It would be quite helpful, because this way we can get sense of the 'completeness' of the RPKIViews amalgamations. I asked a few other RIRs... but it seems that the ones I asked didn't have issuance logs available. Does the RIPE NCC have an estimate how many ROAs/MFTs/CRLs/Certificates it issued in 2025 within the scope of 'rsync://rpki.ripe.net/repository'?

We reported the issue to them quite quickly in November, as we collect their data for bgproutes.io. They told us they had to change a server because many crawlers were downloading the data and overloading their infrastructure. It was apparently supposed to last only a few days, but it has now been several months. I hope they will be able to resume the platform, we really like it there!

What is up with PCH?

Hello there, does anyone by chance know what's up with PCH data? https://www.pch.net/resources/Routing_Data/ The page for the daily routing snapshots became unresponsive sometime in November last year and has been consistently serving error 503 recently. I've opened a ticket back then but got no response, so maybe somebody here knows the reason. Best, Malte

RPKIViews 2021-2025 Amalgamations: a near-complete capture of the entire RPKI

This might interest some of you: a (nearly?) complete capture of the raw RPKI data of the last 5 years. Kind regards, Job ----- Forwarded message from Job Snijders <job(a)bsd.nl> ----- Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 10:43:37 +0000 From: Job Snijders <job(a)bsd.nl> To: sidrops(a)ietf.org Subject: RPKIViews 2021-2025 Amalgamations: a near-complete capture of the entire RPKI Dear all, The RPKI is an infrastructure which helps secure the global Internet routing system. The RPKI is a distributed database. RPKIViews.org is a global multi-perspective data collection initiative. I've normalized, deduplicated, merged, sorted, and recompressed tens of terabytes of RPKI data, resulting in handy datasets named the "RPKIViews Amalgamations".

some thoughts on add-path and bmp at ripe/ris
by Randy Bush 19 Nov '25

19 Nov '25

i have some small thoughts on add-path and BMP in RIPE/RIS. this may hinder more than help, unfortunately. as a researcher, of course i would love a wider view into the AS graph and the views of as many ASs as possible. nom nom. but ... add-path, if not done very carefully, and documented in detail for each peer, will produce views i will not understand. it is analogous to not knowing what view a BGP peer gives RIS today. did it give me a full Nth view into peer X? is the path that of a peer, a customer, a provider? and add-path is worse because it prunes in configuration and vendor- dependent and otherwise unpredictable ways. and, as an operator if P is a RIS peer, and they give RIS BMP showing their input from their peers, upstreams, and customers, those peers, upstreams, and customers have not given thir consent to have their internals published! if they want to have RIS publish their internals, they would peer with RIS and choose what view they present. and, of course, the researcher does not know what view, peer, upstream, or customer P's BMP peer is giving them. same problem as above under add-path. randy

Removal of three low-usage RIPEstat endpoints on 13 October
by Ties de Kock 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Dear colleagues, Over the past year, we have been migrating RIPEstat infrastructure to a new environment. As part of this process, we reviewed all components to ensure long-term maintainability. Three components with very low usage and ongoing data issues will be deprecated and removed in a month. We are announcing the immediate deprecation of the following API endpoints: * /data/speedchecker-bandwidth-measurements/… * /data/meternet-bandwidth-measurements/… * /data/generic-data (undocumented) These endpoints have not been visible in RIPEstat for a considerable period and have experienced ongoing issues with data updates. Removing these endpoints will reduce our application and systems maintenance overhead. These endpoints are deprecated with immediate effect and will be completely removed on 13 October 2025. Analysis shows very low external usage of these endpoints (fewer than 10 IP addresses in August 2025). We therefore do not expect this change to affect most users. However, we recognise that API deprecations can be disruptive, and we welcome feedback from anyone who relies on these services. We are particularly interested in hearing from users who require bandwidth measurement data, as we understand this represents a niche but potentially valuable use case. We would like to understand your specific usage patterns and requirements for this type of data. If the removal of these endpoints will impact your operations, please contact us immediately. Kind regards, Ties de Kock RIPE NCC

