Deletion of unreferenced PERSON and ROLE objects
by Denis Walker 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC will start to delete unreferenced PERSON and ROLE objects from the RIPE Database on Monday, 26 January 2009. Any PERSON or ROLE object that remains unreferenced by any operational resource for 21 consecutive days will be marked for deletion. It can be deleted at any time after this period if it remains unreferenced. Unused MNTNER objects that only maintain unreferenced PERSON or ROLE objects will also be marked and then deleted. To minimise any impact on Database Services, a small number of objects will be deleted on a daily basis. The number of daily deletions will gradually increase. It is expected to take several months to remove the backlog of unreferenced objects. After the backlog is removed, all unreferenced PERSON and ROLE objects, and in some cases their MNTNER objects, will be deleted after being unreferenced for 21 consecutive days. For more details, please refer to this support page: http://www.ripe.net/db/support/cleanup-unreferenced-data.html If you have any questions about this, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC to Assign 32-bit ASNs by Default as of 1 January, 2009
by Andrew de la Haye 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, As of 1 January 2009, the RIPE NCC will begin assigning 32-bit (or four-byte) Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) as default. This is in accordance with a common policy agreed on in all Regional Internet Registry (RIR) communities and described in the RIPE Document ripe-389: "Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies and Procedures". This document can be found online at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-389.html#19 16-bit ASNs and 32-bit ASNs are interoperable. Those who have previously received a 16-bit ASN will not need to renumber. It is possible, however, that some devices, either in your network or the network of your upstream provider, will not be compatible with 32-bit ASNs. It is therefore vital that network operators be aware of the new assignment policy and of their own network's status in terms of 32-bit ASN compatibility. Further information about requesting 16-bit ASNs and 32-bit ASNs can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-32-guide.html Kind regards, Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC
