25 Jan '17

Dear colleagues, The 2016 Internet Governance Forum (IGF) intersessional work has been published, including the Best Practice Forum (BPF) outcome documents for the IXP and IPv6 BPFs. Best, -Michael __________________ Michael J. Oghia iGmena <http://igmena.org/> communications manager Independent #netgov consultant & editor Belgrade, Serbia Skype: mikeoghia Twitter <https://www.twitter.com/MikeOghia> *|* LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeoghia> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Clarke GUTTERMAN <BGUTTERMAN(a)unog.ch> Date: Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 12:38 PM Subject: [Igfregionals] Published & for distribution: New IGF resources now available To: Anri van der Spuy <anri(a)avds.consulting>, Wim Degezelle < wdegezelle(a)drmv.be> Cc: bp_gender(a)intgovforum.org, igfregionals(a)intgovforum.org, bp_ipv6(a)intgovforum.org, outreach_com_2015(a)intgovforum.org, intersessional_2015(a)intgovforum.org, dc(a)intgovforum.org, bp_ixps(a)intgovforum.org, "bp_cybersec_2016(a)intgovforum.org" < bp_cybersec_2016(a)intgovforum.org> Dear Internet Governance Stakeholders, - We are glad to let you know that the IGF has just published all of the tangible outcomes from its intersessional activities conducted in 2016. These outputs include: - BPF Gender: Outcome resource 2016 <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3406…> (access and gender) & recommendations roadmap <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3406…> (online abuse and gender-based violence); - BPF on Internet exchange points (IXPs) <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-ixps>; - BPF on commercial and economic incentives to deploy IPv6 <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-ipv6>; - BPF Cybersecurity <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-cybersecurity> (‘Building Confidence and Security in the use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) through Enhanced Cooperation and Collaboration’); and - Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3416…> (Phase II). These resources are the outputs from bottom-up, inclusive, and community-driven activities of the IGF that took place over the course of 2016 (for more information about these initiatives, please see the Notes at the end of this email). The IGF, along with the facilitators and rapporteurs for all of the respective intersessional activities, are grateful for the invaluable support given and time invested in these activities by numerous stakeholders and volunteers. We would also like to recognise the leadership and dedication of the coordinators, facilitators, and lead experts who supported the IGF’s intersessional work over the past year, including Aaron Hughes, Anri van der Spuy, Brian Gutterman, Constance Bommelaer, Douglas Onyango, Izumi Okutani, Jac SM Kee, Maarten Van Horenbeeck, Marco Hogewoning, Markus Kummer, Salanienta Tamanikaiwaimaro, Sumon A. Sabir, Renata Aquino Ribeiro, Segun Olugbile, and Wim Degezelle, among many others. What can you do with the IGF’s intersessional resources? We encourage all stakeholders to share these resources with their respective communities to ensure that the IGF resource outputs also become useful inputs into other processes of relevance to the Internet and its governance in 2017 and beyond. We hope these resources will not only be useful for policymakers and other stakeholders, but will also continue to symbolise the IGF community’s belief that multistakeholder collaboration is fundamental in effectively addressing pertinent Internet policy challenges. What’s next for the IGF’s intersessional activities? All outputs from the IGF’s intersessional activities are intended to be living documents that can be updated at any time. At the first Open Consultations and IGF multistakeholder advisory group (MAG) meeting in March 2017, stakeholders will discuss potential themes for the next cohort of intersessional activities, including what will happen with the 2016 BPFs and their outputs. The IGF Secretariat invites stakeholders to submit written contributions to the current public consultation <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-community-public-consu…> stock-taking exercise. In these contributions, stakeholders are also welcome to send recommendations and proposed themes for intersessional activities in 2017. Written inputs should be sent to takingstock(a)intgovforum.org by Friday 27 January. Kind regards, IGF Secretariat NOTES About the IGF The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) serves to bring people together from various stakeholder groups as equals in discussions on public policy issues relating to the Internet. While the IGF has no negotiated outcomes, it serves the important function of informing and inspiring those with policymaking power in both public and private sectors. The IGF facilitates a common understanding of how to maximise Internet opportunities and address risks and challenges that arise. One of the ways in which it does so is through its intersessional activities, which are conducted following recommendations <http://unctad.org/meetings/en/SessionalDocuments/a67d65_en.pdf> from the UN CSTD Working Group on Improvements to the IGF and form part of a broader effort by the IGF community to produce more tangible outputs to “enhance the impact of the IGF on global Internet governance and policy”. About the IGF’s intersessional activities The IGF Best Practice Forums (BPFs) <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/best-practice-forums-4> continue to offer unique platforms to investigate topical Internet policy challenges by collecting community input and experiences in a flexible and bottom-up manner. Through their substantive outreach efforts and continued calls for input and contributions, the BPFs have already enabled more diverse and varied participation in IGF processes, including from a richer variety of regions and stakeholder groups. By continuously involving new people in their work, the various BPFs also contributed to enlarging the global footprint of the IGF. BPFs worked throughout the year in an open and inclusive way via open mailing lists, regular virtual meetings, and BPF workshops during the 11th IGF meeting in Guadalajara, Mexico, from 6 to 9 December 2016. About the BPF Gender The BPF Gender’s second publication, entitled ‘Overcoming Barriers to Enable Women’s Meaningful Internet Access <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3406…>’, builds on its work in 2015, when it also published an extensive resource <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/623-bpf-onlin….> on online abuse and gender-based violence. In 2016, the BPF furthermore produced a user-friendly infographic roadmap <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3406…> for addressing online abuse and gender-based violence, based on the key recommendations for diverse stakeholder groups from its 2015 report. The BPF Gender is also partnering with ITU and UN Women’s EQUALS <http://equals.org> partnership, a global initiative aimed at addressing gender inequality, to raise awareness of its outputs. Further details of this collaboration will soon be announced. About the BPF Cybersecurity The 2016 IGF BPF on Cybersecurity <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-cybersecurity> built upon the previous work of the IGF CSIRTS and SPAM BPFs. Its work was also guided by the WSIS +10 review process which produced an outcome document <http://workspace.unpan.org/sites/Internet/Documents/UNPAN96078.pdf> with a strong focus on "building confidence and security in the use of information and communications technologies", making an IGF BPF related to cybersecurity even more relevant. The 2016 discussions and output report <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3405…> addressed cooperation and collaboration on cybersecurity issues between stakeholder groups as an overarching theme. About the BPF on Internet exchange points (IXPs) The BPF Contributing to the Success and Continued Development of Internet exchange points (IXPs) <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-ixps> collected best current practices that have proven to contribute to building strong and successful IXPs. Exchanging traffic at an IXP has a number of benefits that can contribute to a more affordable, stable, faster and more reliable Internet of a higher quality in a region. The success of an IXP will be measured by its ability to sustainably contribute to the development of its local Internet ecosystem. The BPF on IXPs focused on the management and operation of an IXP and identified factors that can contribute to success. About the BPF IPv6 IPv6 is the Internet’s addressing system that was developed to deal with IPv4 exhaustion and to make the Internet future-proof. The fast growing number of networks that already supports IPv6 today proofs that IPv6 is a technically feasible option for business. The BPF Understanding the commercial and economic incentives behind a successful IPv6 deployment <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-ipv6> collected case studies on commercial experiences with IPv6 deployment to better understand challenges and incentives, and provide an opportunity to learn from each other. About Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) - Phase II In 2016, the IGF furthered its seminal work on Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) by investigating challenges and opportunities for addressing and overcoming barriers to meaningful Internet access, promoting meaningful access in diverse contexts and regions, and ensuring that meaningful access also supports the achievement of the UN sustainable development goals.

