Hello all,

This version’s most significant change is to fix a race condition in the signature validation of the Update Notification File. While the window for hitting the race condition was only tens of milliseconds, NRTMv4’s one minute update frequency actually made it a daily occurrence.

v04 also has a number of smaller clarifications[1] that were mostly already common practice.

There has been much progress in implementations as well:

* IRRDv4 has a full implementation of v04 of the draft[2] (version not yet released).
* The RIPE db software has a server implementation of v03.
* IRRDv4 can successfully mirror both from another IRRDv4 instance and from a RIPE db instance (with a compatibility shim for RIPE db’s v03 signature location). * The only feature not yet tested for the RIPE db server with IRRDv4 client, is key rotation.
* RIPE db does not have a client implementation yet.

Abstract:

   This document specifies a one-way synchronization protocol for
   Internet Routing Registry (IRR) records.  The protocol allows
instances of IRR database servers to mirror IRR records, specified in the Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL), between each other.
