IPv6 assignment and Allocation Policy Document (fwd)
by Rute Sofia 27 Apr '99

27 Apr '99

I've read the IPv6 Assignment and Allocation Policy Document and think it is quite resonable now :-), at least for what concerns the initial deployment. However, I have some considerations: in point 4.2.2, "Criteria for sub-TLA Allocations in Transitional Bootstrap phase", point a. states that "the requesting organization's network...with at least three other public AS in the default-free zone". What is meant by "default-free zone"? I also think that it is of major importance in IPv6 to have section 6., DNS and Reverse Address Mapping in the initial deployment document. There is also the question of the now pseudo-TLA: even though I suppose that most of us are under the conditions of point 4.2.1, nothing is said about pseudo-TLA. Do we have to request for a sub-TLA again? Or what will be needed is only to renumber? Thanks, Rute Sofia

draft agenda (v1) for IPv6 working group RIPE33
by David Kessens 27 Apr '99

27 Apr '99

Hi, Below follows the first version of the IPv6 wg agenda. Note that on tuesday, we have scheduled, in addition to the regular wg session on wednesday, a tutorial about IPv6 (see the RIPE website for details). I anticipate that we will (and should) use most of our time for discussing the new IPv6 allocation draft. I would like to advise everybody to read the document: http://www.ripe.net/lir/registries/ipv6.html in order to allow us to have a focussed discussion. Note that we can give the most valuable input to the registries if we can come up with alternatives for pieces that we don't like, instead of telling them that we don't like something. Things to keep in mind when coming up with alternate proposals are: routability, conservation, verification of criteria, administrative overhead. Please let me know if you have other items that need to be discussed, David K. --- Proposed Agenda (draft v1) for the IPv6 Working Group Meeting RIPE33, May 1999, Vienna A. Administrative stuff (David Kessens) - appointment of scribe - agenda bashing B. Status of 6bone (David Kessens) C. IPv6 in practice (Jan Czmok) D. European developments/initiatives regarding IPv6 (input from the audience) E. IPv6 allocation progress (RIPE NCC): http://www.ripe.net/lir/registries/ipv6.html Z. AOB ---

Kaat, R. van der Pol, H. Steenman Filename: draft-ietf-ngtrans-introduction-to-ipv6-transition-00.txt Pages : 26 Date : 20-Apr-99 This document is a guide to the introduction of IPv6 in the current IPv4 based Internet or Intranets. Several general issues to start IPv6 networking in a predominantly IPv4 world are discussed, such as how to obtain IPv6 address space, IPv6 DNS and routing issues. Short descriptions are given of the different translation and migration tools that translate between IPv6 and IPv4 and/or tunnel IPv6 over IPv4. The remainder of the document describes how IPv6 can be introduced in various environments, such as ISPs, Internet Exchanges and end user environments and suggestions are given on the use of the different translation and migration tools.

This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : Connection/Link Status Investigation (CSI) for IPv6 IPv6 Hop-by-Hop option and ICMPv6 messages Extension Author(s) : H. Kitamura Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-hbh-ext-csi-00.txt Pages : 24 Date : 20-Apr-99 This document proposes a new mechanism whereby status information is collected for nodes along both the outgoing and incoming paths. This mechanism is called 'Connection/Link Status Investigation (CSI).' In order to realize the CSI mechanism, one new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop option and three new ICMPv6 messages are proposed as extensions. The CSI mechanism is as simple as the 'ping' mechanism and is also efficient, because ideally the status information of the nodes is collected with a pair of 'request/reply' ICMPv6 messages. By using the CSI mechanism, more efficient and reliable 'traceroute' type functions can be realized.
