out of region ROUTE objects
by denis 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

HI guys I know this is a NWI, but with only a 10 minute slot in the agenda to review all the NWIs I doubt much will be discussed. I have a question. This issue has generated an almost identical discussion at the last 4 RIPE Meetings, with the same options on the table and the same indecision at the end of the discussion. In between RIPE Meetings it doesn't seem to be a problem (maybe it isn't a problem at all). I see it is not on either agendas at this meeting for DB or Routing WGs. If it is still a (real) problem, can someone actually make a decision on one of the options to fix it and do something? cheers denis

Re: [db-wg] Query all route objects for a given AS?

Thank you. I guess that I must have a very old whois client, because it objected to most of the command line options you listed. But I was able to apply what you said and get the information I wanted from RIPE's web-based WHOIS query page, so that's great. Thanks a lot! Regards, rfg

Query all route objects for a given AS?
by Ronald F. Guilmette 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Greetings, Sorry if this is an FAQ, but I'd like to know if there is a way to formulate a WHOIS query against whois.ripe.net in a way so as to obtain a complete list of the registered route objects that are associated with a given particular AS. If there's a way to do this, and if someone can instruct me on how it is done, I sure would appreciate that. Thanks.

Hi Ronald If you type it on the command line you need: whois -rBGi or AS3333 which basically says do an inverse query (-i or) on objects containing:origin: AS3333 give the full object details (-B), without any grouping (-G) and don't return related personal data (-r) If you use the query.html you must also check 'origin' under the 'Inverse lookup' tab. I also suggest you check the 'Do not retrieve related objects' box other wise you may return lots of personal data objects and get blocked very quickly. cheersdenis From: Ronald F.

Could you perhaps show me a complete example command line? Regards, rfg P.S. I also just now visited the following page: https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html Under "Types" I checked only "route". Then in the search box I entered only the AS number of interest to me. Then I clicked on the "search" button. The result was that I only got the following error: ERROR:115: invalid search key Search key entered is not valid for the specified object type(s) Is it actually not possible to obtain from the RIPE WHOIS data base a list of all route objects currently associated with a particular AS number?

Clean-up of unreferenced objects in the RIPE Database
by Tim Bruijnzeels 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Dear colleagues, In compliance with data protection rules and the desire to maintain a “clean” database, we plan to remove unreferenced objects from the RIPE Database. We have recently been working on an improved implementation, and we are now ready to re-start the process. In order to be eligible for deletion, objects must have no incoming references (or be a person-maintainer or role-maintainer pair) and must have had no incoming references from any aut-num, domain, inet(6)num, route(6), as-set, filter-set, inet-rtr, peering-set, route-set, rtr-set, as-block, key-cert or irt object during the last 90 days. We have identified roughly 500,000 unreferenced objects in the RIPE Database and have prepared a script to remove these objects in several smaller batches. We will run the first batch to clean up roughly 3,600 role objects today at 16:00 CET. We plan to run an additional batch to clean up roughly 31,000 organisation objects tomorrow morning, and a final batch to clean up roughly 460,000 person objects on Thursday morning. After this, we will continue to run the process nightly to help keep the RIPE Database clean. Further details about the cleanup process are available online: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/clean-up-of-unreference… Kind regards, Tim Bruijnzeels Assistant Manager Software Engineering RIPE NCC Database Group

all quiet
by ripedenis＠yahoo.co.uk 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi guys It has been pretty quiet on this WG for a while. But I hear from 'sources close to the NCC' that they have been doing some amasing improvements to the Webupdates service. In my day at the NCC there was a manager who said she didn't know what I did (which says more about her than me). One of the many, many, many, many things I did was to let the world know what we were doing. So come on guys, don't be shy, let us all know what is cooking so we can all rejoice in your achievements. cheersdenis
