Dear colleagues, I am very happy to invite you to the APNIC's first Hackathon, to be held from 23 to 25 February 2018 in Kathmandu, Nepal. What are Hackathons? -------------------- Hackathons (hacking marathons) are events where a group of people work together on a pre-defined set of problems, intensively, for a period of a few days. At the first APNIC Hackathon, participants will identify and help resolve IPv6-related challenges of their choice. Attendance is free but will be limited to 25 participants. Who should apply ---------------- - Informatics professionals (developers, testers, designers and so forth) - Telecommunications professionals (network/telecom engineers, network administrators/operators and so forth) - Researchers working on Internet measurements, networking, or similar projects - Advanced students of technology degrees For more information, application form, and key dates, visit the APRICOT 2018 website: https://2018.apricot.net/program/hackathon Participants will also receive an APNIC Hackathon t-shirt, a certificate of participation, and a chance to win assorted prizes.

by Vesna Manojlovic 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

Dear IPv6-wg, the topic of sixth RIPE NCC hackathon was, appropriately, IPv6 :) The highlights of the event: * 32 people from 18 countries participated * 6 projects were finalized * most future impact: ICMPv6 support for libpcap * most educational: Pocket Internet (lab of VM pods) * mostly covered topic: visualizing IPv6 deployment * most data used: RIPE Atlas traceroutes Please read the full report, with all the links, here: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/results-hackathon-version-6 If you use one of the projects for your work, implement it or make further modifications, I would love to hear about it! Regards, Vesna

New on RIPE Labs: IPv6 Week Denmark
by Mirjam Kuehne 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Dear colleagues, An IPv6 week is an opportunity to raise awareness and stimulate IPv6 deployment on a national level. It brings a wide variety of stakeholders, knowledge and experience to a country where deployment of IPv6 is low. One of the key factors affecting the success of a national IPv6 week is support from the local community. In Copenhagen, we were very happy to have assistance from DKNOG in preparing and delivering this event. You can now find a report on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/nathalie_nathalie/ipv6-week-denmark Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: IPv6-only? IPv4-as-a-service?
by Mirjam Kuehne 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

Dear colleagues, Please find this new article by Jordi Palet on RIPE Labs: IPv6-only? IPv4-as-a-service? We are starting to hear “IPv6-only” more often. However, it doesn't seem to be clear what exactly this means. Read Jordi's explanation: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/jordipaletm/ipv6-only-ipv4-as-a-service Kind regards, Mirjam Kuhne RIPE NCC

Looking for a secon opinion on using ULA along with GUA for residential access
by Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hello, During the evaluation of a new model of CPE for our residential access we found one of the suppliers providing an option to announce a ULA prefix in addition to the GUA prefix obtained from DHCP-PD. I would like some second opinions regarding auch a practice. >From my point of view, if ULA is enabled: - it allows the client's LAN to stay IPv6-enabled even when the internet connection is down. It is a simpler version compared to the use of link-locals. - if the "auto" version of the setting is used, the ULA prefix will risk changing when changing the CPE, which is less than optimal. If ULA is disabled: - business as usual; when internet is down the client will only have RFC1918 (v4) + link-local (v6) So, is it worth enabling an additional ULA on the LAN ? -- Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN

Happy Eyeballs reporting
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Hi all, After my presentation this week on Dubai about this topic, I got several folks telling me that they believe this is very interesting. Here is again the link to the document: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-palet-ietf-v6ops-he-reporting-00 And to the slides from this week: https://ripe75.ripe.net/presentations/129-ipv6-hev2-v2.pdf The major concern is privacy issues. My response to that is that we have the same when we log other protocols, including CGN, etc., in addition to that, for signaling the ISP that there is a problem, we don’t really need to log the complete source IPv6 address that doesn’t work, just the prefix, and also, we have a simpler alternative. If the logging is only for the destination IPv6 address and not the source one, I think in a big % of the cases, is sufficient for the ISP to know that there is some problem from its network to the failed destination (so the ISP could replicate the failure from any other source address in its network to the same destination). This logic, I believe, will only fail if the problem is specific to the “interior” of the customer network, which will be out of the scope of the ISP (and even do, the ISP will be able to tell the user --- hey this destination works from my network, not from yours, so something got broken inside your network). I’m going to submit a new version of this document on Sunday, so if you have inputs, please, let me know ASAP. Thanks in advance for your inputs !

RIPE75 - IPv6 fragmentation tool - Grafical solution - Opensource
by Stefan Jakob 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hi IPv6 Folks, Two colleagues of mine (Lorenz Schäfer under guidance of Jürgen Geinitz) created a grafical open source tool (python tk) to play around with your IPv6 space. The tool is inspired by Painting by Numbers presented at RIPE68 by Helge Holz. [1] --- README.md snip --- Description: This tool should make assigning of IPv6-address-blocks more manageable and easier to comprehend by showing the availible address space in an 8-bit matrix. In the left frame you can create radiobuttons, assigning them a name, colour and finally a certain address-space, which will be colored in the matrix and displayed in a label accordingly. --- README.md snap --- Since I am attending RIPE75 and some people didn't know about the tool, you chance to get a live demo today (maybe after the IPv6 WG) # long URL https://github.com/lorenz-schaefer/IPv6-address-space-fragmentation-tool # short URL https://goo.gl/KmyBLZ Rgds, SJ [1] https://ripe68.ripe.net/presentations/344-Painting_by_Numbers.pdf Beste Grüße, Stefan Jakob -- DENIC eG, Kaiserstraße 75 - 77, 60329 Frankfurt am Main, GERMANY E-Mail: jakob(a)denic.de, Fon: +49 69 27235-142, Fax: -235 https://www.denic.de Angaben nach § 25a Absatz 1 GenG: DENIC eG (Sitz: Frankfurt am Main) Vorstand: Helga Krüger, Martin Küchenthal, Andreas Musielak, Dr. Jörg Schweiger Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Thomas Keller Eingetragen unter Nr. 770 im Genossenschaftsregister, Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main

Captive portal over IPv6
by Shahin Gharghi 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Dear all, I have a public WiFi service which connects people to internet via hotspot (captive portal). I want to assign IPv6 addresses to users in dual-stack, but my captive portal doesn't support. Do you know any captive portal that supports IPv6? Both hardware and software models works for me. Thank you -- Shahin Gharghi
