Current RIS Routing Beacons
Note: IPv6 beacons and anchors are now being announced from the RRCs. See below for details.
All RRCs:
- Announcements at 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00 (UTC)
- Withdrawals at 02:00, 06:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00 (UTC)
Comments:
The RIS Beacons were initiated to assist studies concerning unwanted
effects on convergence when applying Route Flap Damping practices.

All IPv4 beacon prefixes are announced with additional attributes. We now overload the BGP AGGREGATOR attribute to tag each announcement with a timestamp, a sequence number and the identifier of the RRC making the announcement. These are encoded as follows:
AGGREGATOR IP ADDRESS: 10.x.y.z, where x, y and z form a 24-bit count of the number of seconds between the start of the month and the time of the announcement.
AGGREGATOR AS NUMBER: 64512 + n, where n is a 10-bit number encoded as
MSB LSB
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| RRC ID | Sequence Number |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
Adding 64512 brings the resulting number into the private AS number range.

Additionally, we announce an anchor prefix from each RRC. These are permanently announced and can be used to differentiate between activity seen as a result of changes on the originating RRC and that seen for other reasons (it the anchor flaps, it could mean that the RRC was reloaded and activity of the corresponding beacon can be ignored when doing analysis of the RIS data).

All beacon prefixes are now announced with additional attributes.
We now overload the BGP AGGREGATOR attribute to tag each announcement
with a timestamp, a sequence number and the identifier of the RRC making
the announcement. These are encoded as follows:
AGGREGATOR IP ADDRESS: 10.x.y.z, where x, y and z form a 24-bit count of the
number of seconds between the start of the month and the time of the
announcement.
AGGREGATOR AS NUMBER: 64512 + n, where n is a 10-bit number encoded as
MSB LSB
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| RRC ID | Sequence Number |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
Adding 64512 brings the resulting number into the private AS number range.
Experimental: From 25/09/2003
an additional prefix 195.80.239.0/24
has been announced from all RRCs.
This acts as an "anchor" to help differentiate between intentional beacon-related
routing activity and other activity. The anchor prefix is announced with the Aggregator
attribute set as follows:
Aggregator IP Address: 10.255.255.255
Aggregator AS Number: 64512 + rrc-id * 64
