Dear Local IR's Local IR Training Course July 10th, Munich, Germany Hosted by ECRC. The registration for this Local IR Training course has now been closed. The course was very quickly oversubscribed, so we were, regrettably, not able to accept everyone. If you are interested in hosting a course for local IR's, we would be happy to do this. To discuss this further, please send mail to <training(a)ripe.net>. We are currently in discussion regarding the possibility of courses taking place in the UK, Italy and Austria. Kind regards, RIPE NCC Training Team

Dear Local IR contacts, In the past few months, we have got requests for address space from affiliates of Hoechst Germany, all over Europe, who want to connect to Hoechst Germany. Hoechst has received quite a lot of address space already. If Hoechst companies knock at your door for address space, could you refer them to Hoechst Germany, or direct them to the RIPE NCC? Kind regards, Roderik Muit RIPE NCC

ripe-127
by Daniel Karrenberg 30 Jun '95

30 Jun '95

Dear colleagues, all registries should take note of ripe-127. It is a slightly adapted version of a draft document circulated earlier. We are getting quite some questions and requests for guidance on this matter. This made it necessary to have a RIPE document on this quickly. Since the earlier discussion revealed no show stoppers and there was quite some support in Rome I have just published it without a further round of discussion. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Regards Daniel Karrenberg RIPE NCC Manager

Announcement for Local IR Training Course
by RIPE NCC Training 29 Jun '95

29 Jun '95

Due to very high demand from participants from Germany to the first course here in Amsterdam, ECRC very quickly offered to host a course to accomodate the high demand. The course is almost full, but there are still some places left. Please register quickly! * * * Announcement * * * Local Internet Registries Training Course Date: Monday, 10th July, 1995 Time: 0900 - 1700 Venue: ECRC GmbH Arabellastrasse 17 81925 Muenchen Germany http://www.ecrc.de/misc/travel/travel.html Course Audience The target audience for this course is personnel of European Local Internet Registries or ISPs planning to set up a local IR. Material Covered The course is a one day introduction on Internet name, address and routing policy registration procedures in Europe. It also teaches students how to query and use the information registered for operational purposes. This includes the following material and activities: o Overview of name, address and routing registration procedures. o Responsibilities of both RIPE NCC and Local IR's to each other. o Wider context of the Delegated Registry system and relevant issues (IPv4 address depletion, CIDR) and how this relates to IP requests. o How to use the RIPE NCC Database. o Use of AS numbers, Routing Registry concepts and an introduction to using PRIDE tools. o DNS feedback on commor errors, how to request delegations, and pointers to useful tools. o Practical experience and feedback on how to create, maintain and update various types of information stored in the RIPE database. We again stress that this course will *not* teach Local Registries on how to run their business as Internet Service Providers. It is clearly focussed on registration procedures and the interaction between the RIPE NCC and local IR's. A detailed outline is appended below. The course itself will include lunch and will be free. This of course does not include your travel and subsitence ;-). How to Register Please send an RSVP to <training(a)ripe.net> if you would like to attend the course. If you have previously approached us about attending this course, we ask you to confirm that you (or a colleague) will be attending. Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. If the course is oversubscribed, we will give priority to local IRs who have paid the signup fee in 1995. If it is still oversubscribed, we will accept only one person per new local registry. We will provide additional course dates in Amsterdam as necessary. If a number of local registries so request, we will present courses at other European locations. If you would like a local course or have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us. The RIPE NCC Training Team: Anne Lord, Mirjam Kuehne, Daniel Karrenberg --- Course Outline For this second course, we will provide a slidebook and a reader on the day of the course, as well as electronically. Once feedback is received, it is planned to make detailed documentation available in the form of a guide much like the PRIDE guide. The program will divide the actual content into the following sections: 1. Introduction For those unfamiliar with the Delegated Internet Registry system and the RIPE NCC, this section will give a historical overview of how we have arrived at today's model of operation and why training of local IR's is a much needed activity. 2. IP Registry procedures This section will clarify the procedures between the RIPE NCC and local IR's with respect to requests for IP address space. It will take a step by step approach on how to complete documentation, the kind of information that is required, what the "handholding" procedure is, how to deal with very large requests, and very small requests, and more generally what criteria the RIPE NCC and local IR's use for their customers in the context of CIDR and IPv4 address depletion. 3. RIPE NCC Database This section will explain what the RIPE NCC Database is and how it fits into the scheme of other registry databases. It will cover how to create and update RIPE NCC Database objects and will explain how to query the database. 4. Routing Registry procedures This section will examine AS numbers, when you need them and how to request them. This will be set within the context of how AS numbers are used as part of the RIPE Routing Registry. Understanding the basic principles behind the Internet Routing Registry and how registering your policy is an important element in the global schema. This section will also include a brief introduction to the PRIDE tools and how they can be useful to you. 5. DNS procedures Where to request forward and reverse domain delegation. Which documentation should be completed. How reverse domain delegation requests are processed at the RIPE NCC (with a useful tool). We will also take a look at common errors in setting up DNS with respect to relevant RFCs and RIPE recommendations. Feedback Please! Throughout the course there will be ample chance for feedback and discussion with an emphasis for you to tell us how we can improve ;-). %%%%%%%%%%% PLEASE NOTE %%%%%%%%%%% Our handling of ALL course registrations is fully automated.

