Merit Network, Inc. is pleased to announce the first production-quality release of the Internet Routing Registry Daemon (IRRd). Source code, manuals and binaries are now *freely* available from: http://www.irrd.net IRRd is an optimized, multi-threaded IRR database server with support for a complete set of RIPE-181 registry services, including: whois queries, an interactive Cisco-like configuration/management interface, remote registry mirroring, email/tool object submissions, and password/PGP. IRRd also includes private database support, security access lists, and an expanded query language. We encourage providers actively using the RADB (and other IRR registries) in production for the generation of router access lists/config files to run a local, mirroring copy of the IRRd server. IRRd has served as the production RADB routing registry daemon since early February. Note: Complete RPSL support will be available with IRRd-2.0 (beta release scheduled for late May). If you are interested in serving as an alpha tester for IRRd-2.0 please send email to irrd-support@irrd.net. -- The IRRd Development Team
