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