Route Servers
 
 
- Route Servers used at Internet Exchange Points mostly provide different views to different peers
- for this, the Route Servers must know what routing information to pass onto these peers
- what better place to get this information than from a registry where the information is controlled by the peers themselves
- peers simply register what their policy is at this exchange point, and the route servers use this information for configuration for this peer
- no need to setup specific a “Route Server Policy Registration Database”
