from many sites across the
world and has been providing BGP data for over 25 years. The first
BGP data dumps were collected in 1995. The archiving of snapshots
started in 1997 and there are now more than 68,000 snapshots in the
archive, capturing more than two decades worth of Internet routing
table history.
In this talk David Teach will share more about RouteViews, how it
works, how to use it for troubleshooting various routing issues.
David will also briefly discuss the new features that have been added
recently.

Greetings Routing Working Group,
Next week on Friday June 25th at 14:00CEST during TNC (https://tnc21.geant.org/) we will be holding a Routing Working Group Birds of a Feather (BOF) session. Please find the abstract and connection information below.
We hope to see you there!
Hans Addleman
Routing Working Group Co-Chair
Identifying and Addressing R&E Routing Anomalies
14:00 - 15:30 CEST
Adding or removing capacity from the global R&E network infrastructure can have unexpected routing results that are often difficult to detect and impossible to correct without coordination. For example, after changes in transatlantic capacity, we see significant volumes of traffic with both source and destination in Europe traversing exchange points in the US (traffic from CERN destined for universities in Europe routed via New York). Similarly, with other additions to transcontinental capacity, we see Asian traffic destined for Europe routed via the US (often crossing the Pacific twice), and also traffic with both endpoints in Africa routed via New York. We can identify these anomalous flows fairly easy with current and expanding tools, such as NetSage (http://portal.netsage.global). However, due to the number of different organizations along the international paths, it remains a challenge to bring the right people together to make adjustments that would potentially correct!
the erroneous paths. This type of routing problem is prevalent, and we expect this issue is one many NRENs will need to address in order to maintain a robust, reliable, high-speed global R&E network. With new intercontinental links coming on-line over the past few years, and more planned for the near future, we believe the time is right for our community to come together to begin addressing this issue in a more coordinated way. This BOF will bring together R&E networking engineers in an open community discussion on how to approach this problem systematically.
