Suggestion of change for inverse query of notify
by Fredrik Widell 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hello db-wg. I would like to change the behaviour of the whois-output for the following query whois -h whois.ripe.net -- "-r -T inetnum,route -i notify info(a)resilans.se" Via that question, I will see every object that has the notify info(a)resilans.se set, which right now is inetnum: 194.14.3.0 - 194.14.3.255 netname: RESILANS descr: Resilans AB remarks: VV org: ORG-ABUS1000-RIPE country: SE admin-c: RESI1-RIPE tech-c: RESI1-RIPE status: ASSIGNED PI mnt-by: RESILANS-MNT mnt-domains: RESILANS-MNT mnt-routes: RESILANS-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered However, my request is that the above query should give the exact same output as the below query whois -h whois.ripe.net -- "-r -T inetnum,route 194.14.3.0" which will also display the corresponding route-object, is there any real reason why this is not displayed with an inverse query? it looks like: inetnum: 194.14.3.0 - 194.14.3.255 netname: RESILANS descr: Resilans AB remarks: VV org: ORG-ABUS1000-RIPE country: SE admin-c: RESI1-RIPE tech-c: RESI1-RIPE status: ASSIGNED PI mnt-by: RESILANS-MNT mnt-domains: RESILANS-MNT mnt-routes: RESILANS-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered route: 194.14.3.0/24 descr: Resilans AB origin: AS12381 mnt-by: RESILANS-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered -- Best regards Fredrik Widell Resilans AB http://www.resilans.se/ mail: info(a)resilans.se , fredrik(a)resilans.se phone: +46 8 688 11 80

Prefix length for the "pingable" attribute
by Tore Anderson 16 Mar '14

16 Mar '14

Hi WG, The documentation unequivocally states the value of the "pingable" attribute in route[6] objects must include a prefix length: $ whois -h whois.ripe.net -- -v route [...] pingable Allows a network operator to advertise an IP address of a node that should be reachable from outside networks. This node can be used as a destination address for diagnostic tests. The IP address must be within the address range of the prefix containing this attribute. An address prefix is represented as an IPv4 address followed by the character slash "/" followed by an integer in the range from 0 to 32. The following are valid address prefixes: 128.9.128.5/32, 128.9.0.0/16, 0.0.0.0/0; and the following address prefixes are invalid: 0/0, 128.9/16 since 0 or 128.9 are not strings containing four integers. $ whois -h whois.ripe.net -- -v route6 [...] pingable Allows a network operator to advertise an IP address of a node that should be reachable from outside networks. This node can be used as a destination address for diagnostic tests. The IP address must be within the address range of the prefix containing this attribute. <ipv6-address>/<prefix> Therefore I added mine as /32 and /128. That ended up in me getting complaints that I broke some people's scripts, which were assuming that value of this attribute should be a "bare" IP address. (For example: http://ip.v6net.ru/archives/1764) Contradictory to what the documentation says, the e-mail robot happily accepted my update to remove the prefix length. So hopefully people's scripts are unbroken now. This sparked my curiosity, though: - What exactly is the purpose of the prefix length? - How should one interpret a value that has a prefix length other than /32 (in "route" objects) or /128 (in "route6" objects)? - Why does the documentation say it is mandatory when it clearly is not? - And finally, am I really the only LIR hostmaster in the RIPE that actually do RTFM? :-) $ curl -s ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.route{,6}.gz | zgrep -c '^pingable:.*/' 0 Tore

We aim to begin implementation the week of 25 March. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any comments or questions. Kind regards, Nikolas Pediaditis IP Resource Analyst RIPE NCC
