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.

New ROUTE-SET and RIPE document: Address Space Managed by the RIPE NCC
by leo vegoda 31 May '06

31 May '06

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, We have updated the RIPE document "Address Space Managed by the RIPE NCC" to include references to a ROUTE-SET object describing the address space allocated to the RIPE NCC by the IANA. The new version is ripe-380 and can be found on our web site at: https://www.ripe.net/docs/ripe-ncc-managed-address-space.html We hope the ROUTE-SET object is useful. Kind regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

Dear All, please find below the inventation to the Converence "Convergence: New Opportunities for Accelerating the IPv6 Momentum" on 1-2 June, 2006 in Vienna, Austria > The Event is organised by the European Commission and is sponsored and hosted > by Telekom Austria under the auspices of the Austrian Presidency and with the > support of the European IPv6 Task Force. Aganda and registration is on the conference webpage regards Martin Vyskocil ---------------------------- Martin VYSKOCIL Telekom Austria AG PTM/DW/TRADAT VM404-RIPE Von: Susannah.SOCHALL(a)ext.cec.eu.int Gesendet: Dienstag, 02. Mai 2006 11:16 An: INFSO-RI-IPV6PRESIDENCYCONFERENCE(a)cec.eu.int Cc: Jean-Luc.DOREL(a)cec.eu.int Betreff: Personal invitation to attend the Conference: "Convergence: New Opportunities for Accelerating the IPv6 Momentum" Dear Colleague I am writing to you to invite you to attend a Conference on 1-2 June, 2006 in Vienna, Austria - entitled "Convergence: New Opportunities for Accelerating the IPv6 Momentum". The Event is organised by the European Commission and is sponsored and hosted by Telekom Austria under the auspices of the Austrian Presidency and with the support of the European IPv6 Task Force. After years of investment in the technology of IPv6 it is time to consider business aspects of its deployment. One of the highlights of the event will be the presentation of concrete IPv6 applications in various sectors, such as Automotive, Aeronautics, Defence, Research Networks, Media, and Consumer. At a time where Convergence is occurring both in the fix-mobile domain and in the Voice/Data/Video domain, this event will be the place where experts from industry will comment on the impact of this movement on IPv6 deployments. This conference will also be an occasion to learn about successful experiences in IPv6 convergence in China, Japan, South Africa, South Korea and the US. The event will be honoured by two keynote speakers: Brian Carpenter, Chairman of the IETF and Hiroshi Esaki, a pionneer of the Internet in Japan. A Gala dinner will take place at the prestigious Hofburg Palace on Thursday, June 1. We would very much welcome your participation and your contribution to the discussions during the event. Attendance to this event as well as to the Gala dinner is by invitation only. Please consider this as an official invitation from the IPv6 Convergence Organisation Committee. The Event has a limited number of seats, therefore the Organisation Committee kindly asks you to confirm you participation via the web site: http://www.ipv6-convergence-vienna.net/ Also, due to the high tourist season, it is important that you book your hotel in advance. A hotel list is available on the web, you are kindly invited to register by yourself. For further information, please contact me. Yours sincerely, Jean-Luc Dorel On behalf of the IPv6 Convergence Event Organisation Committee

Call for agenda topics & draft agenda (v1) for ipv6 wg RIPE52
by David Kessens 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

During next RIPE meeting, our working group is scheduled to meet: Thu Apr 27, 17:00-18:00, room Dolmabahce 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 our participants. To achieve this goal, I would like to invite everybody to bring up their own topics on the list, or directly to me. Topics should be relevant to the operational issues regarding ipv6 deployment. Note that we don't require you to bring powerpoint slides or whatever, neither does a topic need to be of a particular predefined length. We are more interested in the content of the topic! Obviously, you are also very welcome to volunteer somebody else than yourself to give a presentation and to lead a discussion on a topic that is of interest for our working group. Thanks! David Kessens --- Draft Agenda (v1) for the IPv6 Working Group Meeting RIPE52 When: Thu Apr 27 2006, 17:00-18:00 Where: Room Dolmabahce, Ceylan Intercontinental Hotel, Istanbul Turkey A.

Re: [ppml] PI addressing in IPv6 advances in ARIN

Hi all, My first idea was submitting a PI IPv6 policy proposal next Monday to RIPE and the rest of the regions, trying to get a consensus for a "global" policy on this, but as this thread is being followed up in several mail exploders, to avoid a long cross-posting, I think it will be better to start some discussion already in a mailing list which is global, and actually I think we have the right one ... global-v6(a)lists.apnic.net So, if you aren't subscribed in the global-v6(a)lists.apnic.net, and you're interested in this thread, please subscribe at http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/global-v6 If you're late because the Eastern, the archives are also available at http://www.apnic.net/mailing-lists/global-v6/ Regards, Jordi > De: JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <jordi.palet(a)consulintel.es> > Responder a: <jordi.palet(a)consulintel.es> > Fecha: Fri, 14 Apr 2006 13:39:07 +0200 > Para: "v6ops(a)ops.ietf.org" <v6ops(a)ops.ietf.org>, "ppml(a)arin.net" > <ppml(a)arin.net>, "shim6(a)psg.com" <shim6(a)psg.com> > Conversación: [ppml] PI addressing in IPv6 advances in ARIN > Asunto: Re: [ppml] PI addressing in IPv6 advances in ARIN > > Hi Owen, > > You said it: If somebody find the good solution, it will be attractive to > the people to go for it.
