| 1 AnoNet Resource Database | |
| 2 | |
| 3 as => list of ASNs with owners | |
| 4 dom => list of domains with owners and nameservers | |
| 5 ip => list of direct IP assignments with owners and nameservers | |
| 6 usr => list of users with useful information | |
| 7 | |
| 8 The domains are organized by TLD, making it easy to split TLDs off onto | |
| 9 separate TLD servers, if that ever proves to be useful. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 The IP claims are classful, the rationale being that reverse DNS is | |
| 12 classful anyway, and so trying to split delegations and rDNS on different | |
| 13 boundries is just an easy way of adding nnnecessary complexity. If you | |
| 14 want less than a class C, you should just take a full class C and share | |
| 15 it with your friends. If you want a /23, just take 2 adjacent /24s. | |
| 16 (Remember, your rDNS for the two blocks will have to be separate anyway.) | |
| 17 | |
| 18 If anybody wants IPv6, just add an ip6 directory (again, with | |
| 19 subdirectories split according to rDNS rules). | |
| 20 | |
| 21 The user directory is intended to facilitate contact between users. | |
| 22 Its original purpose was to maintain git URLs directly in the database | |
| 23 (makes automated git peering dead simple), but it's useful for far more. | |
| 24 Feel free to add arbitrary fields for users, but it may be wise to use an | |
| 25 "x-" prefix if you're not sure about the best name for some field. |
