RIS dumps files for a list of collectors (rrc00, rrc12, rrc20, rrc21, rrc25, rrc26) are not being produced. These files, MRT TABLE_DUMP_V2 format (RFC 6396), are normally generated every 8 hours, at 0:00, 8:00, and 16:00 UTC. The latest available bview files for the mentioned RRCs were produced at 16.00 UTC of Tuesday October 7th. We are investigating.
- identified Oct 08, 2025, 11:14 AM UTC
The problem is caused by the processing of malformed BGP updates. These malformed BGP updates contain a 1024 bytes-long optional transitive attribute (OTC, type code 35), whereas the length should be 4 bytes.

We patched our code to seamlessly handle the packets with malformed OTC attribute. The backlog of data is now being processed.
