Improved wording for request forms
by Laura Cobley 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the publication of four updated RIPE documents. We have improved the wording of these documents without changing the actual content of the request forms. This will make the request forms easier to use. These changes are part of a project to improve the wording of all request forms and supporting notes. The following RIPE documents have been edited: ripe-354 AS Number Request Form ripe-355 Supporting Notes for the Autonomous System Number Request Form ripe-356 Provider Independent (PI) Assignment Request Form ripe-357 Supporting Notes for the Provider Independent (PI) Assignment Request Form You can find the Documents in HTML format at: http://www.ripe.net/docs/asnrequestform.html http://www.ripe.net/docs/asnsupport.html http://www.ripe.net/docs/pi-requestform.html http://www.ripe.net/docs/pi-requestsupport.html Regards, Laura Cobley Registration Services RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Service Interruption on 29 September
by Ruud de Kooter 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Dear Colleagues, As we announced on 29 September, there was an unexpected disruption to our whois and web services between 05:10 and 06:00 UTC. Our investigations have shown that the problem was caused by an increasing traffic load and a growing number of peers on one of our routers. We made some configuration changes to improve load balancing between our border routers. This should prevent any similar problems from occurring in the future. We apologise for any disruption or delay this may have caused. If you have any further questions about this matter, please send an e-mail to <ops(a)ripe.net>. Regards Ruud de Kooter RIPE NCC

Charging for PI space?
by Hank Nussbacher 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

I'd like renew the discussion of PI address space and how it affects ones' RIPE category: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-331.html Suppose a LIR was asked by a customer to acquire PI address space (/22) and the customer had justification for requesting it. What do LIRs charge the customer for doing this work and therefore increasing their "billing score" for one year? Regards, Hank
