Re: [GROW] [Fwd: I-D Action:draft-haberman-rpsl-reachable-test-01.txt]

[Larry Blunk <ljb at merit.edu>]

  The summary is misleading (specifies new attributes,
not an object).   The attributes should be allowed in both route
and route6 objects.   ping-poc should probably be ping-hdl
and reference a handle instead of an email address.

 The example is a bit confused.    Should be --

route6: 2001:DB8::/32
origin: AS64500
pingable: 2001:DB8::DEAD:BEEF
ping-poc: nobody at example.com


 I personally feel this should probably be an RIR
object/template attribute (e.g.  inetnum, inet6num,
NetRange, etc.).   On the other hand, deployment
in IRR's will likely be quicker.
