Interruption of RIPE Database and Related Services
by Trudy Prins 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Dear colleagues, Starting at approximately 14:30 UTC on 4 October 2015, RIPE Database queries and updates, the LIR Portal and other related services experienced problems. Our investigation found that the service interruptions were due to a hardware failure. The queries were restored at 16:00 UTC and other affected services were restored at around 21:00 UTC. The ability of the RIPE Database to process incoming mail-updates was restored at 12:30 UTC on 5 October 2015. Please be aware that all mail-updates sent to Whois during this outage period must be considered lost. A summary of the hardware failure is as follows: The RAID controller on the master MySQL server reinitialised all of a sudden, causing IO errors. Unfortunately, we also experienced another (unrelated) hardware problem at the same time with the external load balancers. This combination of issues significantly affected the time it took us to rectify the situation. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Kind regards, Trudy Prins Software Engineering Manager

Email Resource Requests No Longer Supported
by Ingrid Wijte 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, On 7 October 2014, we announced our timeline for phasing out the text-based email request forms on our website: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-services-wg/2014-October/002890… While the forms themselves were archived in March, we have continued accepting these forms to allow members time to adjust their internal processes. As the final part of this implementation, we will now no longer accept resource requests by email. Members can now use either the request forms available through the LIR Portal, or the Resource Request API which can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/support/documentation/developer-documentation/resource… In order to maintain transparency, we have also published the information LIRs need to provide in order to complete a request form: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/supporting-not… Kind regards Ingrid Wijte Registration Services Assistant Manager RIPE NCC

Single-purpose "LIRs"
by Daniel Suchy 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hello, as already discussed in APWG, there're some LIRs, who were opened just to obtain additional /22 IPv4 block from last /8 and shortly after allocation receipt they're "organizationally merged". Part of this problem might be solved by 2015-01 policy proposal. But not all... Question, which I would like to ask is procedure, how RIPE NCC checks validity of informations provided by merged LIRs (for example, how is verified claimed company acquisition and so on). It seems only claims from "merged" LIRs are sufficient to allow merge. I think, some LIR merges were approved by RIPE NCC even in the fact no organizational-merge happens on the market and both organizations remain functional and doing their original business without any change. The only true reason is reducing expenses (pay one LIR instead of multiple ones) after address space is allocated. Another question is, what happens, if "already merged/closed" LIR of some "branch" is reopened? It will receive additional /22? This question is focused to internal RIPE NCC procedures - as community policies doesn't regulate that in detail. But if internal procedure of RIPE NCC is weak and allows such merges without any resist and (very) deep verifications, anyone can easily abuse original spirit of /8 policy. And I think policy spirit is also important - not every situation can be covered in advance by some policy paragraphs - that's not really possible. And policy abusers will be always one step ahead. I think one of RIPE NCC roles is protection of policy spirit, not only policy letter - and allowing such "merges" helps plungers, which're opening short-term LIRs for few months purposely. With regards, Daniel
