All, The shutdown of the NSFNET service last week went wonderfully uneventfully (though this was helped by a fair bit of scrambling by a lot of dedicated people). Since then, we have been attempting to optimize routing for some nets, including changing the announcement preferences for over 5,000 nets this week. Because of this load, we have not been able to keep up with the normal NACR processing this week. We will deploy some confguration updates tomorrow during the normal config window. We will also have a config window Saturday morning to roll out the rest of the updates. Please also remember that next Monday, May 8, NACR processing will be turned off permanently. After 09:00 EST on May 8, you may make your changes to AS690 routing (and to the rest of the Internet Routing Registry tools) by submitting Route and other templates to the RADB. See: http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RA/RADB.tools.docs/PRDB.retire.html for more details on converting to the RADB. --Dale Johnson
