## How to use it
|
|
|
|
Start with the coordinating body or directory for the function you need. For example:
|
|
|
|
- IP address or ASN registration → the appropriate RIR;
|
|
- protocol specification → IETF Datatracker/RFC system;
|
|
- interconnection discovery → PeeringDB, IXP member lists, or IX-F exports;
|
|
- root-zone or protocol registry → IANA;
|
|
- incident-response team discovery → FIRST or Trusted Introducer;
|
|
- BGP visibility → Route Views or RIPE RIS;
|
|
- submarine cable discovery → TeleGeography map, followed by operator/regulator verification.
