Dear colleagues,
It's been one month since I sent the announcement about the RIPE NCC Resource Certification service. I would like to give you an overview of the current status.
The facts by numbers:
------------------------------
LIRs who have enabled the service: 219
Number of Route Origin Authorisations they created: 170
Number of prefixes covered by these ROAs: 469
Total IPv4 space covered by ROAs in the RIPE region: 40159 /24s
Total IPv6 space covered by ROAs in the RIPE region: 7340035 /48s
Unique visitors to ripe.net/certification: 1564
Downloads of the RIPE NCC Validator: 117
So while 219 LIRs have enabled the service, and very diligently created a large number of ROAs to specify their routing policy, unfortunately nobody gave any feedback on any of the mailing lists. It is very important that you let your voice be heard and provide input on policy proposal 2008-08:
http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-08.html
Please note that version 3.0 of this proposal will be published very soon. As soon as it is available, I urge you to read it and provide feedback, because the fact that the current service not backed by a policy is not a sustainable state of affairs.
Kind regards,
Alex BandProduct Manager, RIPE NCC
