Our goal is to announce every allocated /12 (1 from each RIR) first sequentially and then together.

Is there any document to read about that "large IPv6 darknet experiment" you at Merit are going to run in accordance also with RIPE NCC? (I'm aware of what Geoff Juston made at APINIC in June 2010 with 2400::/12 https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/background-radiation-in-ipv6) I was wondering if any consensus is needed before starting such a big thing that involves IPv6 production networks as well. I mean: when my route6 is not announced via BGP, it's supposed that every packet sent to it doesn't get anywhere, hopefully. OTOH, if during this experiment, for any reason (wanted or not), my prefix is no more announced, I'm afraid the /12 would attract (perhaps hijack?) those packets (actually breaking, I believe, any existent ROA for the prefix). So, just asking: what kind of packets are going to be collected and how stored, analysed and by whom?

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, Geoff Huston gave an interesting presenting at the recent NANOG meeting showing another way to measure IPv6 deployment. This time he looked at the DNS. His findings are now published on RIPE Labs: "Counting IPv6 in the DNS" https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/counting-ipv6-in-the-dns Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

It's a simple petition to request IPv6 support for Skype. I am not going to argue about the effectiveness of the approach, each person can do that. http://www.change.org/petitions/skype-add-ipv6-support-to-skype Joao

6a44
by Aleksi Suhonen 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Hi, A new RFC (RFC6751) defines a new transition technology called 6a44 that (re)uses 192.88.99.0/24. As an operator of a 6to4 relay router, I'm looking for implementations of 6a44. A google search yielded nothing, so I wonder if anyone here has heard of any implementations in progress? -- Aleksi Suhonen / TREX

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, Following up on a question raised during RIPE 65, we used RIPE Atlas to see if we can detect significant filtering of AAAA DNS queries or replies. Please read our findings on RIPE Labs: RIPE Atlas - A Case Study of AAAA Filtering https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/ripe-atlas-case-study-of-aaaa-filte… Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
