Dear Colleagues,
[apologies for duplicate messages]
Next Monday, 10 November 2003, we need to perform a maintenance
work on the RIPE Whois Server to replace a faulty piece of hardware.
During the maintenance work,
- Whois Database updates will be stopped,
- all update mails to <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> will be queued
to be processed later,
- Webupdate and syncupdate interfaces will be unavailable,
- The whois queries will _not_ be interrupted.
The maintenance work will start at 12:00 UTC (13:00 Amsterdam time)
on 10 November 2003 and expected to last 2 to 3 hours.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Please do not hesitate to contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net> for any
questions.
Best regards,
--
Engin Gunduz

The algorithm used in this report proposes aggregation only
when there is a precise match using the AS path, so as
to preserve traffic transit policies. Aggregation is also
proposed across non-advertised address space ('holes').

[Apologies for duplicate mails]
Dear All,
RIPE NCC is pleased to announce RISwhois, a new interface to the BGP data
collected by the Routing Information Service (RIS). Using a set of ten
Remote Route Collectors (RRCs) installed at different locations around the
world, the RIS collects BGP information from over 200 IPv4 and IPv6 peers.
RISwhois complements our existing prefix query and looking glass tools by
providing a higher level view over an entire set of RRC routing tables.
The service looks up IPv4 or IPv6 addresses in the most recently collected
full RIB dumps and reports the prefixes and origin AS numbers that match the
specified IP, as well as the RRCs on which the prefixes were seen. This can
help users in obtaining a quick answer on route visibility (i.e. where is
it seen, how widely does it spread) and in assigning origin AS numbers to
IP numbers in applications such as traceroute.
RISwhois listens to the whois port (port 43) and outputs data in a format very
similar to the route objects specified in RPSL. Thus applications that, to date,
consult a routing registry, like whois.ra.net, can easily obtain more accurate
IP to AS assignments by contacting the RISwhois server, riswhois.ripe.net,
instead. For example, a study in the context of RIPE NCC's Test Traffic
Measurements found 21% of a set of unique IPs unmatched when using the routing
registry vs. only 1% unmatched when using RIS data.
For more information see: http://www.ripe.net/ris/riswhois.html
Please send your comments to ris(a)ripe.net.
Best regards,
For the RIS team,
-- Rene
