New release of the RIPE Database code
by Joao Luis Silva Damas 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Dear all, a new release (2.1.3) of the RIPE Database code is available for download. If you detect any problems, please send a mail to ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net The release notes for this version are the end of this message. Regards, Joao Damas RIPE NCC ********** RELEASE NOTES for RIPE Database 2.1.3 SUPPORTED SYSTEMS This release has been tested with perl5.00401 on bsdi3.1 and GNU/linux systems. Please let us know if you have problems running it on other systems. FEATURES Changed attributes ------------------ This release modifies the default behaviour of the whois daemon by not displaying the "changed" attributes in any objects as result of a query unless specifically requested to do so, by using the new -c whois query option. Updates and deletes ignore the changed files so if an update differs from the previous object only in the changed fields a NOOP will be returned. Cross notification in the Routing Registry ------------------------------------------ A new major feature in this release is cross notification in the routing registry. Cross notification works according to: 1. Whenever a route object is added to the routing registry, a check is done to see if the address space overlaps with that in any other route object in the RR. If so, a notification will be sent to the submitter of the route object. This will always happen and is not dependent on any notification attributes described below. 2. Two new fields called "cross-nfy:" and "cross-mnt:" have been added to the route and aut-num objects. The "cross-nfy" field: a) contains a contact reference, specified as a NIC-handle pointing to a person or role object, the email address of which will get the notification; b) is optional; and c) is multiple (so that more than one contact can be notified). The "cross-mnt" field: a) contains a contact reference, specified as a mntner ID referencing the maintainer to be notified; b) is optional; and c) is multiple (so that more than one contact can be notified). This attribute is used to request notifications of the addition or removal of route objects which overlap the address space of the already registered route objects in which this attribute is specified. If the "cross-nfy:" or "cross-mnt:" attributes are used in: + a route object, then a notification will be sent for any overlaps with the address space specified in the route object; + an aut-num object, then a notification will be sent for overlaps with the address space specified in each route object in which the given AS number is specified in the "origin:" attribute. The contact/s in "cross-nfy:" or the mnt-nfy/s in the maintainers referenced by the "cross-mnt:" will receive an e-mail whenever: + a route is registered which overlaps this address space; or + a route is removed which overlapped this address space. If all is well, the former will indicate the introduction of multi-homing, and the latter will indicate the cancellation of the multi-homing. It is expected, however, that the former will often indicate an error, and the latter its removal. Either way, it will be useful to know about the registration and elimination of overlapping announcements. The set of sources searched for these conflicts is defined on a server wide basis (CROSSNOTIFYSOURCES in ripedb.conf). BUG FIXES Better check for disk full conditions when writing to the database Workaround for bug in perl handling integer numbers Performance improvements, better checks on forking and misc. additions contributed by users.

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 10 Jul '98

10 Jul '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jul 10 12:00:01 PDT 1998 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 05 Jun '98

05 Jun '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jun 5 12:00:00 PDT 1998 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.
