Resource Reachability Testing
A reachability test is performed to improve RIRs notification to the community. Through this procedure, RIPE NCC and APNIC actively announce “pilot” prefixes from new blocks before making allocations from those blocks. The “reach” of these announcements can then be determined by analysing routing data observed on the Internet. Route distribution to pilot prefixes can be compared with the distribution of regular production prefixes. Significant differences can be analysed to determine which ISPs are still filtering routing announcements from the new block.
Testing methods include:
- Daily reports on the visibility of the selected prefixes over time
- “Pingable” targets within each test prefix for reachability tests from remote parts of the Internet
- A tool to test reachability from each of the test prefixes of arbitrary addresses on the Internet.
