[news] Listing IPv4 Transfer Brokers
by Serge Radovcic 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Dear colleagues, When it comes to transfers of IPv4 address space, the RIPE NCC's primary concern is with ensuring that any transfers follow RIPE Policies and are accurately reflected in the registry. We recognise that RIPE NCC members who are engaged in making or receiving transfers may decide to use a broker to facilitate the process. While the RIPE NCC will never endorse any specific brokers, we believe that there is a role we can play in encouraging good practice and policy compliance, which may result in a better outcome for the Internet community. We also find it sensible to maintain contact with brokers who are offering their services to our membership to ensure they understand the relevant processes and policies. It is for this reason that the RIPE NCC plans to publish a list of "recognised brokers" on our website here: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/ipv4-transfers/brokers The brokers listed will have signed an agreement with the RIPE NCC stating that they will adhere to RIPE Policies, provide the RIPE NCC with accurate and up-to-date information, and ensure the parties involved in any transfers that they facilitate are adequately informed. It is important to note that brokers who decline to be listed will still be able to facilitate transfers. The agreement can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/ipv4-transfers/Recogni… This approach is consistent with the other RIRs. APNIC and ARIN currently publish a list of brokers that have entered into similar agreements. We welcome any brokers who would like to be listed to contact us at <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

[service] DNS outage
by Romeo Zwart 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, This morning, the RIPE NCC briefly experienced a problem on the ripe.net DNS servers. Operation of K-root and other public DNS services was not impacted at any time during this outage. At 11:45 UTC this morning, an error in the deployment script used to update the ripe.net zone caused a partial zone file to be activated. This caused the ripe.net DNS servers to return NX-domain responses for some valid hosts and/or subdomains in the ripe.net zone, which effectively rendered some of the RIPE NCC services unavailable during this period. DNS resolution for ripe.net was fully restored at 12:15 UTC. Caching of the erroneous responses may have caused reachability problems until 13:15 UTC. The error in the script has been identified and is only triggered in a specific corner case. This error will be corrected today. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Incident start: 05-Mar-2013 11:45:01 UTC Incident end: 05-Mar-2013 12:14:58 UTC Regards, Romeo Zwart GII Services Manager RIPE NCC
