List of IPv6 measurements published on RIPE Labs
by Mirjam Kuehne 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

[I am sorry if you receive this more than once.] Dear colleagues, Please see two articles related to IPv6 Measurements recently published on RIPE Labs: 1. A list of IPv6 measurements various people and organisations are doing with a short description and pointers to the actual results of the measurements http://labs.ripe.net/content/ipv6-measurement-compilation 2. An interview with Alain Durand about the IPv6 measurements he is doing at Comcast together with the University of Pennsylvania http://labs.ripe.net/content/ipv6-monitor We would like to get feedback from you about the measurements presented. How would you chose to measure the growing deployment of IPv6? Have you set criteria for when you will deploy IPv6? Let us know what information and analysis would be helpful to assist you in the deployment of IPv6. And would measurements influence your decision to deploy IPv6 or not? Please go to the forum at http://labs.ripe.net/node/ipv6-measurements or contact me directly at labs(a)ripe.net. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

IPv6 Pilot in NL: seeking customers
by Marco Hogewoning 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

(wearing my XS4ALL hat) We just announced to the media we are expanding our current trials to support native IPv6 over DSL to 1000 lines. These 1000 places are given away on a first come first serve basis. To give everybody a fair chance people can subscribe to this pilot starting Friday April 2nd, 12:00 CEST. In this pilot we ask for people to supply their own DSL cpe which is IPv6 capable or even hack around with linux images where possible. This pilot will serve 3 main goals: - Test interoperability between our gear and setup and the solitions currently on the market - Test those CPE solutions in the wild, we tested some of them in our own lab but it's hardly the same as everyday use in a random residential environement. - Fine tune our support procedures and figure out what training is needed. Next to that We'd love to see what problems will arise when IPv6 is switched on in a regular residential networking environment. Now obviously, since this is a DSL pilot there are some geographical boundaries on who can enter. If you happen to live in the Netherlands and are an XS4ALL customer please do subscribe. We already posted a list with some of the CPE we have tested and are known to work, these include some AVM FRITZ!Box models, some cisco SOHO boxes (8xx serie) and the latest release of Draytek Vigor. If you happen to know some others or happen to built DSL modems yourself, please contact me of list. Basic requirements are ADSL2+ with PPPoA, IPCP and IPv6CP using DHCPv6-PD to get the addresses. As a first result, the press release was picked up by a lot of media and the comments are mostly positive. Hopefully in a few weeks time we have some more data to report on. The original annoucement (in Dutch): http://www.xs4all.nl/klant/ipv6/ MarcoH

Internet Society IPv6 Workshop
by Phil Roberts 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

The Internet Society is hosting an IPv6 Deployment Day on April 22 in Seattle, Washington. The meeting is intended for operators who have deployed, are deploying, or are planning to deploy IPv6 in their networks. The proposed topics include business related issues for IPv6 deployment, discussion of pitfalls in IPv6 deployment, and specific technical issues due to IPv6 deployment that potentially affect the whole Internet. This is an open meeting and all are welcome, but space is limited so you will need to register: https://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/registration/?id=7ce20e4c88b7e328. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, Phil Roberts (roberts(a)isoc.org), or Mat Ford (ford(a)isoc.org).

Spam sent over IPv6 - See results on RIPE Labs
by Mirjam Kuehne 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, We were curious to see how much spam is sent over IPv6 these days. Find the results on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/content/spam-over-ipv6 We will continue to measure this. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kühne

Measuring IPv6 at Web Clients and Caching Resolvers
by Mirjam Kuehne 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, As the remaining IPv4 space continues to shrink, it’s important to keep an eye on how the IPv6 Internet develops. We prototyped a method to measure the IPv6 capabilities of caching DNS resolvers that end-users use when browsing the web. The results of these measurements are now published on RIPE Labs: 1. A summary of the measurements and results can be found here: http://labs.ripe.net/content/measuring-ipv6-web-clients-and-caching-resolve… 2. Some more detailed analysis (including a breakdown of IPv6 usage per country and city) are here: http://labs.ripe.net/content/measuring-ipv6-web-clients-and-caching-resolve… 3. The methodology we use for these measurements are described here: http://labs.ripe.net/content/measuring-ipv6-web-clients-and-caching-resolve… All articles can be accessed from the RIPE Labs home page at http://labs.ripe.net If you have any comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to submit them to the RIPE Labs forum or send them directly to me. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Call for agenda items for RIPE in Prague
by Shane Kerr 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hello all, The next RIPE meeting in Prague is coming up. We would like your input on the agenda for the meeting. We are hoping to have a brainstorming session at the beginning of the IPv6 working group, to try to come up with some ideas about how we can achieve the goals in our new charter. We would also like other items. Our intention is to look at each topic and try to get ones of interest to the larger RIPE community in the EOF portion of the meeting, and have the IPv6 working group focus on things interesting to people working in the IPv6 world. All items that are IPv6-related are of interest. Please send your proposals to David, Marco, or myself - all reasonable offers considered. Your friendly co-chair, -- Shane

IANA depletion in less than 1 year?
by Shane Kerr 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Hey all, I noticed this site in someone's signature: http://ipv4depletion.com/ It uses a different prediction than the well-known one by Geoff Huston, although the results are not too different (which I guess is good): http://ipv4depletion.com/?page_id=4 Interesting. :) -- Shane

IPv6 allocations for 6RD
by Jan Boogman 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi, we are planning to offer IPv6 connectivity to our xDSL and FTTH customer base via IPv6-6RD. (see <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-townsley-ipv6-6rd-01> or for a working implementation Free's presentation at RIPE-58: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-58/content/presentations/ipv6-free.p…>). We asked RIPE NCC for a larger than /32 allocation (because of the way how 6RD encapsulates the customers IPv4 address in his IPv6 address and also because we want to give the customer a small subnet). The IPRA now isn't sure how to proceed and after consultation with the Policy Development Manager asked me to pose the question to the community at large. What do you think, should RIPE NCC allocate larger than /32 blocks to LIRs for cases like this and not only based on the number of end-customers? Cheers Jan Swisscom IP-Plus - AS3303
