Javier, We, the routing arbiter, update our copy of the RIPE db every 15 minutes between the hours of 2am and 3pm EST Monday through Friday. The hours change to 5am to 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. We adminsiter both the RADB and ANS data bases. Sometime over the next couple months we shift to EDT, or move ahead 1 hour from EST. --Gerald Javier Gonzalez writes:

Hello all,

I'm sorry if this is a too stupid question, or if this is not the appropiate forum to ask these kind of questions, but I'm a beginner on that and still have a great lack of knowledge. I would like to know what are the days and hours that ANS, RADB or other american organizations choose to update their database information from RIPE Database. I need to know that in order to minimize the effect of a BGP configuration change that also means a change in the RIPE Database. I'd highly appreciate any information on this point.

Thanks a lot
