North American Network Operators Group Date Prev | Date Next | Date Index | Thread Index | Author Index | Historical New Statistics Format Released
ARIN has been working along with APNIC, LACNIC and RIPE NCC to provide
number resource statistics in a unified format and location. The following
changes will be made to the existing statistics reporting:
- Addition of IPv6 allocations
- Report generated daily
- Summary lines are included
- Reports are signed with GPG key
- MD5 hash is provided for verification
- Minor changes in format
We understand that many researchers have scripts that pull these reports
on a regular basis and/or perform analysis based on the current format. To
facilitate the change and acceptance of the new format, ARIN will run the
old and new format from now until January 5, 2004. We have also included a
README file in the directory defining the new format. During this time
period the location of the stats will be:
Current format: ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/stats/arin/latest
New format: ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/stats/arin/new/delegated-arin-latest
On and after January 5, 2004, the only set of stats will be located at:
ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/stats/arin/latest
Comments concerning the publicly released statistics can be addressed on
the ARIN DBWG mailing list. A mailing list description and subscription
information can be found:
