Re: raw ipv6 sockets - sin6_scope_id field
by Aviraj Saha 25 Jul '05

Hi This value needs to be set to the interface index which is returned by the "ip link" command if you are using link local address, and if the 3 rd and 4 th byte is zero. Otherwise the value which is set in the third and fourth byte of the in6_addr structure. Hope this answers your question. With Regards Aviraj Saha

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] New IPv6 Address Block Allocated to RIPE NCC
by leo vegoda 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the IPv6 address range 2A01:0000::/23 from the IANA in July 2005. We will begin making allocations from this block in the near future. You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly. More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC can be found on our web site at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-ncc-managed-address-space.html This document has been updated to to provide extra information about the IPv6 address space we manage, following some requests we received. I hope people find the new format useful. Regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Allocation behaviour (organisations getting multiple /32's)]

Hi Jeroen, It is great to know that you are paying attention to allocations that are being made in other region. I would like to clarify the reason why APNIC made muliple allocations to UUNET. UUNET have multiple memberships with APNIC based on the networks in the region. As each economy, membership, managing their own address space therefore they also requesting for IP address separately. For aggregation purpose APNIC normally make allocations from contiguous block, as you can see from these allocations. This is similar to making a large allocation to an organisation then they further splitting between network for each economy. I hope the above explanation answered some of your queries if you need further information please feel free to contact us.

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] ipv6-enabled webserver
by Thu Thuy 18 Jul '05

18 Jul '05

Hi, all I'm in my way to investigate on ipv6 trial and implementation. Now i'm stucking with a quite big question on ipv6-enabled software. As i saw, ipv6 web services is entirely implemented in almost such large ipv6 research projects as KAME, WIDE, GEANT... In Japan, some ISPs offer ipv6 web hosting to their customers. Many websites support native ipv6 such as RIPE, APNIC... Could you pls show me what kind of webserver software be used in above-mentioned projects and organisations to fully implement ipv6 web service to users. Thanks.

I just noticed that UUNET/MCI got an additional 3 /32's: inet6num: 2001:4441::/32 netname: UUNET-AU-NETBLOCK-20050708 descr: UUNET Australia Limited descr: UUNET Network country: AU inet6num: 2001:4440::/32 netname: UUNET-HK-NETBLOCK-20050708 descr: UUNET Worldcom Hong Kong Ltd descr: UUNET Network country: HK inet6num: 2001:4442::/32 netname: UUNET-JP-NETBLOCK-20050708 descr: UUNET Japan, Ltd descr: UUNET Network country: JP They where all assigned to 1 person, who apparently works for UUNET/MCI in the US, not even the APNIC region, not even a role. Did somebody say goodbye to aggregation? Btw UUNET also has: 2001:600::/32 (Europe) Apparently nothing in the US, in total 4x /32. 4 slots gone away. Are all global companies going to request separate /32's ? Greets, Jeroen
