The presentation is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-60/presentations/Michl-VIX_route-ser… Nick Hilliard from INEX commented that the web based system was the way to go, because community-based filtering system breaks with 32bit ASNs, but also as you scale, the route server gets bigger – if you have prior knowledge of what you are routing, filtering configuration can cut down on the number of RIBs you need to maintain within your BGP demon. Harald concurred and said that the policy is bilateral and bidirectional, no paths will open unless there is consensus. David Croft, via Jabber, asked if VIX intended to make the portal available to other IXPs. Harald said that if others were interested, they would share it.

Nick said they haven't really looked at it. He said it can be done, but it's difficult and not operating system portable. He said if there is a need, they could put it on a wish list. Andy announced that Kurt Lindquist had to step out and that Johan Ihrén from Netnod would give the next presentation. I. WDM Implementation at an IXP Johan Ihrén from Netnod gave his presentation on WDM Implementation at an IXP. The presentation is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-60/presentations/Ihr_n-WDM_installat… Nick Hilliard from INEX asked if Netnod have any legacy coloured trance receivers that had to me moved over to Transmode boxes.

Johan said he didn't have much to say on it, and that Netnod wouldn't be the first or last adopter. Martin Levy from Hurricane Electric asked Johan to talked about the reliability of the DWDM method versus the customers putting whatever extended reach opt particulars to take extra fiber length out from the city. Johan said not really, that he didn't have any numbers on that. J. TRILLing New Features for Your IXP LAN Andy Davidson from LONAP, and co-chair of the EIX Working Group, gave a presentation on TRILL.

Aaron suggested getting feedback from vendors on the intent for migration. Nick Hilliard from INEX asked about the difference between loop management protocols and routing protocols. He said that he'd love to use it, but didn't think equipment would support it because a lot of the equipment doesn't support generic layer 3 forwarding. James Blessing, via Jabber, asked what are benefits of Trill vs. VPLS. Andy said the AMS-IX model are using VPLS is a really good model and Trill implements a lot of the same features at Layer 2. AMS-IX have had to use something else today, because these features aren't here, yet. However their solution allows them to resell connections in a new way (their partner program). K. The new Tel-X Membership Portal Michael Lucking from Tel-X gave his presentation on the new Tel-X Membership Portal. The presentation is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-60/presentations/Lucking-Telx_Partic… Andy apologized for going late and asked people to stay for the EURO IX film competition winner.
