Not sure why this email doesn't go thru, just trying again ... Hi all, See below my previous email to other exploders. I believe is specially important for this WG to provide inputs regarding concrete actions, so please, repeating myself, let me know !. Also, the slides regarding the big allocations had been updated with the last week Telia inputs (published only since today with their consent). By the way, in case you aren't aware of, the site http://www.ist-ipv6.org publish news (as many as we can) about IPv6, you can register there to receive a weekly update also. Regards, Jordi *** Hi all, Please, see the very recent news below. Regarding the cooperation with the RIRs, it will be helpful to get ideas and inputs from all the involved communities in order to concrete actions, so let me know !

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] RE: [6bone] /20 allocated - update your BGP filters!
by Jason Everard 12 May '04

12 May '04

Hi Gert, Having lived in Europe for most of my life, EU is not a country, rather a collection of countries. I'm not sure if it is just standard practice to list the European country under "EU", but wouldn't it be better to have "ES" for Espania? Just being picky. Kind regards, Jason Everard SANS Certified, CISSP, CCIE Security Senior Technical Consultant Network & Security Design Telecom Advanced Solutions Telecom New Zealand Tel: +64-9-363-3002 ext: 93002 Mobile: +64-27-478-3931 -----Original Message----- From: 6bone-bounces(a)mailman.isi.edu [mailto:6bone-bounces@mailman.isi.edu] On Behalf Of Gert Doering Sent: Tuesday, 11 May 2004 3:57 a.m. To: 6bone(a)ISI.EDU; ipv6-wg(a)ripe.net Subject: [6bone] /20 allocated - update your BGP filters!

I have updated the prefix filter recommendation page: http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.html and urge you to check whether your filters are prepared for these large prefixes. (There is a /23 upcoming, and rumors speak of a /19 being requested "real soon now"). TODO: the "strict" filter could do some grouping for different IPv6 allocation ranges, but this is dangerous today, as we don't know how future allocations will look like. Note: ICANN just doesn't get it. They have not allocated a reasonable prefix size to RIPE (like a /8), not even a /19, but "a big chunk of 14 sucessive /23s, summing up to a /20+/21+/22" - see the list at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-tla-assignments Gert Doering -- RIPE Address Policy WG Co-Chair, keeper of the IPv6 filter list -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 60210 (58081) SpaceNet AG Mail: netmaster(a)Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-299 _______________________________________________ 6bone mailing list 6bone(a)mailman.isi.edu http://mailman.isi.edu/mailman/listinfo/6bone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Actual IPv6 traffic
by Iljitsch van Beijnum 04 May '04

04 May '04

From the agenda: > C. Report(s) about *actual* v6 traffic volume as compared to v4? > *what's real* out there, not what's on powerpoint? > (input from the audience) My input in advance: I've been running some web measurements using a small image that can be linked on web pages to see whether the visitors are v6-capable or not. (The host that has the image has an IPv6 address and notes whether the image is requested over v4 or v6.) The results over the past months: Site IPv4 IPv6 Total 0 151 ( 98.05%) 3 ( 1.95%) 154 3 334 ( 94.35%) 20 ( 5.65%) 354 6 1355 ( 82.02%) 297 ( 17.98%) 1652 7 57 ( 75.00%) 19 ( 25.00%) 76 8 20107 ( 99.85%) 31 ( 0.15%) 20138 10 2918 ( 84.43%) 538 ( 15.57%) 3456 Totals 24925 ( 96.49%) 908 ( 3.51%) 25833 Note that the numbers refer to different sites with very different usage and IPv6 interest levels. Only number 8 is a very mainstream non-networking site (in Dutch) so I think this one represents average IPv6 capability for the web surfing public fairly well, at around 1 user in 666 requesting the counter image over IPv6. :-) See http://www.muada.com/ to see the counter in action and for a link to the results page. (BTW, it would help if someone would type sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 on router.ripemtg.ripe.net, or, failing that, kill the rtadvd.)

Below follows an updated agenda for the ipv6 wg for RIPE48. I managed to find a a volunteer for: What are the deployment plans behind the larger ipv6 allocations? (more volunteers are welcome) I also changed the scheduling to accomodate some of our speakers. We probably still have some time left so I will allow last minute additions to the agenda.
