[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Apologises
by Bernard Tuy 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

====BT: David and all, Since a couple of people were surpised to see me at the meeting although I didn't show up in the ipv6 wg, I feel I have to give some explanations. My yesterday morning flight was cancelled and I had to book for another one 3 hours later. Then when the ipv6 wg meets I was about to land in Schipol airport.... It seems that in some european countries 5 cm of snow is enough to completely mess airway traffic. I'm pretty sure it must appear weird to people from countries where most of the airports are under the snow several months a year ... but that's it. So sorry not to be able to attend the meeting since I'd have like to be able to hear lot of intersting topics schedulded on the agenda and to have the possibility to present what I'd prepared. The consolation is I probably wouldn't have been able to fit my 26 slides in 10-15 mn. So may I require a half an hour slot for the next meeting in May ? See you on the mailing list -or at Krasnapolski until friday noon... Cheers, +Bernard T.

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Minutes for the ipv6 wg session RIPE45
by David Kessens 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Hi, We didn't receive any comments on the minutes in the comment period so the draft minutes (v1) are now declared final. Please see below for the minutes of the ipv6 session at RIPE45. David K. --- Minutes IPv6 Working Group RIPE 45 The IPv6 Working Group session Wednesday 14 May, 16.30 - 18.30 A. Administrative Stuff: Chair (David Kessens, Nokia) Scribe (Timothy Lowe, RIPE NCC) Actions: 44.1 RIPE NCC Enable reverse delegation for the 6bone Andrei: after much discussion, 6bone will do it for themselves. #Action point closed# 44.2 Bernard Tuy To co-ordinate an IPv6 routing guideline document Discussion ongoing with Marc Blanchet (Hexago) for more comprehensive document. David: this point is being passed to the routing working group. #Action point closed# 44.3 RIPE NCC To investigate with IANA increasing the size of RIR allocations to rationalize routing David: discussion has begun between the parties so we can close this one. Gert Doering (Spacenet): I see at least 3 /23s being delegated in the interim and this is a shame. David: it is a bit tech and a bit policy so I this might need to go to the LIR working group. John Crain: ICANN There are discussions concerning this with the RIRs about a temporary solution. #action point closed#, discussion moved to policy working group 44.4 RIPE NCC Report back to the working group what the status is and what the issues are regarding: - enabling AAAA glue records in the . zone - AAAA glue records for delegations to TLDs - AAAA glue records for the root servers themselves, enabling ipv6 transport to the . zone John: AAAA in the root there are possible issues with too many AAAA records into the root zone. In the lab we are building a root zone with lots of AAAA queries to prove it is safe. We don't believe there will be any issues but we have some requests for this so we have to come back with proof that it is stable before going ahead. The Root server advisory committee will be asked to approve this before the summer. Mohsen Souissi (AFNIC): The request for comments document from IANA was run by myself and I sent IANA my comments. We have no issues for .fr with AAAA glue records under the root zone. Mr Vixie was asked to comment and had no technical issues. We have been waiting for a long time. John: yes I saw that and according to his draft not RFC but draft it has no issues but we have to ensure that it doesn't just work for .fr but for everyone. Also we have had little comment on his draft and no other tech tests of this. However we see that it is a good idea and we want to have this implemented as soon as possible. David: Who needs to sign off on this? John: inet clue elite David: good, it's not lost in the department of commerce. John: No we just have to present solid evidence to the Department of Commerce so they can approve Andrei:we tried to research this by asking Verisign what registrars support AAAA records. They said they don't know. Fortunately our registrar did it and we found that it was only blocked at the root zone. We wanted to change our registrar but the new one had no interest in doing AAAA dns. David: I think others have the same problem can you make public who is willing to do it? Lars-Johan Liman: can we see a way of changing the name on the right hand side of the ns delegation so that it doesn't conflict with the ns.ripe.net. Like ns6.ripe.net (we already have this see www.ripe.net/reverse) Andrei:I agree we should look into this but it was just to clarify that it should be looked into. David: this a DNS issue so we should pass it to them. Ok we should keep action open so we can hear about progress in this area? Good we keep it. B. Status of the 6bone http://www.kessens.com/~david/presentations/ (David Kessens) 6bone registry is now reachable over v6 in all aspects. Draft phase out plan of the addresses has been proposed. The cut off date for allocating ptlas is 20040101 and the date of phase out is 20060606. Some stats are 60 countries with ptlas in the 6bone C. University of Tennessee IPv6 network storage stack http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-45/presentations/ ripe45-ipv6-logistic.pdf (Alessandro Bassi - LoCI - Univ of Tennessee) Logistical networking, which is based on distributed network storage, is a project of the UTK Logistical Computing and Internetworking Lab. The LoCI Lab website: http://loci.cs.utk.edu/ D. Global IPv6 routing table status http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-45/presentations/ ripe45-ipv6-table/ (Gert Doering) Slide 12: Kurtis Lindqvist, Netnod: Can you track which blocks are allocated and which are routed? Also the delay between when the allocation was made and when it was first routed? Gert: My scripts don't do it but I can do that. I will look into it but no promises. Mohsen: Tunis isn't in Europe (refers to slide 15) Gert: sure but its around the mediteranian so around the corner sort of Europe. E. Report(s) about actual v6 traffic volume as compared to v4? http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-45/presentations/ ripe45-tt-ipv6/page1.htm (Henk Uijterwaal, RIPE NCC) The test traffic project is now also able to measure the ipv6 Internet.
