Format change for index pages of RIS MRT data files and RIPE Atlas daily dataset dumps
by Oleg Muravskiy 24 Nov '22

24 Nov '22

Dear RIS and RIPE Atlas users, On Wednesday, 30 November 2022 we are planning to migrate the web server at <https://data.ris.ripe.net/> as well as <https://data-store.ripe.net> from Apache httpd to nginx. This will affect how the file listings in HTML index pages are generated, including the following: * RIS MRT data files (updates and dumps) * RIPE Atlas daily dataset dumps If you rely on the format of these pages, you need to update your software. Before we do the upgrade, you could check the new format of the index pages at: https://test-data.ris.ripe.net/rrc00/ We would like to ask you to avoid relying on the specific format of the index.html files. If you are fetching BGP dump files, please use the REST API that is described at: https://ris.ripe.net/docs/40_Prototypes/15_per_rrc_dumps.html You might also consider using per-peer dump files instead: https://ris.ripe.net/docs/40_Prototypes/10_per_peer_dumps.html We want to encourage you to provide your feedback on the API, so that we could improve it and build a similar API for the update files. If you are fetching update files, please use direct URLs to files as described at: https://ris.ripe.net/docs/20_raw_data_mrt.html#name-and-location Kind regards, Oleg Muravskiy, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

27 Sep '22

Dear colleagues, We've published the quarterly plans for RIS and they can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/support/documentation/quarterly-planning/ris In this quarter, we aim to start publishing RIS performance metrics on our website and make performance improvements to RIS Live. The goal of our quarterly planning is to communicate the work we're doing for the coming months, get your input and start a discussion on other developments we should work on. If you have any input on these plans or suggestions for future work, please reach out to us. Kind regards, Paul de Weerd RIPE NCC

Announcement of new RIS prototype services
by Oleg Muravskiy 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Dear RIS users, Over the past few months, we have created several prototype services that expose RIS data in different ways. These services provide a REST API, and the data they expose is closer to real-time, as compared to our traditional "bview" and "updates" files. These services are: - Per-peer dumps https://ris.ripe.net/docs/40_Prototypes/10_per_peer_dumps.html - Per-RRC dumps https://ris.ripe.net/docs/40_Prototypes/15_per_rrc_dumps.html - Peer metadata https://ris.ripe.net/docs/40_Prototypes/20_peer_metadata.html Please take a look at the documentation (links provided above), try out these new services, and tell us what we can improve! We would love to hear your feedback. Since we're posting this message across multiple mailing lists, we ask you to please share your feedback on the ris-users(a)ripe.net mailing list, or write to us directly at ris(a)ripe.net rather than on this list. Kind regards, Oleg Muravskiy RIPE NCC

RIS Quarterly Planning Q3 2022
by Paul de Weerd 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Dear colleagues, We've published the quarterly plans for RIS and they can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/support/documentation/quarterly-planning/ris In this quarter, we'll gather feedback on three new prototypes and continue to make improvements to RIS data through peering coordination among other items. We hope that by providing these plans, we can better inform the community of the ongoing work we're doing on RIS and get feedback on it. If you have any input on these plans or suggestions for future work, please reach out to us. Kind regards, Paul de Weerd RIPE NCC

rrc13 collector is down
by Marco Giuliani 25 May '22

25 May '22

Dear all, the collector rrc13.ripe.net installed at MSK-IX is currently down due to a major hardware failure. As a consequence of the lack of proper shutdown of the BGP sessions, RIS data is showing stale prefixes. So, for example, it can appear that a route is still up for a peer on RRC13 while in reality that route was withdrawn from the global Internet. We expect this negative effect to disappear in the course of May 25th. We are currently in contact with MSK-IX to restore the system. Marco Giuliani RIPE NCC

New prototype: per-peer dump files
by Oleg Muravskiy 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Dear RIS users, We would like to announce the release of a public prototype of a new service, per-peer BGP dump files. These files are generated every hour and exposed through a REST interface. We believe that having BGP dumps generated every hour provides better insight into BGP than the eight-hourly dumps currently provided. Also, with per-peer dumps, it is possible to choose just a subset of data that is now available with per-RRC dumps, which could make the analysis of this data faster. We have also fixed the format of the dump files, so it now conforms to the RFC 6396 (Multi-Threaded Routing Toolkit (MRT) Routing Information Export Format): we do not include MP_UNREACH_NLRI attribute of BGP updates in a dump file, and we do not include announced prefix in MP_REACH_NLRI attribute, as Section 4.3.4 of RFC 6396 describes. With these changes in the format of the files, we ask you to verify that your MRT parsers could still parse these new files. The REST interface to access per-peer dump files is available at: https://www.ris.ripe.net/dumps-per-peer-rest/prototype/ Please take note of the word "prototype" in the URL: this is still a prototype service. At this moment, we want to collect your feedback and improve this service before moving it to "production". Please also do not rely on this URL, as we intend to change it in the future. The API of the interface should be self-explanatory: doing a GET request on the above URL returns a list of links to the individual RRC's data, arranged per hour, in JSON format. Fetching any of those links will return a list of links to the dump files. Please share your feedback on this mailing list; we are looking forward to your reactions! -- Oleg Muravskiy RIPE NCC
