Dear Colleagues, Following the implementation plan for NWI-5 (Out-of-region ROUTE(6) objects and removal of ASN authorisation for ROUTE(6) object creation) we have now deployed the NWI-5 changes to the RC (Release Candidate) environment. The RC environment allows you to test the impact of the changes before we will go to production on 4 September 2018.
Changes include: - removal of mnt-routes from aut-num objects - updating the source: attribute to RIPE-NONAUTH on out-of-region route,route6 and aut-num objects - removal of the RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT In this RC release, the FTP split files, the database dump and the NRTM stream will contain objects with the sources RIPE and RIPE-NONAUTH. In the next release (in the coming weeks), there will be two NRTM streams, two database dumps and also two sets of split files, one per source. We will separately announce this release to the Database Working Group. We encourage you to test the impact of the NWI-5 changes on your scripts and tools and report any issues you may find to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Information about Release Candidate can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/release-notes/ripe-database-release-1.92 <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/release-notes/ripe-database-release-1.92> The full NWI-5 implementation plan can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/impact-analysis-for-nwi-5-implementation <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/impact-analysis-for-nwi-5-implementation> Kind regards, Nathalie Trenaman Product Manager
