Change of K-Root Instance in Frankfurt to a Global Node

Amsterdam, 19 June 2009

The RIPE NCC (AS25152) upgraded the k.root-servers.net instance in Frankfurt, Germany to a global node on 18 June 2009.

This means that we are now announcing the prefix without the BGP no- export attribute. If you have been operating a peering session with us at DE-CIX, you will now see the prefix 193.0.14.0/23 instead of 193.0.14.0/24. Please adjust your filters if necessary.

Anybody interested in peering with us can either use the DE-CIX route servers or contact k-peerings@ripe.net to set up a separate peering session.

We also invite anybody who is willing to provide us with transit for this instance to contact us at k-peerings@ripe.net.
