Hi, Pawel! My guess would be that a full snapshot available via ftp is considered not that NEAR Real Time as the update data stream that you may pull continuously from the server - they're not trying to sell data there but the service of that data being streamed. Although I'd expect that stuff to be available to members without extra pay - at least one host per member. 07.01.2012 21:12 �� "Pawel Tyll" <<a href="mailto:ptyll@nitronet.pl">ptyll@nitronet.pl</a>> ��: > > Hello people (and ticket bots :>), > > I �wanted �to �do �some �BGP �filtering automation today, learned some > interesting �things �in �the �process.
