New Statistics Format Released
- Date: Mon, 08 Dec 2003 17:17:42 +0100
Dear Colleagues,
The RIPE NCC has been working with the other Regional Internet
Registries (RIRs) - APNIC, ARIN, and LACNIC - to provide Internet
number resource statistics in a common format and location. The RIR
Statistic files summarise the current state of Internet number
resources, and are intended to provide a snapshot of their status
without transactional or historical details.
The following changes will be made to the existing statistics
files:
- Addition of IPv6 allocations
- Addition of Early Registry Transfer (ERX) IPv4 networks
- Addition of Provider Independent (PI) assignments
- MD5 checksum provided for verification
- New directory
- Minor changes in format
The statistics in the new format are available at:
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/new/
And the statistics in the current format are available at:
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/
The RIPE NCC will continue to produce the statistics in the current
and new format until 5 January 2004. On this date, the statistics
will be in the new format at:
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/
Statistics previously generated will be available at:
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/old/
Documentation of the format of these files may be found at:
