New and Improved RIPE Registry Global Resource Service
by Mirjam Kuehne 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, We have redesigned and improved the way we mirror other databases (Thanks to the RIPE NCC Database staff!). We now have a method of translating the operational data from other registries (for instance from other RIRs or the RADb) into the RIPE Database structure. This means the RIPE Database will contain the most complete set of operational data in (RIPE) RPSL format that has ever been available in one place.

Discrepancy between WHOIS and delegated-ripencc
by Peter Kosinar 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hello! This might not be the appropriate place for my question; if that is so, I apologize in advance. I've noticed that the data provided by the RIPE WHOIS database is sometimes inconsistent with the data shown in the delegated-ripencc-latest file, available from the ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/stats/ server. For example, consider these two entries: ------------------------------------------------------- $ whois 91.212.135.0/24 inetnum: 91.212.135.0 - 91.212.135.255 netname: YABA-NET descr: YabaMedia Ltd country: RU $ grep 91.212.135.0 delegated-ripencc-latest ripencc|CZ|ipv4|91.212.135.0|256|20090409|assigned ------------------------------------------------------- $ whois 193.105.207.0/24 inetnum: 193.105.207.0 - 193.105.207.255 netname: ALFAHOSTNET descr: Alfa-host LLP. country: KZ $ grep 193.105.207.0 delegated-ripencc-latest ripencc|CZ|ipv4|193.105.207.0|256|20100315|assigned ------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, the data differs in the "country" field -- in both cases, the range is attributed to Czech Republic, while the block is actually assigned to anothers. Since the delegated-ripencc-latest file is used by some reputable and often-used sources (like Team Cymru; http://www.team-cymru.org/Services/ip-to-asn.html), this can sometime result in misleading and completely useless reports (as you can probably guess, it was Czech Republic getting unfair load of hostile sites attributed to it). There are two questions now: 1) What is the source of this discrepancy? 2) If it was caused by some kind of an error, can the databases be put in sync? If it is intentional, which source is more "reliable"? Thanks, Peter -- [Name] Peter Kosinar [Quote] 2B | ~2B = exp(i*PI) [ICQ] 134813278

by Axel Pawlik 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC, in consultation with external legal experts, created the draft procedural document, "Closure of LIR and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources". A PDF of the document is available at: http://www.ripe.net/legal/Closure-of-LIR-and-deregistration-of-INRs_final-d… The text of this document is intended to replace sections in two RIPE Documents that deal with the closure of LIRs and the deregistration of resources: - Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of ripe-301, "Mergers, Acquisitions, Takeovers and Closures of Organisations Operating an LIR". These sections are entitled "Closing an LIR" and "When an LIR is Closed by the RIPE NCC", respectively. The original RIPE Document is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/mergers.html - Section 4.2 of ripe-475, "Independent Internet Number Resources - Contractual Relationship Changes between sponsoring LIR and End User". This section is entitled "Violation of RIPE Policy, Law or Contract". The original RIPE Document is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-475.html The RIPE NCC would like to receive feedback on this draft document from its members and the RIPE community. The RIPE NCC members and the RIPE community will have the opportunity to discuss the document on the mailing lists and at the RIPE NCC Services Working Group to be held on 17 November at the RIPE 61 Meeting in Rome. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
