<auto-dbm@ripe.net> is slow this afternoon.
by RIPE Database Administration 17 May '18

17 May '18

Dear Colleagues, Because of a very high level of use this afternoon, the response time of <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> is longer than normal. I have made contact with those who are responsible and I expect the situation to improve as the machine works through the queue. Please be patient. Obviously we at the RIPE NCC Database Group are continuously working to make the performance of the database as good as possible. However, we cannot make improvements in zero time. We thank you for your co-operation up to now and we ask for your continued co-operation so that everyone receives the best possible service. If you have anymore questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Ambrose Magee ____________________________ RIPE Database Administration.

yet another irrtoolset replacement, 1.0
by md＠Linux.IT 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

I released version 1.0 of my routers configuration generator. It can generate the complete BGP configuration (neighbor statements, route maps, prefix and as-path lists) of peering or customer-facing routers using RPSL data, a local configuration file and a configuration template based on the popular Template::Toolkit perl package. Currently I only provide an IOS configuration template, but it should be easy to write one for JUNOS (patches are welcome!). I know that it's being used in production by several ISPs in the RIPE and APNIC region, so if you are not satisfacted by irrtoolset I think it's worth some consideration. It can be downloaded from http://www.linux.it/~md/software/rpsltool-1.0.tgz and is free software released under the terms of the GPL. (I think that I advertised it enough, so future releases will be announced on the project mailing list.) Major changes since the last public release: Modularized and cleaned up the code. Added the routesdiff program (formerly part of my cisco-tools package), to show which routes are actually not being accepted from a peer. Added the testpeerfilter program, to test the effect of a filter on a peer without actually loading it on the router. Added the nagpeer program, to automatically generate reports of bugs in the RPSL objects published by a peer. Added the rpslexpand, to quickly perform RPSL expansion from the command line. Added the findextraobjs program, useful to identify obsolete entries in peers configuration files. Added documentation. -- ciao, Marco
