Re: Correcting national address databases? Nimrod Levy (May 30)
Also, address validation in web forms is often "stupid".
Imagine a system for a service that disallows PO boxes.
Now imagine the address you're trying to input is on "Post Office Rd"
NOW imagine trying to explain that to support.
Their solution was to submit a paper form.
My solution was to input "PostOffice Rd" which amazingly worked.

Re: Correcting national address databases? Sean Donelan (May 30)
Since I did address database software for public libraries for a couple of
decades.... Addresses are complicated.

In North American (USA & Canada) there are approximately 80,000
localities, counties, states and federal addressing authorities (mostly
local building and planning departments). These are the official (legal)
addressing authorities. Tax and real estate records usual the legal
property definition.

Because its a PITA to...

Re: Correcting national address databases? Andy Brezinsky (May 30)
The new standard under NG9-1-1 is GIS with a standard data model. All of
that is documented by NENA:
https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.nena.org/resource/resmgr/standards/nena-sta-006.2a_ng9-1-1_gis_.pdf.
Emergency Call Routing Function (ECRF) uses this data to locate the
correct PSAP to route a call to.

Some states have their own additions to the NENA standards that aim to
add consistency to the fields themselves (eg. Post Directional address)....

Re: Correcting national address databases? John Levine (May 30)
According to Mike Lewinski via NANOG <mlewinski () massivenetworks com>:

It's hard to imagine that anyone else would do a better job. You're in
an odd and difficult niche which is going to be a niche no matter who
handles it.

When E911 was phased in, some combination of the USPS and local
governments assigned street addresses to everyone who'd prevviously
had an RR or RFD addresss, so "RR#2 Box 27" turned into...

Re: Correcting national address databases? Mike Hammett (May 30)
This is the Internet, after all, so I will be corrected if I'm wrong.

911 is based on MSAG (Master Street Address Guide), not USPS. However, many operators are likely using the USPS system
to sanitize the inputs.

RE: Correcting national address databases? Mike Lewinski via NANOG (May 30)
Your schema is probably good for 99% of the population. I do wonder though if USPS is the right / sole agency to
maintain. Having 911 dependent on an incomplete database seems unwise. Or is it ALI? Not sure if it was Verizon's front
end or back end that was the real problem there.

The first time I encountered the problems of living in a place with no postal delivery I had a related challenge which
was to obtain a new driver's...

Re: Another outage somewhere in Asia ? Grant Taylor via NANOG (May 30)
We got bit by this overnight.

Customers transiting our network on the west coast of North America may
have experienced Latency and Packet Loss. This was due to a fiber cut in
our vendors network around the Los Angeles area. The vendor has found
the damaged fiber and have repaired the cables. Cogent NOC is now
monitoring this event. Customers should have seen their services
restored at 11:46 AM ET. The master case is HD303782528....

Re: Correcting national address databases? Christopher Paul via NANOG (May 30)
I propose that there be a national LDAP service, with OUs for each
zipcode (|ou=20500,dc=us,dc=gov)|. A household could register at
USPS.gov and then be given write access to a household OU ("ou=1600
Pennsylvania Ave NW,|ou=20500,dc=us,dc=gov|"). The household OU could
then create inetOrgPersons under that, each of which would have
self-write access.

RE: Correcting national address databases? Mike Lewinski via NANOG (May 30)
That postal database is especially problematic for those who live in rural areas with no postal delivery. We need a
better database system than the one that USPS maintains because it affects a wider range of services.

Two years ago I moved to a house with no postal service, so I got a PO box in town for regular postal mail. I am able
to get FedEx, UPS and other non-USPS package deliveries to my residence. Google Maps knows right where I live....

Re: Correcting national address databases? Sean Donelan (May 30)
Visit your local post office ask for the postmaster.

They can’t fix it but should have a form to correct the database used by almost all shippers in the U.S. unfortunately
may take 6 months to propagate changes.

Can also call 1-800-275-8777 but usually local postmaster is helpful.
