Stan Barber's Notes

It caches IRR Data locally and supports data caching by FTP and RIPE mirroring software. It provides RAwhosid interface. It supports a subset of RAwhoisd protocol commands. There are two distinct communities of users:

• computer intensive users for performance and availability
• convenience for simple queries

The advantages are clear: avoids network delay or an outage and is faster (by two orders of magnitude) than using the IRR over the Internet.

All of the RAToolSet software can use the tRAwhoisd.
