Re: Routing prefixes in the RIPE database?

Tony,

   The RWHois work that Mark and I have developed will do bit level
   reduction of a query. This will work in the CIDR environment.  It 
   also addresses the delagation needs of the current Internet environment.
   Below is the debug on the RWhois server trying to find an aggregate.
   If you want more information let us know .... we even have slides 
   explaining the protocol.
