[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The migration of the RIPE Database update service, and the content of the RIPE and TEST Databases, to a new server has been successful. If you experience any issues with the new update service please contact our Customer Services on ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net. Any update sent to the email interface during the migration should have been completed. We suggest you check the database to confirm the success of those updates in case you did not get an acknowledgement message.

Scheduled Maintenance on RIPE Database Update Server - 10 May, at 14:00 UTC
by Denis Walker 08 May '12

08 May '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, On Thursday, 10 May at 14:00 UTC (16:00 CEST), we will migrate the update service to a new server as part of our RIPE Database infrastructure upgrade. We expect the migration to take up to four hours. Part of this migration requires us to reload both the live and test database contents onto the new server. ----------------------------------- No changes during migration window ----------------------------------- No changes can be made to the RIPE Database or TEST Database during the migration. This includes the use of Syncupdates, Webupdates, RESTful API and the use of object editors provided through the LIR Portal. ----------------------------------- Hold off on sending email updates ----------------------------------- We also kindly request that you hold off on sending updates to the email update service (<auto-dbm(a)ripe.net>, <test-dbm(a)ripe.net>) during the migration window to allow us to make a clean restart of the new server and perform significant testing before processing any live updates. If any updates are sent to the email update service, they will be queued and run following the migration. If you do submit email updates during this time we recommend that you check the results later. ---------------------------------- RIPE Database queries unaffected ---------------------------------- Querying the RIPE Database will not be affected as this service is completely separated from the update service. However it will not be possible to query the TEST Database. We appreciate your cooperation and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

What ever happened to those LIRs that closed?
by Mirjam Kuehne 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Dear colleagues, Following up from the article published last week on RIPE Labs 'From 80 to 8,000 - The Growth of the RIPE NCC Membership', we now looked at those members that closed in the meantime. How many of them were victims of the burst of the dotcom bubble? And which countries were mostly affected? How many closures were the results of mergers? Find some answers on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/why-do-lirs-close Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Re: [ncc-services-wg] [address-policy-wg] IPv4 Maintenance Policy

I expect to start the ball rolling on Wednesday, with a discussion of services for legacy resource holders. As I currently see things, legacy resources don't need address policy work, and so should be out of scope for APWG. Services for legacy resource holders do need attention and seem to me to fall naturally within the scope of the NCC Services WG. My slides have to be checked by my co-authors before I can place them on the meeting web site. I'll do this as soon as possible. /Niall

RIPE Atlas User-Defined Measurements Are Here!
by Vesna Manojlovic 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Dear Atlas Hosts and Sponsors, We are proud to announce the roll-out of user-defined measurements (UDM) for RIPE Atlas. As of today, all hosts and sponsors are invited to run custom measurements. To access UDM, either click on the link at the top right when you are logged in to the RIPE Atlas website, or go directly to: https://atlas.ripe.net/atlas/udm.html Currently, you can schedule two simultaneous measurements to the targets of your choice, from up to 10 probes. You can specify parameters like the area of the probes, IPv4 or IPv6, timing of the measurement, and type (currently ping or traceroute). And you need to have sufficient amount of credits! For the time being, we have created a fairly low rate limit, which we expect to increase over time. More information about limits, credits and other aspects of the UDM system can be found in the documentation: https://atlas.ripe.net/doc/udm Discussion and questions about UDM can be directed to the Atlas mailing list (ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net). You may also be interested in joining us at the UDM "Birds of a Feather" (BoF) session at RIPE 64 in Ljubljana, on Thursday, 19 April after the Measurements, Analysis and Tools (MAT) Working Group session. https://ripe64.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/bof/ Happy measuring! - The RIPE Atlas team ps We have also published a RIPE Labs article about UDM launch: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-user-defined-measurements-ar…

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, We would like to introduce the RIPE NCC Report Form. Using this form, you can now easily report various issues, including abnormalities in Internet number resource registrations, to us for further investigation. By making it easy to report these issues to us and by putting a clear process in place, we aim to work together with you to further improve the quality of the data in the Internet number resource registry. The first release of the form offers basic functionality. We will review the form, its usage and your feedback before deciding whether further development is needed in the future. You can find more details at: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/andrea/ripe-ncc-report-form If you have any questions or feedback, please contact <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Laura Cobley RIPE NCC

Introducing the IP Analyser
by Alex Band 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is proud to introduce the IP Analyser. It has been available as a preview in the LIR Portal for several weeks, but now it's time to properly introduce this brand new service that gives our members an insight into their IPv4 and IPv6 allocations and assignments. The ultimate goal is to offer a complete overview of all the IP resources you hold and inform you about everything related to them. The first release of the IP Analyser offers a basic feature set. We will then add new features incrementally going forward. More details can be found on RIPE Labs at: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/introducing-the-ip-analyser We encourage you to provide us with feedback on the IP Analyser by clicking the "Feedback" button in the LIR Portal. Your input helps us determine what new functionality to develop over the course of the year. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
