   Nodelist Parser...   
   08 Jul 18 20:41:06   
   
   Hi Ozz!   
      
   27 Jun 2018 17:16, from Ozz Nixon -> All:   
      
    ON> What is a nodelist parser supposed to do with a line that has two INA   
    ON> addresses?   
      
   If you can have multiple addresses, then use both. (eg. backup address, if   
   first is unreachable).   
   Otherwise use either of them.   
      
    ON> There are a couple lines that have for example ITN:domain.address, no   
    ON> IBN, no INA, and phone is -Unpublished-, however, it is not marked as   
    ON> Pvt or Down. What rule of thumb should be applied?   
      
   I would assume that you can somehow reach that node via telnet on the address   
   from the ITN flag.   
   If you do not support that protocol you have to treat that node as unrechable.   
      
    ON> I have Rhenium polling every node right now in the background -   
    ON> just so I can validate my nodelist parser.   
      
   It would be nice if you could post your findings here.   
      
    ON> Rhenium is doing this so I can collect VER information (what systems   
    ON> are running what, along with collecting M_ADR list for what networks   
    ON> others are in around the world).   
      
   Again ... would be nice if you could share this.   
      
   CU, Ricsi