Planned maintenance to data.ris.ripe.net, ftp.ripe.net, data-store.ripe.net on 25 July, 11:00-15:00 UTC
by Ties de Kock 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Dear colleagues, The webserver that distributes RIS files, data.ris.ripe.net, as well as ftp.ripe.net and data-store.ripe.net, will be down for maintenance on 25 July. During the maintenance, a storage appliance will be moved to a different data centre. This is part of the RIPE NCC’s effort to reduce our data centre footprint and increase the geographical distance between our data centres. BGP sessions with RIS collectors will be established as usual, and no data will be lost. However, downloads from https://data.ris.ripe.net will not be available. Other RIS services are not affected. Start: Friday July 25, 2025 11:00 UTC End: Friday July 25, 2025 15:00 UTC Affected: * data.ris.ripe.net * ftp.ripe.net * data-store.ripe.net We expect service to be unavailable for two hours in this window.

Changes to the RIPEstat UI
by Ties de Kock 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, Over the next few months, we will be making changes to RIPEstat, our information service and open data platform. Most noteworthy, we will introduce a new user interface (UI) that combines elements of the two previous versions introduced in 2013 and 2020. Initially, we will focus on reverting to the 2013 UI and adding the unique features that were available only in the 2020 UI. Afterwards, we will continue building on what we have, and on what we learned, and build something better that aligns with what our users need. Finally, we will sunset the 2020 UI as we continue developing the newer user interface. Our decision was made after extensive user research whilst we maintained two interfaces for a few years, and tried to bridge the gap between the ‘old’ and ‘new’. Our aim now is not simply to bring back an older platform, but to focus on the elements that matter to RIPEstat users the most, and build on them to modernise the product altogether. You can read more details about our decision in our RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/author/adonis_stergiopoulos/streamlining-ripestat-bui… We welcome your comments on this mailing list, on the RIPE NCC Forum or by emailing us at stat(a)ripe.net. Kind regards, Ties de Kock Specialist software engineer RIPE NCC

Some historical RIPEstat data will not be available from 24 September
by Felipe Silveira 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, As we shared back in May, we have been working to reduce our data centre footprint by managing the data for RIS and RIPEstat more efficiently[1]. We have experienced some problems which mean that parts of the historical RIPEstat data will not be available for an extended period. To reduce our data centre usage, we have been exporting RIS-related datasets from the database that contains our largest datasets (HBase) to a new environment, which allows us to decommission our old Hadoop cluster. During the migration, we encountered timeouts and memory limitations with old servers and software that held historical data. Here we faced a difficult choice: we could either extend our data centre contracts at considerable additional cost, or we could accept that certain historical data would not be available to users for an extended period. We decided on the second approach. It is important to be clear that we haven’t lost anything here. However, this does mean that we will not be able to provide aggregated historical data for a number of API calls and their corresponding widgets for some time after we complete our migration. These include: as-path-length, as-routing-consistency, asn-neighbours, asn-neighbours-history, bgp-update-activity, bgp-state, bgp-updates, bgplay, ris-peerings, routing-status, visbility. As mentioned, this has been a difficult process. We may still encounter other issues when we make the switch to the new environment tomorrow (24 September). My team is doing their utmost to keep any disruption to a minimum, but there are no guarantees everything will go to plan. We will be looking at the most efficient way to rebuild access to the historical data in the coming months, and we will share more details in an article on RIPE Labs soon. Kind regards, Felipe Victolla Silveira Chief Technology Officer RIPE NCC [1] For more on this, refer to the following: - Reducing our Data Centre Footprint (RIPE Labs): https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/reducing-the-ripe-ncc… - RIPE 88 Technology Update (slides 10-20): https://ripe88.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/89-RIPE-88-RIPE-NC…

RIPEstat database migration postponed
by Felipe Silveira 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, Following Monday’s announcement, we have decided to postpone the move of our largest datasets (HBase) to a new environment by one month. As I mentioned in my last email, this has been an unexpectedly complex process that has required a massive effort from our engineering teams. To ensure that RIPEstat will continue operating, we did not feel confident going ahead when this could result in the service being severely disrupted. I am sure many of you have questions. We plan to publish a RIPE Labs article with more details soon, including which historical data will be delayed when the migration is fully completed. Kind regards, Felipe Victolla Silveira Chief Technology Officer RIPE NCC
