ANNOUNCEMENT: RIPE NCC's New Projects Proudly Presents "RIS Routing Beacons"

["Matthew Williams" <]

[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear All,

RIPE NCC are pleased to announce "RIS Routing Beacons":
------------------------------------------------------

At RIPE 43, Randy Bush held an interesting talk about some unwanted
effects of route flap damping, as specified in RIPE-229. Subsequently,
RIPE NCC's RIS project offered to assist these studies by adding the
"Routing Beacon" functionality to our Remote Route Collectors (RRC). The
geographically disperse distribution of our collectors makes them ideal
for this purpose.
