Last call to participate: 2010 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey
by Paul Rendek 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, This is a last-call reminder to participate in the 2010 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey, conducted by GNKS Consult and TNO in collaboration with the RIPE NCC. The survey is available at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IPv6deploymentmonitoring2010 The deadline to complete the survey is this Thursday, 1 July 2010. All five Regional Internet Registries have committed to soliciting participation in this survey in order to compile the most complete global IPv6 deployment data possible. The goal of the survey is to gain a better understanding of where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. We encourage all organisations in the RIPE NCC service region to participate in this survey, which we hope will establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey is composed of 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed at RIPE 61, which will be held 15-19 November in Rome, Italy. Results will also be published on IPv6 Act Now: http://ipv6actnow.org Please provide your name and contact information on the survey form if you wish to receive the draft survey analysis when available. Please also indicate whether you are willing to share additional data with the TNO and GNKS Consult IPv6 Deployment Monitoring team. Any questions concerning the survey itself should be addressed to <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC

RIPE Database Update - Service Outage Report
by Denis Walker 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Apologies for duplicate emails Dear colleagues, Between 22:06 and 23:21 hours (UTC) on 23 June 2010, there was an interruption to the RIPE Database Update service. The failure was in the back end of the update server. During this period, the RIPE Database Update front-end software was still running and processing updates. The back-end server failed all these updates. Users received acknowledgements for these updates showing that an internal software error had occurred. This affected all updates in this period from webupdates, syncupdates and by email. It also affected any updates attempted through the LIR Portal. If you submitted any updates during this period, please check the acknowledgement and re-submit the update if necessary. We apologise for any inconvenience this might have caused. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

RIPE Database Bulk Access Service to be Cancelled as of 6 July 2010
by Paul Palse 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, We regret to inform you that due to European data protection laws, the RIPE NCC is now unable to provide the RIPE Database Bulk Access service. The Bulk Access service will be discontinued on 6 July 2010 and all contracts relating to it will be cancelled as of this date. All services provided by the RIPE NCC must abide by the restrictions imposed by data protection regulation. Due to the level of access to personal data in the RIPE Database provided to Bulk Access service users, we are no longer able to legally offer this service. For more information about personal data in the RIPE Database, please seethe RIPE Data Protection Task Force homepage at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/tf/dp/index.html The Near Real Time Mirroring (NRTM) service offers similar functionality to the Bulk Access service but does not contain personal data. For more information about this and instructions on how to sign up for this service, please see: http://www.ripe.net/db/support/about-nrtm.html If you have any questions about the RIPE Database, the Bulk Access service or the NRTM service, please contact ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net. Kind regards, Paul Palse -- Database Group Manager at RIPE NCC http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/contact.html

Problem with RIPE Database Daily Split Files
by Denis Walker 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues Over the weekend there was a problem with the generation of the RIPE Database daily split files. These are the files available on the FTP site with a text dump of operational data split by object type. If you downloaded these files with a datestamp for Sunday 20 June 2010, some of the files are truncated and do not contain the full data set. Please do not use this data. You need to download the files again with the full contents. If you download this data daily, any processing you do on the contents may have errors resulting from the data downloaded on Sunday. The RIPE NCC will improve the sanity checks on these files to prevent such events happening in future. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

Maintenance of RIPE Database updates
by Agoston Horvath 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

[Apologies for multiple emails] Dear colleagues, As part of the continued efforts to improve its services, the RIPE NCC is migrating the RIPE Database updates service to a more advanced infrastructure. For the migration, we need to disable all updates to the RIPE Database. On 21 June 2010, between 07:00 and 08:00 (UTC), you may experience outages with the RIPE Database update services. Updates sent via syncupdates will be rejected. Updates sent via mail will be queued and processed after the migration. Other services relying on RIPE Database updates will show problems. For example, webupdates will not work and the LIR Portal will not be able to update objects. RIPE Database Queries, NRTM and any service that does not rely on RIPE Database updates will continue working without interruption. This migration is at the infrastructure level of the service. There should be no visible change to the service for users after the migration is complete. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Kind regards, Agoston Horvath Database Group RIPE NCC
