IPv4 statement
by Sander Steffann 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi, At the last RIPE meeting I tried to get community consensus on a statement to make it clear what the best way is to use the last remaining IPv4 addresses. Consensus in the plenary failed and the feedback I got was that we needed something stronger. And then I forgot about it... So far, I have come up with the following statement: """ It is important to realise that there isn't any IPv4 space left; the RIPE NCC has a small reserve to allow new members to get a /22 so they can start up a business, to bootstrap and to communicate with the legacy Internet. But this is not something anybody can build their future on. The only way to survive in the future is to implement IPv6 from the start. It is not sustainable to build an IPv4-only network anymore. The best current operational practice is to build IPv6 networks and have translation mechanisms to IPv4, and that is the only sustainable way forward. Anything else will require increasing investments in a declining technology. """ I think it's not good enough, but I lack inspiration to make it better. I would appreciate help from this task force. Cheers, Sander

Final draft of the MANRS BCOP document
by Andrei Robachevsky 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

Hi, The MANRS BCOP document is almost ready! Here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZBIvtBQ-Fc4RZKXnOpEQIGJfxPr21brqqiYVRSa… It has been reviewed by several MANRS participating operators and the MANRS BCOP team. Sander Steffann took the editorial pen at the final stage of its production, added missing content and brushed it up. There is still room for improvement - and the review and feedback from this community will be very much appreciated. Please send your comments and suggestions. During RIP73 next week this document will be also discussed at the BCOP TF on Monday. If you plan to be at RIPE73, please join this session. We hope to finalize this work (this phase, at least) soon after RIPE73 and reference it from the BCOP repository. Regards, Andrei, on behalf of the MANRS BCOP team