Belgian limits on CGN/NAT?
by Marco Hogewoning 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

[apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, Unfortunately so far I have only found Dutch (and French) sources, we would be happy to receive pointers to English texts on this. The Belgian Institute for Post and Telecom (BIPT) recently ran a consultation to evaluate the National IPv6 Workplan, which was released back in 2012. The deadline to comment had already passed, but I trust our Belgian community members to have found this via other sources in time to respond. http://www.bipt.be/public/files/nl/22027/Raadpleging_ipv6.pdf In this, there is one question in particular that caught our eye, number 6, which roughly translates to a question asking if the requirements in a Code of Conduct on the usage of CGN which was agreed in 2012 are still current and workable and whether or not this CoC should be reviewed. Further in the introduction of the consultation, chapter 1 (page 3), there is some more information on this agreement: > Om de eindgebruiker toch eenduidig te kunnen identificeren was er beslist om bijvoorbeeld het delen van een IP-adres te beperken tot maximaal 16 gebruikers en dit via een gedragscode die door de sector werd ondertekend. Translation by me: > To identify users, it was agreed that sharing a single IP address would be limited to a maximum of 16 users and that this limit would be part of a code of conduct which would be signed by the industry” So far we have not yet been able to retrieve a copy of this Code of Conduct or a list of participating operators and would be happy to receive more information. But as the text suggests that there is an agreement between Belgian network operators and the government that would limit the use of CGN to 16 users per address. We wonder then, if this is the “magic ingredient” of why the IPv6 roll out in Belgium is so successful. As a question to this Working Group, would a 16:1 ratio be realistic and workable from an operational perspective? And further of course, do you think this form of cooperation between the public and private sector as a way to expedite the deployment of IPv6? Regards, Marco Hogewoning -- External Relations - RIPE NCC

