by Tim Bruijnzeels 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Dear colleagues, The RIPE Database Working Group requested the RIPE NCC to replace the “changed:” attribute in the RIPE Database with “created:” and “last-modified:”. Following discussions at RIPE 69, the RIPE NCC has met with the working group chairs and finalised an implementation plan consisting of three phases: 1) introduce the new attributes “created:” and “last-modified:” 2) make the "changed:" attribute optional 3) deprecate the "changed:" attribute. The time lines and documentation for each phase are detailed here: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/tim/deprecating-the-changed-attribute-in-the-… We look forward to any questions or comments you might have. Kind regards, Tim Bruijnzeels Assistant Manager Software Engineering RIPE NCC

AS-NULL
by Nick Hilliard 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

For various reasons, the AS-NULL as-set scratched a rather pressing itch earlier today. In the interests of neutrality, would the RIPE NCC be interested in maintaining ownership of this object as an empty set? Nick

RIPE Database Release 1.76.1 Deployed to Production
by Edward Shryane 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Dear colleagues, We have identified an issue in Whois with RPSL objects containing blank continuation lines. The software was not correctly parsing these lines, and this resulted in invalid objects being created in the RIPE Database. This can cause serious problems with the NRTM service. We have deployed a minor release 1.76.1 to production, to fix this issue. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC

FR: Publish list of RIPE NCC managed space
by Job Snijders 07 Dec '14

07 Dec '14

Hi All, RIPE NCC, It would make my life easier if I could fetch a list of prefixes from either ftp.ripe.net or an API endpoint that contains all address space for which RIPE NCC is authoritive. (E.g. not NON-RIPE-NCC-MANAGED-ADDRESS-BLOCK etc). I'd use this list to create a patricia tree to do lookups in and assess the validity of route objects. It is important that this list does not cover space which RIPE does not administrate. Please don't fill it with /8s unless RIPE NCC truely manages that entire /8. The list should solely create prefixes for which route objects can only be created following RIPE's solid authentication mechanism. I'd expect the dump on ftp.ripe.net to be updated on a daily basis. I don't care if the prefixes in the list match prefix-lengths of inetnums, I only care about the totally of the chunk of space out of 0/0 which RIPE manaages. Can this be implemented? Kind regards, Job
