Dear colleagues, The IPv6 Fundamentals – Analyst exam is now live! You can use your LIR’s vouchers to schedule a RIPE NCC Certified Professionals exam using our online exam platform. The IPv6 Fundamentals - Analyst exam is intended for individuals who are familiar with best current practices in IPv6. It certifies your ability to calculate IPv6 subnets, create an IPv6 addressing plan and recognise the application of IPv6 transition mechanisms, among other skills. We would like to thank the RIPE community members who supported the exam creation process by writing and reviewing questions, and also answering our Job Task Analysis survey. You can find out more about the IPv6 Fundamentals – Analyst badge at: https://www.ripe.net/support/certified-professionals/ipv6-fundamentals-anal… <https://www.ripe.net/support/certified-professionals/ipv6-fundamentals-anal…> As for us here at Learning and Development, we’re getting back to work on our next exam – IPv6 Security Expert, which we expect to launch towards the end of 2020 or early 2021. All the best for the exam! Best regards, Sandra Bras Assistant Manager, Learning and Development RIPE NCC

I haven't been through the document or the entire thread yet, but I do observe that a number of people have comments, and several people have expressed interest in the document. Let me ask the obvious question: you we want to adopt this as a working group draft? I won't ask you to hum; whether you wish to say "yes", "no", or "abstain", please reply to this email *privately* (which is to say, to v6ops-chairs) with that word prepended on the subject line.

by Mirjam Kuehne 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Dear colleagues, In this new article on RIPE Labs we're looking at IPv6 adoption statistics provided by various organisations. How far do they match, and if not, why not? https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wilhelm/ipv6-adoption-statistics-a-comparison… Please note the link to the interactive maps that allow for a quick visual comparison of the results. If you have any feedback or additional information about these results, we welcome input in the comment section below the article. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Fwd: slaac-renum: New rev of draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum (Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08.txt)
by Fernando Gont 19 May '20

19 May '20

Folks, This is one of the documents I presented at the last RIPE IPv6 WG meeting. Thought you might be interested. Thanks! Cheers, Fernando -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: slaac-renum: New rev of draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum (Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08.txt) Date: Tue, 19 May 2020 03:38:18 -0300 From: Fernando Gont <fgont(a)si6networks.com> To: 6man(a)ietf.org <6man(a)ietf.org> Folks, We have posted a revision of draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum. It is available at: https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08.txt The main changes incorporated in this version are: * We have eliminated the counter-based algorithm from Section 4.5 Previous revisions of the draft contained two alternative algorithms in Section 4.5: a counter-based algorithm, and a timer-based algorithm. The timer-based algorithm is more robust and simple, so it didn't make sense to keep the counter-based algorithm. (Kudos to Philip Homburg for "pushing" us to improve the algorithm). * Clarified the terminology used in the document This is a rather minor detail. We simply have spelled out that throughout the document, "GUAs" refer to "globally reachable" addresses (as opposed to ULAs). The diff from the last rev is available at: https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08.txt As always, your feedback will be appreciated. Thanks! Cheers, Fernando -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: New Version Notification for draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08.txt Date: Mon, 18 May 2020 23:25:39 -0700 From: internet-drafts(a)ietf.org To: Richard Patterson <richard.patterson(a)sky.uk>, Jan Zorz <jan(a)go6.si>, Fernando Gont <fgont(a)si6networks.com> A new version of I-D, draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08.txt has been successfully submitted by Fernando Gont and posted to the IETF repository. Name: draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum Revision: 08 Title: Improving the Robustness of Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) to Flash Renumbering Events Document date: 2020-05-18 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 24 URL: https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum/ Htmlized: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08 Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum Diff: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-08 Abstract: In renumbering scenarios where an IPv6 prefix suddenly becomes invalid, hosts on the local network will continue using stale prefixes for an unacceptably long period of time, thus resulting in connectivity problems. This document improves the reaction of IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration to such renumbering scenarios. Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org. The IETF Secretariat
