Regards, Mark Kosters Chief Technology Officer American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) Release Notes This release consists of IRR additions and improvements. The following information is provided to assist you in using ARIN’s IRR. Obtaining Routing Information from ARIN’s IRR Using FTP ARIN’s IRR information can be obtained from ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/rr/. The FTP site provides two sources that have been migrated from ARIN’s IRR: one for authorized objects and one for nonauthorized objects. Authorized objects have been verified that the organization is authorized to create the record and that the registration associated with the object is under an (L)RSA. What do I need to change after this IRR deployment to use FTP? * If you are obtaining IRR information via FTP, to get all ARIN objects, you’ll need to access two separate sources: ARIN (arin.db.gz) and ARIN-NONAUTH (arin-nonauth.db.gz). Note that the source files are in a new, zipped format (.gz). Using Near Real-Time Monitoring (NRTM) ARIN provides two NRTM streams: ARIN (which contains authorized objects, as previously described) and ARIN-NONAUTH (which contains nonauthorized objects). What do I need to change after this IRR deployment to use NRTM? * Add the new NONAUTH stream to your monitoring. The serial number for this stream is found at https://ftp.arin.net/pub/rr/ARIN-NONAUTH.CURRENTSERIAL * Update the current ARIN (authorized) stream serial number; this number is found at https://ftp.arin.net/pub/rr/ARIN.CURRENTSERIAL Whois Port 43: You can access ARIN’s IRR database for both ARIN and ARIN-NONAUTH sources (which is running IRR Daemon, or IRRd) by entering commands from a terminal window. There are no changes to this functionality after the deployment. Managing Routing Information in ARIN’s IRR ARIN now provides a new method to manage IRR data directly in ARIN Online by selecting IRR Object Records from the main navigation menu. Organizations who currently use ARIN’s email-template based system (IRR-email) can continue to use that system, but no new organizations will be added to the IRR-email system. Your data from the IRR-email system has been migrated and is available for viewing in ARIN Online, but migrated IRR objects cannot be modified in ARIN Online. (Only IRR objects created in ARIN Online can be modified in ARIN Online.) What do I need to do as a result of these changes? - If you are currently using IRR-email and you want to continue to use that system, no action is needed. (You cannot use both IRR-email and ARIN Online to manage your IRR data.) - If you are currently using IRR-email and you want to start using ARIN Online to manage your IRR data, upon your first use of IRR in ARIN Online, you’ll be asked to confirm that you want to switch to ARIN Online to manage your IRR data. You’ll have to agree to this change before proceeding. If you start using IRR-online, you will no longer have access to IRR-email. _______________________________________________ ARIN-Announce You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Announce Mailing List (ARIN-announce@arin.net<mailto:ARIN-announce@arin.net>).

Ack - NTT has done so. The 'rr.ntt.net' instance now carries a copy of ARIN-NONAUTH and the 'ARIN' source has been fully reseeded from the published database dumps at ftp://ftp.arin.net/. Operators (anywhere on the planet) with a local NRTM cache of ARIN's IRR will want to make sure the output of the following debugging command produces output similar to the below. $ echo '!j-*' | nc rr.ntt.net 43 | egrep "ARIN:|ARIN-NONAUTH" ARIN:Y:41907-41925 ARIN-NONAUTH:Y:51746-51746 Operators should verify whether auxiliary tooling is aware of this new IRR source label. An example: in PeeringDB this new source has to be added: https://github.com/peeringdb/peeringdb/pull/742 Another thing to confirm: any place where one would pass on 'ARIN' as argument to bgpq4's '-S' command line option may need to review whether 'ARIN' should be changed to 'ARIN,ARIN-NONAUTH' to minimize the potential for disruption. Please relay my congratulations to the team on this important milestone! This was wonderfully unexciting :-) Kind regards, Job
Hello - The 'whois.radb.net' IRR instance and the RADb services have been updated to reflect ARIN's IRR updates. - - Mitchell Mitchell Kuch and the RADb Team On Wed, Jun 10, 2020 at 2:54 PM John Curran <jcurran@arin.net> wrote:

The FTP site provides two sources that have been migrated from ARIN’s IRR: one for authorized objects and one for nonauthorized objects. Authorized objects have been verified that the organization is authorized to create the record and that the registration associated with the object is under an (L)RSA.
