I was thinking about automating the building of filters. Describing the objects in a notes field or an aut-num object I assume would need a human to interpret.
I might have the wrong end of the stick here, but a human wouldn’t need to interpret an aut-num object as the policy would be expressed in RPSL.
E.g.
aut-num: AS786
as-name: JANET
…
import: from AS20965 action pref=50; accept AS-GEANTNRN
export: to AS20965 announce AS-JANETEURO
The above is very basic RPSL of course, it can get a lot more complicated…
Cheers,
