Dear all, Please see the below announcement, I think this is really good news! RPKI-based filtering at large databases and mirror services like RADB really helps take the sting out of potentially harmful RPKI-invalid IRR route objects. This will positively impact operators who use bgpq3, irrpt, or irrtoolset/peval to generate filters, because those tools use whois.radb.net by default.

On October 30th, 2023, we will migrate RADb over from IRRdv3, which you are currently using, to IRRDv4. Below are links to demo servers that will allow you to interact with the new service prior to the migration. As you start planning for the transition, here are some key things to note: - We will import the current database into IRRDv4 on October 30th. - We will work to maintain the current serial numbers for NRTM. If we are unable to you will need to update your mirror before NRTM can continue. - We will enable RPKI. - The rpki-ov-state RPSL field notes the RPKI status (valid, invalid, or not-found) - whois will hide RPKI invalid objects unless you use !fno-rpki-filters - IRRDv4 is more strict, but we are starting with most of this strictness disabled initially. - IRRDv4 may output RPSL objects differently. - The RADb API is the same, but may return different error messages, or similar error messages with different wording. For example, it will now report RPKI errors. - Existing mntner objects will be imported even with invalid admin-c/tech-c handler. Any updates will require at least one person or role object associated with it. We will be updating our registration process to create these objects for you. - New mntner objects must also have at least one person or role object associated with it. We will initially handle this for you the the customer portal, but you should check the created person or role for correctness. - New mntner objects will use bcrypt for passwords. This will happen automatically for you through the customer portal The following demo environments are available for your testing (please use your existing credentials): - whois2.radb.net <#m_-1278871392211290094_m_-2351897707799796429_> - IRRdv4 with current RADb objects and live mirroring of other RIRs - whois2demo.radb.net <#m_-1278871392211290094_m_-2351897707799796429_> - IRRdv4 with sample data (v4 version of whoisdemo.radb.net <#m_-1278871392211290094_m_-2351897707799796429_>) - wwwdemo.radb.net <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgXjz19fnSCW4TqGZG53_s1yN58csPb3qn9gW69sMD-6lZ3mvW3D0N3W4sQpfQW48xR5T7gh4lWW4d0dDD4_XK08W3tpklb34PGf7W2HcBN32XSLDtW8VKY2D2YfVlBMM4wvmjP-p1N8xNYlgtK3gFW3vQPW95mVvx0W206gk53QhhMjW96hXkN8C5NcKW3Q9Hhl8vdQB9W2sc29R33KyLtW8KmTVz1NLQclW33XC013rY2QfW2zJdyB54S2mCW8zyNwd1p_ql_W7Ydv151gy8tKW7dTtLy7Klb41W1Fpn1n4ytrfkf8vl32s04> - demo web portal backed by whois2.radb.net <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgXjz19fnSCW4TqGZG53_s1yN58csPb3qn9gW69sMD-6lZ3npW5cJ91s92YDCRW2BMdFT6JV7L6W7CJ27f10DjBPN8hX2p_wRTHtW99_K-g2sv2VmW53Pmh98KQY5LW4YCBGh7yd7zyW1Cpc894mhhLTW42FxN-47mp-yW61dJk51Q47ggW1rbjmM8FfK-lW6RxC3s59z7thW2K11F24Yw_SXW5_31pl2Hc91sW7mZCC14TWJNlW1VwFP54mfJwkW4VbF_61vh_HfW2LGM5t2pxMz9W8lyyp48kj5wTW4XL2rJ8sCd33f8XZ-fv04> - apidemo2.radb.net <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgXjz19fnSCW4TqGZG53_s1yN58csPb3qn9gW69sMD-6lZ3lwN7pF4KpGDQkDW7Zzwnr39q3lGW90xznV3kz_wJW3-p9dX6F5jScW5kQCl33Ws0C3W1d34rq7gHP6qN6zHHWMJqMwwW8nGSgB3Y57X8W794H1s1nPRWZW2F4dg_8PslGNW8C5GZf13b9NDW5ZxSRL1csB2zW4fZf071m3lgyW87xMdQ3QgFpRW29Gy3v1Mg_4QW7QmtFv1-96mDVhDmt_11prljN7J2WBT3GX0kW1BXXr226tdQwN6ZfBr_Kb-bQf7mCJwb04> - demo API (available October 1st) This move to IRRDv4 will bring many benefits to you, including: - Improved RADb data quality - Prevention of RPKI-invalid objects from being created in RADb - Prevention of object creation for invalid prefixes (such as RFC 1918 space) - as-set and route-set object creation will be limited to the account that maintains the aut-num object extending and protecting the ASN of the resource holder from misrepresentation (requires use of hierarchical naming conventions) - Improved extensibility and maintainability We thank you for subscribing to Merit’s RADb service - the contributions of this community make the internet a better place to learn, work and share data. *Questions? *Please contact us at support@radb.net *We also welcome your feedback - please take our brief customer satisfaction survey: **https://radb.net/survey* <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgXjz19fnSCW4TqGZG53_s1yN58csPb3qn9gW69sMD-6lZ3lHW8jp1qs75wgpgW5Dnx_S2G0RDYN8qzSGW7WTS2W4vDyrC80QW3KW82k8bM12P683W5lKLgv5qGXCtW5YkJB92l3XhHW1NcD3L6Fdt1hW7dRvz_2BLMRrN7Rj4J9p6xgTW56HLGz1WqcZxW1k-ZvF26M7YSVLjfT38DC_PfW64h17n7STXt0W2gl7wR3Z8RqSVC5TLV3bmBzCW8CHt_v6XmJhhVrdy6r5x8wX2W6n9gb05WK1QWVXq2sh8RmLHsf7Hh8MM04> Our sincerest thanks, The RADb Team [image: merit_network1] [image: Facebook] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgXjz19fnSCW4TqGZG53_s1yN58csPv3qn9gW6N1vHY6lZ3lJW6vbtzh1N4S4kW3BV4hN2trXSzN1JwqlVl6MqBW8GRnLL65Tm8lW76DQQ77SbzrvW7RcFj09hN7dkVTzQTz3VR5cyVj0PCJ7GzjD_VBkHdP3ZM8LpW6fp_zc5wkG_sVB-6PM6vTlKyW6MH47R893YVZVJ1w5C1HllLyW552TVS14Q5PvW5bdF4y3xKy2yW7TMrTJ2LxMGNW8sll5R7sBTjRW64BZH960gFJkW1qNwK08gZBzlN6rWqpzgKl_VW6nCys11ksvjKW6NGtYQ7VSf5Qf3c6xHs04> [image: Twitter] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgXjz19fnSCW4TqGZG53_s1yN58csPv3qn9gW6N1vHY6lZ3kJW8LnmMS3QvTYKW2nfl1r5tVbyGW38vwqP8QSSRlW25srkk2TG365N42t4kcvKvVtW7kR2ck5SWQ1CW6rXb3F1FlHR2W5NB9SM6KY6HFW8z9Kfz6sWYw-W2S-QQ88BQdTTW2kBXNN6kxcPbVhlDy-5hK9F0W4x6-5C3kkzd6W7GtY626NFWPcW2mkwP01kdxDYN54GSF24cMDdVBmBjx10H4yhW6ynsdJ95zmB1N7Ynv9g8fyxDW4sMD0T2qHhJgW7-1_r42gbTpJW8j4YCc7S5lJDf4F7tC-04> [image: LinkedIn] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgXjz19fnSCW4TqGZG53_s1yN58csPP3qn9gW7lCdLW6lZ3lrW8Z9RFq6fYm0jW23w3_n5j8CW5W7w-B1J8hb3PQVLD7Hz99GH_fVH_GpD4YZYl1W3X_jpT49N_nlW4Q21469kp43mW5j_J-33-W_XJN7y4dnxq9209W3NW2hh7w17PvW23YN1F8fy5F-VS5YKJ6FHNhJVf8tF88kSKMtW8SXHHN6qJLf0W1bYL9y50dTJJVKrm-l8vytX-W2ZPZVk4yllygW9bfzyD7gtZbGW4wqrsy6brWV9W58z7LK4_zm-KW6KZ_zP3pWvXNN8HlcRFcSSwKW7rZWD57vtq7lN7Mv73_nx9sNf7dp_g004> [image: YouTube] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgXjz19fnSCW4TqGZG53_s1yN58csPP3qn9gW7lCdLW6lZ3pTW2k-mP860C8QQN8b8Nc_K2-YPMGQJ-gZQNJbVvvfLY6p74pPW8Ff1s_2sLyWgW3H69jD9h8g8_N2PlqF423RSJVKxSlf7LBVbTW3j-Hpb9d9g6gW1S86wx6vY83PW25rJSj4GhYl4W1sj1kf2t8znvW40DnFD2h2q_wW8H98QH2k2qC1W53xpbq68SpJQW4QSXxQ73wdNzW95P2jB29PpbkW1qrP-R3Tt5gTW60lXsD5z9Bp3W1q3t028WVDlCW6hnGr59bHmglW2YvQKV6g59RqW4S-QRk6y1BrrN6j2vRPHtxb1f5qv--804>
