IPv6 on P2P links
by Jasper Jans 30 May '11

30 May '11

Can anyone give me some real world experience with IPv6 numbering on P2P links in their network? I've seen the recommendations swing from '/64' to '/127 if your equipment can handle it' and even to 'do not assign anything at all just use link-local' and access your devices over the loopback which your IGP will distribute. The last option seems interesting to me from a IP assignment point of few. It safes me having to allocate a block for this part of the infrastructure. I'm just wondering if in the long run it will not make life harder. Jasper Op dit e-mailbericht is een disclaimer van toepassing, welke te vinden is op http://www.espritxb.nl/disclaimer

Test your connectivity for World IPv6 Day
by Mirjam Kuehne 27 May '11

27 May '11

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is preparing some measurements for World IPv6 Day. One of them is the IPv6 eye chart, a web page that allows you to test your connectivity to selected dual-stacked web sites and World IPv6 participants. The goal is to see if an end user has connectivity problems to dual-stacked websites. You can read more on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/world-ipv6-day-ipv6-eye-chart The test can be found here: http://ipv6eyechart.ripe.net/ If you have any questions or want to be included in the test, please contact us at labs at ripe dot net.

RE: [ipv6-wg] IPv6 on P2P links
by Elad Hefetz 26 May '11

26 May '11

The major problem I can assume happen when using only link local is the issue of replacing hardware. When you replace the cards on the routers it will require you to change the internal routing protocol (IS-IS \ OSPF). Another issue is debugging - when using trace route - all you will see is link-local addresses which make it very difficult to debug issues. We are configuring all our P2P links with /64 prefix on each link. This is not idle and very wasteful way, but it's the only solution to not interfere with RFCs and standards. Also - this is the only way to be multi vendors prepared, be ready for future to come with new IPv6 applications and products.

IPv6 CPE Survey - Initial Results on RIPE Labs
by Mirjam Kuehne 23 May '11

23 May '11

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, Since we published the IPv6 customer premise equipment (CPE) survey during the RIPE 63 meeting, we received more than 100 responses. This new article on RIPE Labs shows some interesting initial results: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco/ipv6-cpe-survey-results-may-2011 The survey is still open. If you are using an IPv6 capable CPE and have not yet filled in the survey, we would like to encourage you to do so. The survey can be found here: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco/ipv6-cpe-survey-please-participate Kind Regards, Marco Hogewoning & Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

IPv6 filtering in an ISP environment
by Erik Bais 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I'm looking for examples on what people have implemented as ingress filtering for IPv6 prefixes in an BGP environment. I'm would like to get some sort of filter that will not require daily maintenance based on assigned prefixes by the RIR. I'm leaning towards having some sort of filtering based on: Drop anything from bogon list allow RIR PA space - between /12 - /35 Allow RIR PI space between /32 - /48. (For instance for the RIPE 2001:67c::/32 & 2001:7f8::/32 parts ) So basically, a bit more strict filter than allow 2003::/3 and not having to update it daily with each assignment made J Also some insight in why you have selected to filter on a specific prefix length is very helpful.

Thought for World IPv6 Day
by Martin Millnert 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I'm thinking that in order for maximizing productive yield of World IPv6 Day as IPv6-believers would like, laying out the relevant steps to take for ISPs, content providers and individual users in a pedagogical manner could be cool (i.e highly useful). I'm imagining something similar to what Google did with http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html for Chrome. I have no idea who would be in charge to bring that about, or if it is at all possible to achieve in the few days left. I hope others are better suited to answer this. Cheers, Martin

IPv6 RIPEness - One Year later
by Mirjam Kuehne 04 May '11

04 May '11

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, A year ago we introduced IPv6 RIPEness - a system that rates IPv6 deployment of Local Internet Registries based on certain criteria. Now, one year later, we were curious to see how the numbers have changed. Please read the update on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ipv6-ripeness-one-year-later Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
