Implementation of "pingable:" attribute in the RIPE Database
by Denis Walker 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC has implemented the "pingable:" and "ping-hdl:" attributes according to the specification in RFC 5943. They can now be used in ROUTE and ROUTE6 objects in the RIPE Database. RFC 5943 describes the syntax and explains how to use them: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5943 The "pingable:" addresses are already active for beacons, anchors and debogon routes announced by the RIPE NCC Routing Information Service (RIS). For an example of how these are announced, see the ROUTE object for 84.205.81.0/24. For more information about RIS beacons and anchors, please see: http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/stats/ris/ris-routing-beacons Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

by Denis Walker 15 Feb '11

The proposal is available at: [http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2010-06] This has now been implemented in the RIPE Database and other RIPE NCC processes, where necessary. Details of how to use the new aggregation feature of the RIPE Database can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/support/documentation/documenting-ipv6-assig… For those who have already made some IPv6 assignments, you will need to document them in the RIPE Database according to the policy if you have not already done so.

Please direct feedback to the Address Policy Working Group mailing list.] Dear Colleagues, The new version of RIPE Policy Proposal 2008-08, "Initial Certification Policy for Provider Aggregatable Address Space Holders", was published on 9 February 2011. The time period for community review ends on 23 February 2011. Some feedback was sent to the Address Policy Working Group mailing list. However, to maintain the discussion, we strongly recommend that you share your ideas and comments and clearly let the community know if you: - Support the implementation of the proposal - Support the general principle of the proposal but would prefer another wording - Support the general principle with some details changed but agree to postpone this discussion until another stage of the policy proposal review.

If the community supports extending certification to all resources, then another version of the proposal will be necessary.) - Do not support the proposal (please explain your motivations) You can find the full proposal at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-08 and the draft document at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-08/draft Please send an email with your comments to address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net by 23 February 2011.

Display issues with applications that use encrypted connections (https)
by RIPE NCC Web Services 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear members, It has come to our attention that some users experienced graphical and functional problems when attempting to use services like the LIR Portal that are now available through SSL encryption (https). We tracked these issues and found that some combinations of operating systems and browsers (for example Safari in MacOS X versions previous to 10.6.6 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or below) did not recognize our certificate as valid. Our engineers worked to correct the problem and it is now fixed. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and please let us know if you encounter other issues. Sincerely, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Developer - http://www.ripe.net/
