Dear colleagues,

Between 02:00 - 08:50 (UCT+2) this morning, our rsync RPKI Repository (rsync://rpki.ripe.net/repository/) appeared as down to many relying parties (validators).

The servers reached their maximum connection pool size and started to refuse new connections. At the moment, the service is back online and we are investigating why there was a sudden increase in connection to the service.

We will post further updates on this page:

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Kind regards,
Thiago da Cruz 
Senior Software Engineer
