Update to RIS raw data format for 4-byte ASNs

Dear Colleagues,

This is an update concerning 4-byte Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs).

An IETF draft has been released describing a new version of the MRT
format, used for RIS raw data. We have published a new version of
libbgpdump to support this, which can be downloaded from:
http://www.ris.ripe.net/source/

There is at this stage no set date on which 4-byte ASNs will appear in
the RIS. The current raw data does not use the new format.

Details of the changes to RIS for 4-byte ASNs, including more information
on the new raw data format, can be found at:
http://www.ripe.net/projects/ris/docs/asn.html

If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to <ris at ripe.net>.

Regards,

Erik Romijn
