3. Henk Uijterwaal. APNIC, 6 February 2014, Amsterdam. http://www.ripe.net/ris 3 What is the RIS? AS1s NOC gets a user complaint: –Last night, I could not reach www.x.com. AS1s NOC looks at the current routing tables –Well, it works now AS2 AS3AS4 www.x.com Router AS5 User Router AS1

4. Henk Uijterwaal. APNIC, 6 February 2014, Amsterdam. http://www.ripe.net/ris 4 Motivation Problem with your (AS-level) routing Current tools: –Log in to your router –Use a looking glass on other routers All kinds of problems: –How to find right looking glass? –What if the looking glass cannot be reached either? –Accessing multiple LGs takes a lot of time –No history mechanism Solution: Routing Information Service (RIS)
