Deployment of REST Interfaces to the RIPE Database
by Denis Walker 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Database Group is pleased to announce the deployment of the RIPE Database RESTful Web Services API. These are REST interfaces to the RIPE Database. The latest version of the API offers full CRUD support and also new advanced methods to programmatically manipulate RIPE Database objects. These services have been available for a while as discussed on RIPE Labs. They have now been migrated to our production servers and are fully supported. Documentation can be found on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-documentation https://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-introduction https://labs.ripe.net/Members/Paul_P_/create-update-and-delete-via-the-rest… The development of these services will continue through our iterative development process. Whilst the fundamentals won't change, we will be responding to ideas, suggestions and any bug reports as we continue to develop them. For this reason we would consider them as beta releases for a while. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

Resource Certification/RPKI Workshop at RIPE 63
by Alex Band 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

RIPE 63 attendees interested in Resource Certification/RPKI are encouraged to take part in a workshop on Monday, 31 October from 9:30-12:30 in the Park Congress 2+3 rooms. ===================== What you'll learn ===================== The workshop will focus on BGP Origin Validation, based on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). You will learn how RPKI enables network operators to make more reliable routing decisions and how it protects against accidental mis-origination, the most common routing error we see today. Using various open-source tools from rpki.net and the RIPE NCC, you will be able to set up a resource certificate and create Route Origin Authorisation (ROA) objects, stating which Autonomous Systems are authorised to originate the prefixes you hold. After publishing your ROAs, you can validate them and configure routers to set routing preferences based on the RPKI status of your prefixes. This workshop will be a collaboration between Rob Austein, Randy Bush, Michael Elkins, Benno Overeinder (NLNet Labs), Jac Kloots (SURFnet), Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks and the RIPE NCC. ========================= Participation Details ========================= You do not need to register for this workshop. There are no prerequisites for using the rpki.net tools. In order to generate a certificate and configure ROAs on the RIPE NCC pilot server, you'll need to have an LIR Portal user account with access to the certification system or know the administrator credentials for your LIR Portal account. More information: http://ripe.net/certification/enable.html If you don't have an LIR Portal account or the necessary administrator credentials, you can still participate. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna! Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

Improvements to RIPE Database webforms
by Denis Walker 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC Database Group is pleased to announce some improvements to the database webforms. There is now an expanding menu on the right hand side of each form containing quick links to get to every form. You no longer need to bookmark each form and you can navigate to any other form quickly and easily. The query search results now have buttons for each object shown in the results. These buttons can be seen when you move your mouse over the object. By clicking one of these buttons, that object is opened in a Webupdates Form enabling you to either update or delete the object. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

Re: [ncc-services-wg] [ncc-announce] Verify your LIR Portal email address before 17 October 2011
by Alex Band 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hi Sascha, You will be able to use a single username and password to access multiple LIRs after the migration. After logging into the LIR Portal with your RIPE NCC Access account, you will be able to choose which LIR you want to manage. If you want to make sure this works seamlessly, make sure the email address associated with your LIR Portal accounts are the same, and everything will be migrated automatically. If you prefer to have separated access, you can always choose two different email addresses. In that case you will have two Access accounts, one for each LIR you manage. We will also build the ability to merge two Access accounts, so you can always change your mind at a later stage.

RIPE NCC Listing Service: Streamlining Resource Transfers
by Alex Band 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Dear Colleagues, As described in section 5.5 of RIPE policy, ripe-524 "Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region", RIPE NCC members are able to transfer Internet number resources to another member after RIPE NCC approval and based on demonstrated need. As the RIPE NCC's pool of available IPv4 addresses depletes, we expect that the number of members wanting to transfer resources will increase. In order to streamline the transfer process, we are launching the RIPE NCC Listing Service. The Listing Service enables members to offer the address blocks they hold and no longer need. Members who want to acquire IPv4 address space can browse the list and request a transfer under the current policy. This policy is can be found online at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-524#55 You can read more about this free member service at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/listing FAQs about the Listing Service are available at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/faq/listing-service If you have any further questions about the Listing Service, please contact us at <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

Two new articles on RIPE Labs (status of legacy address space and RDQ - Phase2)
by Mirjam Kuehne 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Dear colleagues, We published two new articles on RIPE Labs that you might find interesting: 1. Status of Legacy IPv4 Address Space: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/xavier/status-of-legacy-ipv4-address-space This short article shows the responses we received from holders of unannounced IPv4 address space. 2. Registry Data Quality Assessment – Phase 2: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/xavier/registry-data-quality-assessment-phase-2 This article describes the methodology used for the second phase of the Registry Data Quality activity and the results found. It shows that the quality of records in the RIPE Database is very high. However, there is still work to do, especially related to legacy address space. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

BGPViz timeouts
by Jan Hugo Prins 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Hi, Lately I have a lot of problems getting analyses out of BGPViz. Every time I try to look at what has been going on for some time period I get a message: "Error occured: Could not send message". And after that the timeline won't be filled and I can't step through the announcements. Anyone else having this problem? -- Met vriendelijke groet, Jan Hugo Prins Infra consultant E: jprins(a)betterbe.com T: 053-4800694 M: 06-26358951 S: jhaprins W: www.betterbe.com

Launch of RIPE NCC Access
by Alex Band 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, To improve the usability of our services, we are deploying a new user account system called RIPE NCC Access. It will allow you to use a single set of credentials to access most of our services. This means that all users of our various services will be asked to migrate or update their current login credentials to a new scheme, using your email address and a password of your choice. We will roll out RIPE NCC Access gradually. The first service to adopt this functionality is IS Alarms. All current IS Alarms users will receive an email with instructions on how to set up their RIPE NCC Access account. From Thursday, 15 September 2011, IS Alarms users will not be able to log in with their old credentials. In the following months, other services such as the LIR Portal, DNSMON and RIPE Atlas will follow. We will keep you updated on the progress. We are certain RIPE NCC Access will offer simplified and unified access to our services and improve the overall user experience. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send an email to <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