Today's prize to Antonio Blasco of GARR for spotting a major bug in tree resulting in segmentation faults when more than one tree is initialised. I've fixed this as it was such a major one and re-released. New version is 2.1(2) and is in ftp://ftp.bt.net/pub/networking/tools/tree/tree-2.1.2.tar.Z Apologies to anyone who retrieved yesterday's version.

New release of tree
by Nigel Titley 26 Jun '95

26 Jun '95

A new release of tree is available which fixes a bug causing it to crash when exiting prematurely from 'list'. Details are: ftp://ftp.bt.net/pub/networking/tools/tree/tree-2.1.1.tar.Z There is still a known bug in the subinit command which results in a subinit issued without a specific address grabbing the whole tree. I'll fix this when I have time, but in the meantime always use a specific address with subinit (this is the usual practice anyway). I'd be interested in any feedback by anyone that is using it.

Announcement: new procedure for in-addr.arpa reverse delegations
by RIPE NCC IN-ADDR. ARPA Role Account 19 Jun '95

19 Jun '95

Dear all, As of today the RIPE NCC offers an automated method for the submission of reverse zone delegations in 193.in-addr.arpa and 194.in-addr.arpa. Your delegation requests and the zone files on all nameservers will be checked automatically. The diagnostics generated by these checks will be returned to you automatically too. This will make you aware of any problems very quickly, so that you can correct them and re-submit your request. When the automated procedure does not detect any errors, the request is forwarded to the inaddr role account person for some additional manual checks and the processing of the delegation itself. Of course, you will receive an acknowledgement when this has been done. To use the new automated procedure send your request in ripe-105 format to: <auto-inaddr(a)ripe.net> You can use some keywords in the 'Subject:' line of your E-mail to control the checking process. The use of the LONGACK keyword is very recommended. HELP - will send you a (patched) ripe-105 document CHANGE - is needed if you want to change an existing reverse delegation LONGACK - will give you the most verbose output as possible RIPE document ripe-105 requires you to send in a RIPE database 'inetnum' object with a 'rev-srv' attribute for each nameserver for single/multiple C's reverse delegation requests and for whole blocks 'domain' objects with 'nserver' attributes for each nameserver. I recommend to use the following procedure for doing your request: Send an E-mail to <auto-inaddr(a)ripe.net> with LONGACK in the 'Subject:' line and an appropriate RIPE database object as described in ripe-105 in the body of the message. We still accept the old method for reverse delegation requests (ripe-105 format request to <inaddr(a)ripe.net>), however it might take some more time to process them. After some time, when the software doesn't change daily anymore, the source code will be published. I am neither a DNS expert or native English writer ;-) so all your comments are welcome! Please send them together with complaints, bug reports or special requests to <inaddr(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, David Kessens RIPE NCC
