26 Jul '10

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, Since Marco Hogewoning published the first version of the IPv6 CPE Survey on RIPE Labs just after the RIPE Meeting in May, he found additional information. The most up-to-date matrix, including data we received from some of the vendors in the meantime is now published on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/ipv6-cpe-survey-updated Should you have any additional experience with some of the equipment listed there, please leave a comment under the article or contact us at labs(a)ripe.net Kind Regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Addressing plan exercise for our IPv6 course
by Nathalie Trenaman 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

The Training team has been working on an exercise for the IPv6 training course we deliver for LIRs. It's aimed at people who are unfamiliar with IPv6, so the goal is to get them to the point where once they get their IPv6 /32 allocation, they have a good idea how to subdivide prefixes over their network and how to write an addressing plan. Here's a PDF with the exercise (two pages A3): http://bit.ly/c7jZRJ We are curious to hear if you think it's clear and useful. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nathalie Trenaman RIPE NCC Trainer (Big props go to Marco Hogewoning @XS4ALL)

IPv4 reaches a milestone: 365 days left
by Ahmed Abu-Abed 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Greetings, Today the IPv4 counters show there is 1 year left for IANA IPv4 depletion date or X-Day, more details on the IPv6 Forum website. Note that this is a conservative estimate as a few months ago the prediction was October 2011. A less conservative estimate taking into consideration exponential growth of IPv4 demand on a regional level shows April 2011 for X-Day, more at http://ipv4depletion.com/ Best wishes, -Ahmed P.S.

Last call to participate: 2010 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey
by Paul Rendek 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, This is a last-call reminder to participate in the 2010 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey, conducted by GNKS Consult and TNO in collaboration with the RIPE NCC. The survey is available at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IPv6deploymentmonitoring2010 The deadline to complete the survey is this Thursday, 1 July 2010. All five Regional Internet Registries have committed to soliciting participation in this survey in order to compile the most complete global IPv6 deployment data possible. The goal of the survey is to gain a better understanding of where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. We encourage all organisations in the RIPE NCC service region to participate in this survey, which we hope will establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey is composed of 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed at RIPE 61, which will be held 15-19 November in Rome, Italy. Results will also be published on IPv6 Act Now: http://ipv6actnow.org Please provide your name and contact information on the survey form if you wish to receive the draft survey analysis when available. Please also indicate whether you are willing to share additional data with the TNO and GNKS Consult IPv6 Deployment Monitoring team. Any questions concerning the survey itself should be addressed to <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC
