ASN32 deployment
by Denis Walker 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear colleagues, This morning, between 07:00 and 09:00 (UTC), we deployed new software for the RIPE Database. Three changes were made: 1. The new software allows the creation of 32-bit (4-byte) Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). There is more information about this in the references at the end of this e-mail. 2. The ORGANISATION object type NON-REGISTRY has been changed to OTHER. The RIPE NCC modified all existing organisation objects which had the old type. There is more information about this at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2006/msg00245.html 3. We reversed changes made to the status of ERX objects. While implementing the ASSIGNED ANYCAST status, other changes were made. This prevented more specific assignments from being created within EARLY REGISTRATION ranges. These changes have been rolled back. If you have any questions about any of these changes, send an e-mail to <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards Denis Walker Database Group RIPE NCC -------- References: The new 32-bit ASN format is described in these documents: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representatio… http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-uijterwaal-rpsl-4byteas-ext-01.txt Sites using the RIPE Database software will probably have to upgrade their systems. See: http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-db-update.html Our test database (e-mail to <test-dbm(a)ripe.net> or access through webupdates) also now handles the new AS number format.

It has a copy of the RIPE Database taken on 7 November 2006. This test server does not provide any mirror stream facilities. It is available for queries: asn32.ripe.net port 43043 And for updates: asn32-dbm@localhost You may use this database to create your own test ASN32 object(s). You may also test against the existing "aut-num" object AS1.1 See 'whois -h asn32.ripe.net -p 43043 -rGB AS1.0 - AS1.65535' for more details.

Implementing TLS/SSL on RIPE NCC external MX'es
by Brian Riddle 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, After our successful implementation testing of Transport Layer Security (TLS) over the last few months, we will be implementing TLS on our external mail exchanges (MXs). We will upgrade our mail server software on 8 January 2007, followed by implementation of TLS on 10 January 2007. If you experience problems with mail delivery to the RIPE NCC after the implementation, please send a e-mail to ops(a)ripe.net. To do this, however, you might have to disable TLS on your MX server or send the email from a MX server that does not have TLS enabled. Regards, Brian Riddle IT Manager RIPE NCC