CFP: (Deadline Ext.) - ICC'17 Workshop - 5th IEEE SCPA 2017 - May 21-25, 2017. Paris, France
by Sandra Sendra 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

Apologies for crossposting -------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS (DEADLINE EXTENDED) ----------------- 5th IEEE International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (SCPA 2017) May 21-25, 2017. Paris, France In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2017 http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/2017/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Selected papers will be invited to the Special Issue on Smart Protocols and Algorithms of the International Journal Network Protocols and Algorithms (ISSN: 1943-3581) or to the Special Issue on Recent Advances on Communications and Networking Technology Journal (ISSN: 2215-082X (Online); ISSN: 2215-0811 (Print)). Communication protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate network devices and exchange data between them. The appearance of new technologies usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that allows data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recent advances in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rules, conventions and data structures which could be used by network devices to communicate across the network. Moreover, devices with higher processing capacity let us include more complex algorithms that can be used by the network device to enhance the communication procedure. Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network devices to transfer data between them. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the pas! t and use this knowledge to improve future decisions. In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are included in the workshop. We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications. Topics of interest: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following topic areas: - Smart network protocols and algorithms for multimedia delivery - Application layer, transport layer and network layer cognitive protocols - Cognitive radio network protocols and algorithms - Automatic protocols and algorithms for environment prediction - Algorithms and protocols to predict data network states - Intelligent synchronization techniques for network protocols and algorithms - Smart protocols and algorithms for e-health - Software applications for smart algorithms design and development - Dynamic protocols based on the perception of their performance - Smart protocols and algorithms for Smartgrids - Protocols and algorithms focused on building conclusions for taking the appropriate actions - Smart Automatic and self-autonomous ad-hoc and sensor networks - Artificial intelligence applied in protocols and algorithms for wireless, mobile and dynamic networks - Smart security protocols and algorithms - Smart cryptographic algorithms for communication - Artificial intelligence applied to power efficiency and energy saving protocols and algorithms - Smart routing and switching protocols and algorithms - Cognitive protocol and algorithm models for saving communication costs - Any kind of intelligent technique applied to QoS, content delivery, network Monitoring and network management - Smart collaborative protocols and algorithms - Problem recognition and problem solving protocols - Genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic and neural networks applied to communication protocols and algorithms Important Dates: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission Deadline: 2nd December, 2016 (Extended deadline) Acceptance Notification: 17th February, 2016 Camera Ready Deadline: 10th March, 2016 Submission guidelines: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All submissions must be full papers in PDF format and uploaded on EDAS: (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=22957&track=82208) All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ General Chairs: Jaime Lloret Mauri, Universitat Politecnica Val�ncia, Spain Joel Rodrigues, National Institute of Telecommunications (Inatel), Brazil; Instituto de Telecomunica��es, Univ. of Beira Interior, Portugal TPC Chairs: Sandra Sendra, Universidad de Granada, Spain Kashif A.

Happy Eyeballs bias
by Sander Steffann 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Hi, Very good presentation on Happy Eyeballs at the WG session today. It might indeed be true that lowering the HE "head start" for IPv6 from 300ms to 150ms might cause a slight increase in performance. However, as Geoff Huston pointed out, HE is not about getting the best performance, it's meant to move traffic to IPv6 (so IPv4 traffic will go down, and we can know when we can turn off IPv4) without breaking the user experience when IPv6 is broken. It was (and still is) an important argument for website owners to be comfortable enough to actually deploy IPv6 and not be too worried about client experience breaking. But it is also hiding IPv6 brokenness, removing an incentive for website owners to actually fixing IPv6 errors and causing IPv6 to be taken less seriously... So, how about we go the other way. We want IPv6 to be taken more seriously. What about if we change the algorithm the other way over time: give IPv6 more and more of a head start. That way IPv6 stability and performance become more important over time, without causing brokenness. Something like: HE head start = 300 + (months after 2017-01-01) * 30 That would provide some incentive to make sure that IPv6 is properly deployed and managed. Cheers, Sander

Chair selection: call for candidates
by Anna Wilson 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Hello all, The working group selected Jen, Benedikt and myself as co-chairs at RIPE69 in November 2014. At RIPE70, we adopted this procedure for replacing chairs: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ipv6-wg/2015-May/002615.html This provides for a three year term. Since all three of us were selected at the same meeting, our terms would expire simultaneously in late 2017. To encourage continuity, I plan to step down next month at RIPE73. We therefore call for candidates for the post of IPv6 working group chair. If you would like to stand for selection, please announce so to the mailing list. The closing date for candidates is 23:59 UTC on Friday 21st October 2016. (The Friday before the RIPE73 meeting.) As per the procedure, the selection itself will take place during the working group session at RIPE73.

