by Benno Overeinder 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Colleagues, A list of currently accepted RIPE 72 presentations is now published at: https://ripe72.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/draft-programme/ There are still few slots remaining for a final RIPE 72 programme and RIPE Programme Committee will accept new proposals until 15 April 2016. This is our last call for you to submit your proposals. You can find the CFP for RIPE 72 below, or at https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/, for your proposals for plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 72 will take place from 23-27 May 2016 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 72. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 15 April 2016. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations - Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice---in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, presenters/panellists should be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/

Follow up article on K-root events of 30 November and 1 December 2015
by Romeo Zwart 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Dear colleagues, On 30 November and 1 December 2015, we observed unusually large amounts of traffic on the K-root DNS servers, which we announced here: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/dns-wg/2015-November/003173.html Some other root server operators observed similar traffic during the same period, as described here: http://root-servers.org/news/events-of-20151130.txt We have since written a follow-up report that provides some more details about these incidents. The report also covers some of the “lessons learned” for the DNS team. The report is now online here: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/romeo_zwart/report-on-the-traffic-load-event-… Kind regards, Romeo

Another attack against RIPE Authoritative DNS services
by Romeo Zwart 16 Jan '16

16 Jan '16

Dear colleagues, This evening, 16 January, between 20:45 UTC and 21:05 UTC, we again received an unusually large amount of incoming traffic on the servers for the RIPE Authoritative DNS services. The volume of traffic was overflowing our inbound connections. It will be clear that this has severely impacted our Authoritive DNS services while the attack was ongoing. This attack was quite similar to the incident we had earlier this week. However, an important difference was that this time the attack traffic was directed at the RIPE NCC DNS services directly. As mentioned in an earlier announcement, we are investigating potential improvements to our infrastructure to increase our mitigation capabilities in case of future incidents. Kind regards, Romeo Zwart

RIPE Authoritative DNS services degraded
by Romeo Zwart 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

Dear colleagues, As of approximately 11:20 UTC this morning, Thursday 14 January, we are seeing an unusually large amount of incoming traffic on the servers for the RIPE Authoritative DNS services. The traffic is specifically aimed at the ccTLD secondary service that we host for .ps and is of such a high volume that it is impacting other DNS services. We are contacting the domain owners and are investigating mitigation capabilities at the moment. We will inform you further when we have more information. Kind regards, Romeo Zwart
