List Generators

As a convenience to our customers we have available an online tool for generating prefix and AS lists. It essentially builds a list appropriate for applying at the customers’ end of their peering link based on registered routes in the DB. We currently send out emails to interested parties of route updates, but this method enables a user to get an up to date list whenever they would like. For clients who filter the routes they receive via the IX, it provides an easily accessible mechanism for ensuring their filters are always up to date.

Prefix Lists

This script is available at:

http://tools.pipenetworks.com/generate_out_lists.php

Simply pass it the following:

Optional arguments

Example usage:

generate_out_lists.php?aut_num=65000&source_aut_num=9722&type=cisco_prefix_list

Would generate a list for a customer whose ASN is 65000 connected to our QLD IX (ASN 9722), and the list would be generated as a Cisco prefix list.

Note: type raw just spits out a list of networks and masks

You may wish to use a tool such as wget to retrieve the lists.

EG:

wget -O output \ http://tools.pipenetworks.com/generate_out_lists.php?source_aut_num=9722\&aut_num=65000\&type=cisco_prefix_list
As path lists

This script is available at:

http://tools.pipenetworks.com/generate_as_lists.php

Simply pass it the following:

Optional arguments

Example usage:

generate_as_lists.php?source_aut_num=9722&type=cisco

Would generate a list for our QLD IX (ASN 9722), and the list would be generated as a Cisco AS path list.

Note: type raw just spits out a list of ASNs

You may wish to use a tool such as wget to retrieve the lists.

Eg.

wget -O output \ http://tools.pipenetworks.com/generate_as_lists.php?source_aut_num=9722\&type=cisco
