RIPE NCC Service Interruption on 29 December
by gerard＠ripe.net 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Dear Colleagues, [We are sorry for any duplicate mails you might receive] Early this morning we experienced a hardware failure with our network equipment at our office, between 02:45 and 06:10 UTC. Affected services were: - internal maildelivery to our ticketing systems were delayed - RIS website was unreachable - TTM online plots generation was not possible Our investigation has shown that the problem was a faulty interfacecard on one of our core switches. The immediate fix was to repatch affected servers onto another interfacecard. The long term solution is that we will replace this switch. We apologise for any disruption or delay this may have caused. If you have any further questions about this matter, please send an e-mail to ops@localhost. Kind regards Gerard Leurs, RIPE NCC

by Tiberiu Ungureanu 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hello Until today, i thought mail is for everyone. But today a customer of the ISP i work complained about not being able to send email to one of his co-workers, because his IP Address is in Romania. So here I am, testing: -------- CUT HERE --------- [tbb@Hydra tbb]$ telnet 195.41.47.12 25 Trying 195.41.47.12... Connected to 195.41.47.12. Escape character is '^]'. 220 watt.pil.dk ESMTP Postfix helo pil.dk 250 watt.pil.dk mail from: tbb(a)ines.ro 250 Ok rcpt to: nanna(a)baconcph.com 554 Service unavailable; Client host [80.86.96.6] blocked using ro.countries.nerd.dk; Your IP is in ro, rejected based on geographical location Connection closed by foreign host. -------- END HERE ---------- Now... I think this is stupid. Anyone has same opinion? OR all romanians should be banned from using a computer? Should I complain to RIPE-NCC? Can they help? (Afterall, they delegated the 195.41.47 block) Should I ask permision from RIPE-NCC to register my IP space in a different country? -- Tiberiu Ungureanu Network Engineer iNES Group SRL - Internet Dept.

RIPE NCC Participating in Internet Pavilion at WSIS Exhibition
by Axel Pawlik 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, The purpose of this e-mail is to inform you of the RIPE NCC's participation as part of the Number Resource Organization (NRO) at the Internet Pavilion during the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Exhibition. During Phase 2 of the WSIS in Tunis, 16-18 November 2005, the NRO will be participating in the Internet Pavilion (http://www.nro.net/archive/news/WSIS-leaflet11.pdf) at the ICT4all exhibition. The RIPE NCC is participating in the Internet Pavilion as part of its continued efforts to support and represent the interests of its membership and the RIPE community to Internet industry groups and government. The main goal of these activities remains the promotion of the open, bottom-up, industry self-regulatory structure common to all Regional Internet Registry (RIR) communities in managing Internet address resources. The Internet Pavilion will bring together a number of the key organisations that are, among other industry partners, responsible for both day-to-day management and policy development in the Internet sphere. Through the Internet Pavilion, we hope to work together with WSIS participants to promote a greater understanding of existing Internet governance mechanisms and how these relate to the recommendations of the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) Final Report and wider WSIS principles. The RIPE NCC is assisting in the NRO's education, communication, and outreach efforts, which include: - Multimedia presentations on RIR history, the NRO, and IP addressing and routing - An NRO fact sheet available in many languages (including English, French, Arabic and Russian) - Brochures and fact sheets on technical and RIR-specific issues - Newsletters, articles, and other documentation More information about the NRO's participation in the Internet Pavilion is available at: http://www.nro.net/archive/news/wsis-exhibition-info.html More information about the Internet Pavilion is available at: http://www.nro.net/archive/news/WSIS-leaflet11.pdf Regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

(Follow up) Planned network maintenance 3-11-2005
by Ruud de Kooter 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, We have completed planned maintenance work on one of our border routers that was causing network problems. Unfortunately, the work took longer than expected and we encountered some problems that affected our network connectivity and some of our services. We are pleased to announce that we have now resolved the problems and everything is back to normal. More details: During the replacement of one of our routers, we discovered that MD5 passwords became corrupt, leading to broken peering sessions. By the close of business on 4 November, we had re-established 90% of sessions. On 5 November, we completed the planned maintenance and rebooted the router. This reboot caused the RIPE NCC network to become unreachable by that part of the Internet that preferred a BGP path to the router. We detected and resolved the issue by 18.30 UTC on 6 November. All peering sessions are now restored. Packet loss, which lead to the original decision to replace the router, has disappeared. The TTM and RIS services were affected by the network incident during the weekend. After this was resolved, data collection started again and due to the resilient design of the system, no data was lost. We apologise for any convenience this may have caused. If you have any further questions, please send an e-mail to <ops(a)ripe.net>. Kind Regards Ruud de Kooter Operations Manager RIPE NCC Amsterdam
