2012 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey - Open Now Until 30 June
by Axel Pawlik 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The Number Resource Organization (NRO), on behalf of all the Regional Internet Registries, invites you to participate in the 3rd consecutive Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey on the current and future use of IPv6. The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure that the Internet community is ready and moving toward widespread adoption of IPv6. As it is mostly the same as the survey carried out globally in 2010 and 2011, comparison of progress will be possible. The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of our community to participate: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2012 The survey will be open for a month and will close on 30 June 2012. We anticipate a good response rate as 94% of last year's over 1600 respondents from around the globe indicated that they were interested in participating again. We encourage all organisations to participate in order for the results to establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey is composed of 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. For those interested, the results of last year's survey are available: http://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/ipv6_deployment_survey.pdf. Results of this year's survey will be presented and discussed widely. Please provide your name and contact information on the survey form if you wish to receive the draft survey analysis when available. Please also indicate whether you are willing to share additional data with the TNO and GNKS Consult IPv6 Deployment Monitoring team. We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to info(a)gnksconsult.com. Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

IPv6 security: New IETF I-Ds, slideware and videos of recent presentations, trainings, etc...
by Fernando Gont 29 May '12

29 May '12

Folks, * We've published a new IETF I-D entitled "DHCPv6-Shield: Protecting Against Rogue DHCPv6 Servers", which is meant to provide RA-Guard-like protection against rogue DHCPv6 servers. The I-D is available at: <http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-opsec-dhcpv6-shield-00.txt> Other IPv6 security I-Ds (such as, draft-ietf-v6ops-ra-guard-implementation) have been revised. Please check them out at: <http://www.si6networks.com/publications/ietf.html> * The slideware (and some videos!) of some of our recent presentations about IPv6 security are now available online. You can find them at: <http://www.si6networks.com/presentations/index.html> * We have also scheduled IPv6 hacking trainings in Paris (France) and Ghent (Belgium). You can find more details at: <http://www.si6networks.com/index.html#conferences> Our Twitter: @SI6Networks Thanks, - -- Fernando Gont SI6 Networks e-mail: fgont(a)si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 6666 31C6 D484 63B2 8FB1 E3C4 AE25 0D55 1D4E 7492

6to4 and teredo pingables?
by Aleksi Suhonen 13 May '12

13 May '12

Hi, We run 6to4 and Teredo relay routers and in order to monitor the service our network monitoring system has been pinging a handful of 6to4 and Teredo addresses elsewhere. If more than one of those addresses fail to answer pings, an alarm is raised. Now I'm looking for a few more addresses I could ping, so I could raise the alert threshold a bit. Any volunteers? And in case anyone else wants to ping some of our hosts, here's a couple of candidates: (sorry, no Teredo hosts) ns.trex.fi. IN AAAA 2002:c38c:c38c:15::35 mail.trex.fi. IN AAAA 2002:c38c:c38c:14:203:baff:fe0f:d68b Yours sincerely, -- Aleksi Suhonen / TREX

New on RIPE Labs: Test your IPv6 Reachability by Using RIPE Atlas
by Mirjam Kuehne 09 May '12

09 May '12

[apologies for duplicate mails] Dear colleagues, You can now use RIPE Atlas to test your IPv6 reachability. This also works if you do not host a RIPE Atlas probe yourself. However, please note that this is only available to RIPE NCC members. Please find the details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/test-your-ipv6-reachability-using-ripe-… If you have any comments or questions, please let us know.

IETF I-D: Security Implications of IPv6 on IPv4 Networks
by Fernando Gont 02 May '12

02 May '12

Folks, A couple of weeks ago we published a new IETF I-D entitled "Security Implications of IPv6 on IPv4 networks". The I-D is available at: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-implications-on-ipv4-nets> The Abstract of the I-D is: ---- cut here ---- This document discusses the security implications of native IPv6 support and IPv6 transition/co-existence technologies on "IPv4-only" networks, and describes possible mitigations for the aforementioned issues. ---- cut here ---- We're currently working on a revision of the document, so any comments will be really appreciated. Thanks! Best regards, -- Fernando Gont SI6 Networks e-mail: fgont(a)si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 6666 31C6 D484 63B2 8FB1 E3C4 AE25 0D55 1D4E 7492

New on RIPE Labs: Update on IPv6 Address Distribution
by Mirjam Kuehne 02 May '12

02 May '12

Dear colleagues, At the recent RIPE Meeting we presented some IPv6 address distribution statistics. In this RIPE Labs article, you can find statistics on IPv6 allocations and assignments. In particular, the article details what affect the removal of the requirement to be multihomed had on the number of assignments and the relationship between the age of an LIR and the number of IPv6 addresses they have received. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/update-on-ipv6-address-distribution Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Last Call for publication of RIPE-501bis (reply by 20120426)
by David Kessens 02 May '12

02 May '12

In the IPv6 working session at the RIPE meeting in Slovenia, we discussed: http://go6.si/docs/Requirements-for-IPv6-in-ICT-equipment-v.9.pdf The meeting participants felt that the document is now ready for publication. Therefore, I would like to give everybody a final chance to bring up major issues that must be resolved before publication. Please comment by Thu 20120426 if you have major issues that require a delay in publication. We will ask the RIPE NCC to publish the document after the Last Call ends if no serious issues are uncovered by that date. The RIPE NCC will do an editorial pass for spelling, grammar and minor issues before it will publish the document. Feel free to contact the working group chairs directly <ipv6-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net> if you find anything minor that doesn't need working group review and we will make sure that it gets fixed in the final document. Thanks, David, Shane & Marco ---
