The reports contain a snapshot of the status of Internet number resources, without any details of transaction histories. They are produced daily and include: - Information summaries - GPG key signatures - MD5 checksums for verification Statistics files ---------------- The latest statistics files are available from the RIR sites listed below. Each RIR site also mirrors the files of the other RIRs.
