Hello, Is there anyone in this group that would dare to speculate on the sudden drop in IPv6 adoption for my country, the Netherlands on this URL? https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-ad… The drop is best shown here: https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/project.php -- Marco

IPv6 multi-homing for site resilience
by Paolo Volpato 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Dear WG, To document the currently available IPv6-based solutions to support multi-homing connectivity (e.g. a typical requirement of an enterprise site) we have developed the draft "IPv6 Site Connection to Many Carriers" (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-fbnvv-v6ops-site-multihoming/). The draft, co-authored by five people, is active in the IETF v6ops WG. The target we’d like to achieve is to provide a list of the possible ways to support multi-homing through IPv6, discussing the pros and the cons of each method. You will notice, we have included in the current list the common mechanisms (e.g. PI addressing or PA multi-prefix assignment) but also NPTv6 and even NAT66, despite the fact that are not considered positively by the majority of the IPv6 community. The reason for sharing is twofold. On the one hand, we’d like to get the feedback of the community on the technical content, e.g. whether anything is missing or needs more discussion. On the other, we have prepared a short survey to collect data from the field and get a picture of the solutions that are more widely deployed. The survey is anonymous and can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvj4VtixaoXpMpfXhUJawXdQ60MzBKKp6…. If possible, we’ll discuss the draft content and the relevant survey at the next RIPE meeting. Thank you for your cooperation. Paolo

Status IPv6 Policy Draft
by Tobias Fiebig 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

Heho, i am currently scrolling over my inbox, and was wondering what the status of the v6 policy draft is (with 87 coming up). Is anyone already working on a draft to discuss? Otherwise, I could take a shot to have something ready closer to 87 which picks up the major points from prior discussions. With best regards, Tobias -- Dr.-Ing.

Clear Guidance for Enterprises
by Wilhelm Boeddinghaus 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

Hi, at the end of my talk during the RIPE86 IPv6 working group I promised to start work on a paper with clear guidance for enterprises to migrate their networks to IPv6. We have often wondere why enterprises do not migrate to IPv6. One possible answer is: They have no time and they lack knowledge. Many IT departments don't have any spare time for reading RFCs. From my understanding these IT departments don't need papers explaining the many possibilites to choose from. They need very clear guidance and examples. I am looking for 3 to 4 people who would like to start working on this with me. Peter Hessler contacted me during the meeting and he offered his help, time and expertise for this project. Thank you, Peter. Best, Wilhelm

Re: [ipv6-wg] contents of ipv6-wg Digest, Vol 135, Issue 10
by Clodagh Durkan 26 Jun '23

Hi Wilhelm, all, I am also really interested in this topic, really suspect it’s not broken for the most enterprises so why invest into what’s a whole new re architecture, skills in-house may also not exist. expensive in people and technology and high risk migration. Gsma announced this year global IOT devices surpassed SIMs this year, both now at 2bn + so change is already coming from the networks.

Not standing as working group chair for another term
by Benedikt Stockebrand 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

Hi folks, as I've already said during the working group session in Rotterdam my term as WG chair ends at the next RIPE meeting. Since I find it increasingly difficult to make the WG chair role agree with my daily work profile (too much firefighting, too little of a routine daily schedule), Jen and Ray had to cover for me more often than I am happy with---thanks, and apology, to both of them. As a consequence however it doesn't make any sense if I stood for another term. We'll start the process of finding a successor for me before RIPE 87. If you are interested in taking over the role, and are willing to keep a pretty much daily eye on the mailing list and such, you may already want to think about volunteering for the job. And one more thing: That doesn't mean that I have lost interest in the WG, or in IPv6 as such---in fact, in my opinion we still have some serious work to do eliminating the hidden dependencies on Vintage IP before they bite us in the backside. More about that at RIPE 87 in Rome...
