[as112-ops] Anycast ASN (like AS112)

[Clement Cavadore]

Hi folks,

I am running an instance of AS112 anycast node in Paris, France.

As you may know, AS112 is a group of volunteers, who run and announce an
anycast route (192.175.48.0/24 & 2620:4f:8000::0/48) according to
RFC6304 & 6305. Anyone could create a node, and connect it to local
exchange, and that's what we have done in Paris, connecting it to
Equinix & FranceIX. And also what has been done in other parts of the
globe, by other volunteers (see http://public.as112.net/node/10 for a
known list)

When I started to setup sessions on my "local" node, I was advised by
some peering partners to create a peeringDB entry for AS112. However,
since I am not responsible for this project as a whole, and since
PeeringDB interface is designed for classic networks, which have some
unique management team, I think it's better to contact you in order to
see what could be done for that kind of case.
-> Would it be possible to create that special kind of network ? 
It would be interesting, for potential partners to get the "local
peering adress" which it could contact in order to setup a session. 
For example, at AMS-IX, networks should contact RIPE NCC, at FranceIX,
they should contact Hivane (us), or at Inex, they should contact inex
team, etc. 

I think someone could have the responsability for "maintaining the
peeringDB entry", and that person should be contacted by the
node-mainainers in order to update visible peering information on
peeringDB. Or maybe you could see some other/better mechanism in order
to maintain such a "special page" ?

Best regards,
