17. Christian Teuschel | APNIC 46 | September 2018 !14
The way ahead with RIPEstat!
• Improve system stability
- Extend system capacity
• Update UI
- Mobile friendliness
• Reach out and cooperate with other RIRs
- Global operation for a global information system

18. Christian Teuschel | APNIC 46 | September 2018 !15
RIR Cooperation
• RIPEstat has a very diverse user base:

19. Christian Teuschel | APNIC 46 | September 2018 !16
RIR Cooperation
• Despite this diverse user base, users from
other RIR regions are underrepresented
• Possible reasons:
- Lack of knowledge about the service
- Language barrier
- Not addressing local topic
• We believe we can improve these points
through cooperation with other RIRs

20. Christian Teuschel | APNIC 46 | September 2018 !17
Cooperation Proposal with LACNIC
• Phase 1
- Customisation of the UI to LACNIC’s design
- Localisation of textual content
• Phase 2
- Cooperation on system operation and dataset provisioning
- Example for dataset provisioning: collaboration on BGP
route collectors between APNIC, LACNIC and RIPE NCC
(already ongoing)
- Phase 1 and 2 are independent for data set provisioning

21. Christian Teuschel | APNIC 46 | September 2018 !18
Phase 1 Details
• Customisation of the UI to LACNIC’s design
- The goal is to provide UI that reflects the affiliation to
LACNIC. Users that go to stats.lacnic.net will see RIPEstat
loaded with a LACNIC customised template e.g. LACNIC
logo, header and footer. In the simplest case this requires a
DNS entry for stat.lacnic.net pointing to RIPEstat and
adaptions in the UI logic.
• Localisation of textual content
- The text that appears in RIPEstat widgets would be
translated to Spanish and Portuguese. This would require
language support in RIPEstat and the translation efforts.

22. Christian Teuschel | APNIC 46 | September 2018 !19
Benefits
• Improved usability for users in LACNIC region
- Catering for regional information requirements
- Removing language barrier
- Access to regional datasets
- Ability to show and share local events
- Establishing feedback channel for regional matter to
RIPEstat

23. Christian Teuschel | APNIC 46 | September 2018 !20
Remarks
• LACNIC is a good candidate for this project
because:
- With English, Spanish and Portuguese the number of
languages is small enough for this project
- Agustin Formoso (R&D engineer at RIPE NCC) used to
work for LACNIC and his knowledge is of tremendous help
to this project
- Daniel Karrenberg already started to create ties between
the two RIRs

Will APNIC join
our efforts?
