How it works : Fetch

The Fetch method uses a custom HTTP Agent to collect the router dumps. The User-Agent is:

GhostRouteHunter/20021130 (https://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/; info@sixxs.net)

The URL and email address should give enough away for a means of contacting us if any problems arise. We also document the User-Agent here so that a search on Google will pop it up.

We follow the robots guide lines thus one can block it out using:

User-agent: GhostRouteHunter/*
Disallow: *

Note that the Agent is not a crawler and must be specifically instructed to use the URL of the BGP Table. Thus contact SixXS in case of questions or problems. Normally the URL will have been passed on by the Signup page and you will thus have manually signed up for it.
