Using RESTful interfaces to ARIN's IRR (Fwd: [arin-announce] New Webinar Registration Now Open: Using ARIN's RESTful API for IRR)
by John Curran 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

NANOGers - FYI - For those operators who want to automate IRR updates with ARIN, please see the following upcoming webinar on using our RESTful API, the Operational Test and Evaluation (OTE) environment, and more. Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers Begin forwarded message: From: ARIN <info(a)arin.net<mailto:info@arin.net>> Subject: [arin-announce] New Webinar Registration Now Open: Using ARIN's RESTful API for IRR Date: 16 April 2021 at 1:26:22 PM EDT To: "arin-announce(a)arin.net<mailto:arin-announce@arin.net>" <arin-announce(a)arin.net<mailto:arin-announce@arin.net>> Do you need to manage multiple Internet Routing Registry (IRR) records quickly? If so, you can set up your system to connect to our IRR database using the Representational State Transfer (RESTful) application programming interface (API). Our API lets you create, update, and delete multiple objects without having to log in to the web interface and perform each task individually. Join us to learn how to format IRR REST commands to communicate with ARIN’s database using the API. You’ll learn the following skills at this webinar: - Accessing the Operational Test and Evaluation Environment (OT&E) - Creating, viewing, updating, and deleting an object using a REST call - Identifying necessary commands and URL structure - Describing, sending, and formatting payloads, which are sent in Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL) This webinar will be held twice – once on Tuesday, 27 April, and again on Tuesday, 4 May, both at 2:00 - 3:00 PM ET. Simply select which date you’d like to attend when filling out the registration form. Registration is completely free but space is limited, so register soon: https://arin.swoogo.com/IRRAPI We hope to see you there! Contact us at training(a)arin.net with any questions.

Re: Texas ERCOT power shortages (again) April 13

It just makes sense to plan along those lines, really. Despite popular belief, power companies are preferring energy conservation from their customers more than they do sales, because they just can't keep throwing up new coal-fired or nuclear power stations a la the days of old (anyone remember the 1973 and 1979 oil crises?) Most people would assume that power companies want to sell more electricity so they can make more money, but they dread the days when the network is brought to its knees, even if the revenue will climb. So between asking customers to save more on energy + being able to rely less on fossil fuels for generation, one needs to consider their personal energy security over the long term, fully or partially independent of the traditional grid. > Funny how this obsession with a green grid has made the grid > unreliable, resulting in sales of gas-burning generators and > perishable fuel. Dare I say it's not been worth it? I wouldn't say that the obsession is without merit. It's just that regular folk are only seeking the solution from one perspective - that of the power generators. If folk (and that includes the gubbermints) met the power companies half way, renewables would make a lot more sense, more quickly. But as I said before, when we flick the switch, it must turn on. End of. And then we revert to demanding power companies to embrace the additional revenue, or fulfill their mandate to deliver a basic, life-sustaining utility, no matter what. Unfortunately, there really hasn't been sufficient education to regular folk about what it takes to generate electricity reliably, no matter the season. And yet, there is far more education out there about the benefits of conserving it, and preserving the earth. So the view is not balanced, and power companies as well as oil producers will knee-jerk to either justify or distance themselves, rather than encourage a fair, practical engagement. In the end, he that feels the most pressure, caves... and this can go either way depending on which side of the economic development curve you are sitting. > > Nuclear and hydro were the only reasonable obvious choices and > ecological paralysis hamstrings those as well. Ultimately, no target toward zero emissions is complete without some kind of nuclear and/or hydro. Especially as a solution for peak demand, (pumped) hydro will continue to be the most efficient option, if folk are interested in keeping the lights on at 7:45PM on a wintery Tuesday night. > > Now is the time to speak the message. Write your elected > representatives. Talk to your families and friends about energy. > Change minds. There is room for co-existence, I think. But the honest discussions need to be had, and not the glossy wish list that should be fixed by someone else, because we are just citizens minding our own business. Mark.

Alexa adds Severe Weather Alerts (old news Feb 2020)
by Sean Donelan 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

Ok, I know -- old news. But I missed it during the whole pandamic thing last year. Since I previously criticized Amazon about this, and FCC is requesting comments about Internet Emergency Alerts this month, a correction. I found out Amazon Alexa added Severe Weather Alerts last Febuary 2020. Kudos to Amazon for doing this, despite the Amazon folks saying "no one else asks about alerts," everytime I asked about it. Apple Siri and Google Home, how are you doing alerts???? Now I have to change the Alexa example in my submission to the FCC :-) Alexa's Monthly Roundup: February: "Alexa can now proactively notify you when there’s severe weather. Simply say “Alexa, tell me when there’s a severe weather alert” and Alexa will notify you when there is a local severe weather warning." FCC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Notice of Inquiry about Emergency Alerts: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-proposes-further-strengthen-emergency-aler… Page 25 of NPRM and NOI A. Feasibility of EAS Participation for Internet-related services [...] "…complete an inquiry to examine the feasibility of updating the Emergency Alert System to enable or improve alerts to consumers provided through the internet, including through streaming services."

Notice to IRRd operators
by Rubens Kuhl 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Hi there. TC, a large IRR database focused on Brazilian networks, just changed its IP addresses. In most IRRd implementations it's necessary to sighup the daemon to move to the new IP addresses, so we kindly ask those running public and private IRR instances to sighup in order to move to the new IP addresses. The new addresses of bgp.net.br are: bgp.net.br has address 177.128.210.126 bgp.net.br has IPv6 address 2804:890:0:102::102 bgp.net.br mail is handled by 10 bgp.net.br. The old machine will be up and serving mirroring requests until we see most, if not all, of requests being served by the new machine. Thanks, TC
