Expansion of eligible address space for Resource Certification (RPKI)
by Alex Band 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Dear colleagues, When the Resource Certification (RPKI) service was launched in 2011, only address space allocated to the RIPE NCC directly by IANA was eligible for certification. Today, we are happy to announce that all address space that was historically transferred to the RIPE NCC from other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) is also eligible. These ranges are so called "minority" address space, meaning that the full /8 block is managed by one of the four other RIRs, but a subset is managed by the RIPE NCC. LIRs who hold address space in these minority ranges will automatically have those resources added to their certificate, if they already have one. Starting today, they can create Route Origin Authorisations (ROAs) for the BGP announcements that they make with these prefixes. Resource Certification (RPKI) is a free service offered by all RIRs to offer BGP Origin Validation. It allows operators to request a digital certificate containing their Internet number resources and make cryptographically verifiable statements about their intended BGP announcements. These ROAs allow other network operators to make reliable routing decisions. In the RIPE NCC service region, more than 1,600 LIRs have requested a resource certificate and created ROAs for over six /8s worth of address space. To read more about this service, please visit: http://ripe.net/certification If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at <certification(a)ripe.net> Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

Syntax Change to Aut-num Object in the RIPE Database
by Denis Walker 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Dear colleagues, We would like to give you a heads-up about a proposal, currently being considered, to add two new attributes to the aut-num object in the RIPE Database: "import-via:" and "export-via:". In this email we are not concerned with the details of this specific change so much as the fact that a change is being considered. We know that these objects are very important for routing and many of them are updated daily in the RIPE Database. We also know that many scripts exist for auto-generating these objects and processing the contents. Although the RFC for RPSL clearly states that scripts should be written to ignore attributes they don't recognise, we don't know if all scripts are written this way. The RIPE NCC is considering the best ways to get information about any changes to routing object syntax in the RIPE Database out to the people who need to know. We would welcome any feedback on this issue from the community. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Team

Re: [ncc-services-wg] [db-wg] RIPE Database Release 1.69 Available Now
by Denis Walker 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Dear Aris This was a small change that we implemented quite some time ago. It was not included in previous releases and added into the latest which is probably why we missed it in the release notes. We had previously announced the change in the 'DIFF' implementation with this now being the default behaviour. We were asked at the last RIPE Meeting for this dry-run behaviour. If it is still considered useful to have a subject line keyword to trigger a dry-run we can change it to a new keyword (DRY-RUN) on the next release.

Dear Aris, If you use the keyword 'DIFF' in a subject line of an email update the software will treat the update as a dry-run and does not handle multiple objects. There is no need to use 'DIFF' as a keyword to get a diff output. By default all notification messages for object modifications now return the diff output followed by the full new object.
