[ris-int] Update of beacon prefixes

Hi,

This is a request to update the beacon prefixes on the RRC's.  Details
have been discussed with James by VOS (as he is the most likely candidate
to do the work).

We have a new block for the Beacon prefixes:

inetnum:      84.205.64.0 - 84.205.95.255
netname:      RIPE-NCC-FLAP
descr:        RIPE NCC Route Flap Dampening and BGP Beacon Studies
country:      EU
org:          ORG-NCC1-RIPE
admin-c:      HU266-RIPE
tech-c:       HU266-RIPE
status:       ASSIGNED PI
mnt-by:       RIPE-NCC-RIS-MNT
mnt-by:       RIPE-NCC-HM-PI-MNT
mnt-lower:    RIPE-NCC-HM-PI-MNT
mnt-routes:   RIPE-NCC-RIS-MNT
mnt-domains:  RIPE-NCC-RIS-MNT
changed:      hostmaster at ripe.net 20041105
source:       RIPE

(Not sure why the tech-c is suddenly me, it should be SED).

The numbering plan that I suggested was:

%
%       Size
%       in CIDR    Immediate   1yr    2yr       Purpose
subnet: /24         /24        /24    /24       RCC00/Amsterdam

        /24         /24        /24    /24       RRC14/PAIX
        /24         /24        /24    /24       Fallover studies

        /24         /24        /24    /24       Anchor08/
        /24         /24        /24    /24       Anchor09/
        /24         /24        /24    /24       Anchor10/MIX
        /24         /24        /24    /24       Anchor11/NYIIX
        /24         /24        /24    /24       Anchor12/DECIX
        /24         /24        /24    /24       Anchor13/MSIX
        /24         /24        /24    /24       Anchor14/PAIX
        /24         /24        /24    /24       Anycast studies

just to get it by RS and because one can then do;

   for (i=0 ; i<15 ; i++) {
     if (i==8 || i==9) next ;
     ... analyze

but other distributions of prefixes over the RRC's would work too.  I'll
leave that up to the implementor.  The RRC prefix is the one that is
supposed to be flapping, the anchor should be visible all the time.

The fallover and anycast prefixes are the fallover studies for the k-root
anycast effort, anycast is for Hitesh's work.

So, can you:

0. Announce to ris-users when this renumbering will take place.

1. Configure the beacons according to this scheme or something similar.

2. Remove the current beacon prefixes.

3. Get in touch with Matthew to update the WWW page.

Thanks,

Henk
