Happy Eyeballs bias
by Sander Steffann 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Hi, Very good presentation on Happy Eyeballs at the WG session today. It might indeed be true that lowering the HE "head start" for IPv6 from 300ms to 150ms might cause a slight increase in performance. However, as Geoff Huston pointed out, HE is not about getting the best performance, it's meant to move traffic to IPv6 (so IPv4 traffic will go down, and we can know when we can turn off IPv4) without breaking the user experience when IPv6 is broken. It was (and still is) an important argument for website owners to be comfortable enough to actually deploy IPv6 and not be too worried about client experience breaking. But it is also hiding IPv6 brokenness, removing an incentive for website owners to actually fixing IPv6 errors and causing IPv6 to be taken less seriously... So, how about we go the other way. We want IPv6 to be taken more seriously. What about if we change the algorithm the other way over time: give IPv6 more and more of a head start. That way IPv6 stability and performance become more important over time, without causing brokenness. Something like: HE head start = 300 + (months after 2017-01-01) * 30 That would provide some incentive to make sure that IPv6 is properly deployed and managed. Cheers, Sander

Chair selection: call for candidates
by Anna Wilson 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Hello all, The working group selected Jen, Benedikt and myself as co-chairs at RIPE69 in November 2014. At RIPE70, we adopted this procedure for replacing chairs: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ipv6-wg/2015-May/002615.html This provides for a three year term. Since all three of us were selected at the same meeting, our terms would expire simultaneously in late 2017. To encourage continuity, I plan to step down next month at RIPE73. We therefore call for candidates for the post of IPv6 working group chair. If you would like to stand for selection, please announce so to the mailing list. The closing date for candidates is 23:59 UTC on Friday 21st October 2016. (The Friday before the RIPE73 meeting.) As per the procedure, the selection itself will take place during the working group session at RIPE73. Best regards, Anna -- Anna Wilson, Service Desk Manager web: www.heanet.ie HEAnet Ltd, 5 George's Dock, IFSC, Dublin 1 tel: +353-1-660-9040 Registered in Ireland, no 275301 fax: +353-1-660-3666

We are looking for presenters who would: - Offer a technical tutorial on an appropriate topic; - Participate in the technical conference sessions as a speaker; - Convene and chair panel sessions of relevant topics. Please submit on-line at: http://papers.apricot.net/user/login.php?event=48 CONFERENCE MILESTONES --------------------- Call for Papers Opens: Now Draft Program Published: As Papers Confirmed Final Deadline for Submissions: 30 January 2016 Final Program Published: 6 February 2017 Final Slides Received: 13 February 2017 *NOTE THAT REGARDLESS OF DEADLINES SLOTS ARE FILLED ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS* PROGRAMME MATERIAL ------------------ The APRICOT Conference Programme consists of three parts, these being the Peering Forum, Tutorials, and Conference Tracks. Topics proposed must be relevant to Internet Operations and Technologies: - IPv4 / IPv6 Routing and operations - IPv6 deployment and transition technologies - Internet backbone operations - ISP and Carrier services - IXPs and Peering - Research on Internet Operations and Deployment - Software Defined Networking / Network Function Virtualisaton - Network security issues (NSP-SEC, DDoS, Anti-Spam, Anti-Malware) - DNS / DNSSEC - Internet policy (Security, Regulation, Content Management, Addressing, etc) - Access and Transport Technologies, including Cable/DSL, 3G/LTE, wireless, metro ethernet, fibre, MPLS - Content & Service Delivery (Multicast, Voice, Video, "telepresence", Gaming) and Cloud Computing CfP SUBMISSION -------------- Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be provided with CfP submissions otherwise the Programme Committee will be unable to review the submission. For avoidance of doubt this means that submissions which do not include slides will be rejected immediately. For work in progress, the most current information available at time of submission is acceptable. All draft and complete slides must be submitted in PDF format only. Final slides are to be provided by the specified deadline for publication on the APRICOT website. Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking slots will be filled well before the final submission deadline. The PC may, at their discretion, retain a limited number of slots up to the final submission deadline for presentations that are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance. Every year we turn away submissions, due to filling up all available programme slots before the deadline. Presenters should endeavour to get material into the PC sooner rather than later. Any questions or concerns should be addressed to the Programme Committee by e-mail at: pc-chairs at apricot.net We look forward to receiving your presentation proposals.

FYI Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wim Degezelle <wdegezelle(a)drmv.be> Date: Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 4:01 PM Subject: [Bp_ixps] IXPs & IPv6 To: bp_ixps(a)intgovforum.org Cc: Izumi Okutani <izumi(a)nic.ad.jp> Hi All, The Best Practice Forum on IPv6 is looking at the IPv6 deployment by companies and organisations, and wants to include a paragraph on IXPs. This should be a general statement on the IPv6 readiness of IXPs in the world, and briefly discuss motivation and challenges. I found a Euro-IX statement <http://www.netnod.se/sites/default/files/Euro-IX_IPv6_press.pdf> from June 2011 that announced that all Euro-IX members are IPv6 ready and enabled. Does anyone knows of recent updates or statements on the IPv6-readines of IXPs? FYI the BPF IPv6 draft is available on google docs ( link <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z60lBcIk7U3LAFEK9V7dIQ11OWFx71zqmMAcs9u…> ).

New on RIPE Labs: IPv6 and DNS (by Geoff Huston)
by Mirjam Kuehne 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, Please find this new post by Geoff Huston on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/ipv6-and-the-dns "The exhortations about the Internet’s prolonged transition to version 6 of the Internet Protocol continue, although after some two decades the intensity of the rhetoric has faded and, possibly surprisingly, it has been replaced by action in some notable parts of the Internet. But how do we know there is action? How can we tell whether, and where, IPv6 is being deployed in today’s Internet?" Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Supporting IPv6 Deployment Through Policy
by Marco Schmidt 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, It was about a year ago that the RIPE community reached consensus on a policy proposal that introduced additional criteria for initial IPv6 allocations. We thought it was time to look back the origins of this proposal and see how the change has worked out since: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_schmidt/supporting-ipv6-deployment-thro… Regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum
