[ixpmanager] multiple route servers handling

[Athanasios Douitsis]

Hello,

I'd like to make an inquiry as regards the route server prefixes feature
in IXPManager. The feature allows to monitor, among other things, the
advertised but not accepted prefixes that are being sent by each
customer to a specific route server. Our understanding at GR-IX is that
presently it is only possible to integrate exactly one route server with
this feature.

Reviewing the script (compare-route-server-prefixes.pl) that runs inside
a route server, talks to the routing daemon (presumably Bird) and feeds
the rs_prefixes table, along with the structure of the latter, seems to
indicate that integrating additional route servers is not feasible, at
least not at present.

In the case where an Internet Exchange has multiple route servers or
even multiple infrastructures, what is the recommended practice?

Many thanks and regards,
