Emergency Network Maintenance today RIPE NCC
by Brian Riddle 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, Due to the instability of our network over the last week, we will perform emergency maintenance today, 4 July 2006, from 16:00 - 19:00 (GMT). During this maintenance there will be disruption to the RIPE NCC network and its services. The instability is due to a problem with our firewalls. Our supplier is working to resolve the issues. We will remove the affected firewalls from our network until we are confident that these issues have been fully resolved. This will prevent any further related network outages. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Regards, Brian Riddle IT Manager RIPE NCC

IPv6 access to ftp.ripe.net
by James Aldridge 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, IPv6 access to ftp.ripe.net is currently not possible. IPv4 access is unaffected. The current ScreenOS firewall software is unable to support extended passive-mode FTP. We have therefore temporarily removed the AAAA record for ftp.ripe.net from the DNS. We hope to restore IPv6 access as quickly as possible and will inform you when this occurs. We apologise for any inconvenience. Regards, James Aldridge Systems & Network Engineer RIPE NCC Operations Group

Network Upgrade
by Brian Riddle 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to announce that the network is now stable following the recent problems we experienced during last week's network upgrade. We have identified two key issues responsible for the instability. 1. Our current firewalls have been chosen to generously accommodate all previously experienced traffic levels. This is an IPv6 related issue which does not affect the stability of the network. 2. We have agreed with Juniper that this high CPU utilisation is an abnormal state which must be addressed. We have open tickets with our suppliers concerning these issues. The network upgrade has been a long-term project with many carefully planned and implemented steps. It is great to see the end of the tunnel appearing and we thank you for your patience and support in this matter. Regards, Brian Riddle IT Manager RIPE NCC
