Hi! Can anybody reach 2001:502:d399::1? It is the DNS server listed in the .org and some other TLDs. Now I'm getting ICMP6 host unreachable and DNS slows down slightly, -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)

Comercial IPv6 availability in the Nordics
by Hans Petter Holen 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

This spring I renegotiated our corporate VPN and Internet agreements. In the request for interest/proposals I among other things asked for IPv6 availability. Since I the company I work for, Visma, has offices in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland there was not that many ISPs to ask. >From the 4 that was able to offer service in all the Nordic countries only one of them answered Yes - but added "not for production - we do not offer any SLA on this service yet." -hph (and yes - I did choose the provider that said they could offer IPv6 - but for other reasons like price and SLA conditions)

During the next RIPE meeting, our working group is scheduled to meet: Wed Oct 4, 17:00-18:00, Grand Ballroom, Krasnapolsky Hotel, Amsterdam Please see below for the agenda. I believe that we might still have a little bit of time left so we can still consider some last minute contributions. I would also like to point you to various topics during the EOF sessions that are about ipv6 (IPv6 Routing Table, IPv6 in Real Life - Deployment of Popular Servers in IPv6, IPv6 Routing Tutorial, DHCPv6), or that will cover ipv6 in addition to ipv4 (What is Wrong With the DNS?, UMTS/GPRS Systems). Thanks and see you in Amsterdam! David Kessens --- Agenda for the IPv6 Working Group Meeting RIPE53 When: Wed Oct 4, 17:00-18:00 Where: Grand Ballroom, Krasnapolsky Hotel, Amsterdam A.

Multihoming in IPv6 using PA space
by Iljitsch van Beijnum 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

[Going out to routing-wg and ipv6-wg, trim as needed in follow-ups] Before the last IETF meeting there was some discussion about the difficulties in multihoming using a prefix out of PA space from an ISP in IPv6. Because many ISPs filter at /32 or /35 in IPv6, the /48s (or /56s) used for multihoming are often filtered out. After some discussion with people from the IETF v6ops wg, I've written the draft mentioned below, outlining the problem and proposing a BGP community to tag the prefixes used for this so they can be un-filtered as needed. Feedback from people involved with and/or an interest in IPv6 routing is highly appreciated. I'd be happy to discuss the draft in either the routing or IPv6 wgs, or talk about it briefly at the end of my IPv6 routing tutorial on wednesday morning. And of course one-on-one in the hallway. The -01 with only minor changes should be up soon, or you can find it at http://www.muada.com/drafts/draft-van-beijnum-v6ops-pa-mhome- community-01.txt Begin forwarded message: > A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts > directories. > Title : BGP Community for PA Multihoming > Author(s) : I. van Beijnum > Filename : draft-van-beijnum-v6ops-pa-mhome-community-00.txt > Pages : 8 > Date : 2006-9-11 > When an organization wants to connect to the internet using two or > more > Internet Service Providers (multihoming), this is usually done by > setting up BGP routing between the organization in question and > each of > its ISPs.

Call for agenda topics & draft agenda (v1) for ipv6 wg RIPE53
by David Kessens 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

During next RIPE meeting, our working group is scheduled to meet: Wed Oct 4, 17:00-18:00, Grand Ballroom, Krasnapolsky Hotel, Amsterdam I have prepared a draft agenda with all our standard items. However, the meeting will only be a success if we get a lot of active participation from all participants. In fact there is little reason to have a working group meeting scheduled if we don't get other topics than the standard topics. Is there anything that you have been thinking about regarding the deployment of ipv6 in the european region ? It doesn't matter whether it is a brief topic, whether you have slides or simply would like to ask me to find a speaker. Just send me a quick mail! One thing that I personally was thinking about is the expiration of the 6bone address space. Is there anybody who is willing to give us an overview on what happened, and whether there were any positive or negative effects ? Or anybody knows what the vatican is planning to do with their address space ? Thanks!

IPv6 Benchmarking - Sept'2006
by Carlos Friacas 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hello, You can fill in (yet another) survey about IPv6 at: http://surveys.ipv6.eu This survey is part of the European IPv6 Task-Force Steering Commitee's Benchmarking Activity, in the scope of project IST-2-004572-CA, partly funded by the EC. Your cooperation is needed and very welcome! Please also help this message reach the mailboxes of people on your communities, even to those folks which are still far from using IPv6, but who can spare 10 mins to fill this form. This survey is focused on metrics we cannot have input without direct intervention from humans. The outcome of it, plus the data we periodically collect automatically (from several sources) will be worked/aggregated and published on http://www.ipv6.eu Stay tuned! ps: sorry for any duplicate messages.

2001:7f9::/32 still being announced even though the 'experiment' has finished 2 days ago?
by Jeroen Massar 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi, inet6num: 2001:07F9::/32 org: ORG-CA59-RIPE netname: CONSULINTEL-20040713 descr: Experimental Prefix ======================== Duration of assignment: ======================== Start date: 2004-07-19 End date: 2006-07-19 ======================== Details of Experiment: http://www.consulintel.euro6ix.org ======================== But according to: http://noc.sixxs.net/tools/grh/lg/?find=2001:7f9::/32 it is still being announced. Also the mentioned URL doesn't contain any 'details of experiment' at all. What is up with this? Has this become free IPv6 space? GRH automarked it as reclaimed due to the expiry date btw. Greets, Jeroen

IPv6 access to ftp.ripe.net
by James Aldridge 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, IPv6 access to ftp.ripe.net is currently not possible. IPv4 access is unaffected. The current ScreenOS firewall software is unable to support extended passive-mode FTP. We have therefore temporarily removed the AAAA record for ftp.ripe.net from the DNS. We hope to restore IPv6 access as quickly as possible and will inform you when this occurs. We apologise for any inconvenience. Regards, James Aldridge Systems & Network Engineer RIPE NCC Operations Group

6to4 address utilisation
by Thu Thuy 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

Hi, I have a question about 6to4 address utilisation. May i post it here ? Thanks everyone for your guidance. 6to4 is a tunnel method. From an IPv4 address, we have /48 6to4 IPv6 space. So i'm wonder if this /48 range can be commonly used for our IPv6 network (workstations, servers) like native IPv6, or it just be used only for tunnel, to connect native IPv6 lands. Thank you once more, Thu Thuy Development & Research Department. Vietnam Internet Network Information Center - VNNIC.
