ANNOUNCEMENT: RIS IPv6 route collection at LINX and VIX

[Apologies for duplicate mails]

Dear All,

RIPE NCC is pleased to announce IPv6 route collection at LINX and VIX:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As a part of our ambition to comprehensively track IPv6 BGP routing
table activity, the Routing Information Service (RIS) now also accepts,
in addition to the route collector (RRC03) at AMS-IX, native IPv6
peerings on RRC01 at LINX and RRC05 at VIX. At this stage, we are not
yet inserting the collected data into the RIS database (watch this space
for announcements of a full IPv6 RIS service), but the raw data of BGP
RIBs and BGP Updates containing IPv6 entries will be available at
http://data.ris.ripe.net/. 

If you are a current user of RIS raw data then please be aware that some
of these files will soon contain IPv6 entries in addition to the
existing IPv4 entries. Some notes on how the RIS approached this issue
can be found at URL: http://www.ris.ripe.net/ipv6changes.html.

If you are present at the AMS-IX, LINX or VIX and would like to
establish an IPv6 peering with the RIS project then please send an email
to mailto:rispeering at ripe.net.

Kind regards,

The RIS Team
