[c-nsp] RIPE Request Form

[David Freedman]

> you might not be eligible for an AS for some time.

Where does this come from?

The current document RIPE 463 (http://www.ripe.net/docs/ripe-463.html)
states : "Current guidelines require a network to be multi-homed for an
AS Number to be assigned. Requests must show the routing policy of the
Autonomous System"

But does not mention a verification nor blacklisting process.

------------------------

Anyway, the syntax of which you speak is called "RPSL" (RFC2622) which
was supposed to have been superceeded by "RPSLng" (RFC4012).

The NCC actually deliver an excellent training syllabus covering
RPSL/RPSLng and you can find materials available from it here:

Would suggest Arno Meulenkamp's excellent
"An Introduction to the Routing Registry"
, linked at http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/presentations/linx-rr-200411.pdf