FYI Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wim Degezelle <wdegezelle(a)drmv.be> Date: Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 4:01 PM Subject: [Bp_ixps] IXPs & IPv6 To: bp_ixps(a)intgovforum.org Cc: Izumi Okutani <izumi(a)nic.ad.jp> Hi All, The Best Practice Forum on IPv6 is looking at the IPv6 deployment by companies and organisations, and wants to include a paragraph on IXPs. This should be a general statement on the IPv6 readiness of IXPs in the world, and briefly discuss motivation and challenges. I found a Euro-IX statement <http://www.netnod.se/sites/default/files/Euro-IX_IPv6_press.pdf> from June 2011 that announced that all Euro-IX members are IPv6 ready and enabled. Does anyone knows of recent updates or statements on the IPv6-readines of IXPs? FYI the BPF IPv6 draft is available on google docs ( link <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z60lBcIk7U3LAFEK9V7dIQ11OWFx71zqmMAcs9u…> ).

New on RIPE Labs: IPv6 and DNS (by Geoff Huston)
by Mirjam Kuehne 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, Please find this new post by Geoff Huston on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/ipv6-and-the-dns "The exhortations about the Internet’s prolonged transition to version 6 of the Internet Protocol continue, although after some two decades the intensity of the rhetoric has faded and, possibly surprisingly, it has been replaced by action in some notable parts of the Internet. But how do we know there is action? How can we tell whether, and where, IPv6 is being deployed in today’s Internet?" Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Supporting IPv6 Deployment Through Policy
by Marco Schmidt 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, It was about a year ago that the RIPE community reached consensus on a policy proposal that introduced additional criteria for initial IPv6 allocations. We thought it was time to look back the origins of this proposal and see how the change has worked out since: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_schmidt/supporting-ipv6-deployment-thro… Regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

1. Re: RIPE72 IPv6 WG: call for presentations (Benedikt Stockebrand) Hello to all I think the basic work for ISPs in concern to IPv6 is covered. But i miss the topics to be addressed if you want to migrate from a IPv4 Microsoft Active domain using company to an system where most server in an enterprise could by just IPv6 only and use technologies like NAT46 ( SIIT-DC ) or similar to still make IPv4 only windows clients happy. Switching an enterprise with location around the global from a "we donot route any IPv6 traffic across our WAN Links" "most servers have IPv6 disabled" to We start IPv6 routing partially and enable partial IPv6 support on servers in a Microsoft ADS environment seems not covered in most IPv6 covering websites and presentations. Maintaining dual stack for the datacenters is just painfull and there should be a "single" device in the form of NAT46/SIIT/SIIT-DC in front of each server area. I am not sure that Active directory is ready for that. We are currently moving a complete test ads domain into a Testlab with locations in AT/CN/FI/US into dualstack and here we accept a "not working" during migration and i also hope we can move some servers into a IPv6 only area of those networks. But for a production move we need to be shure that a partial enabling of Dualstack and IPv6 only networking for servers does not break things. Any ideas or links which could help us here? best regards Christian Bretterhofer https://andritz.me ( one Testlab DMZ)

measuring web similarity from dual-stacked hosts
by Bajpai, Vaibhav 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Dear v6 WG, Measuring Web Similarity from Dual-stacked Hosts ------------------------------------------------ How similar are the webpages accessed over IPv6 to their IPv4 counterparts? – In situations where the content is dissimilar over IPv4 and IPv6, what factors contribute to the dissimilarity? To answer ^ we developed a tool (simweb) and deployed it on 80 geographically distributed dual-stacked SamKnows probes. A paper presenting results from the collected dataset got accepted recently. We just released the tool and the paper [a]. Thought to share it along. [a] http://goo.gl/sAsDcG Feedback most welcome! You may recall a presentation of this work at RIPE 72 [b]. [b] https://ripe72.ripe.net/archives/video/126 Abstract -------- We compare the similarity of webpages delivered over IPv4 and IPv6. Using the SamKnows web performance (webget) test, we implemented an extension (simweb) that allows us to measure the similarity of webpages. The simweb test measures against ALEXA top 100 dual-stacked websites from 80 SamKnows probes connected to dual-stacked networks representing 58 different ASes. Using a two months-long dataset we show that 14% of these dual-stacked websites exhibit a dissimilarity in the number of fetched webpage elements, with 94% of them exhibiting a dissimilarity in their size. We show that 6% of these websites announce AAAA entries in the DNS but no content is delivered over IPv6 when an HTTP request is made. We also noticed several cases where not all webpage elements (such as images, javascript and CSS) of a dual-stacked website are available over IPv6. We show that 27% of the dual-stacked websites have some fraction of webpage elements that fail over IPv6, with 9% of the websites having more than 50% webpage elements that fail over IPv6. We perform a causality analysis and also identify sources for these failing elements. We show that 12% of these websites have more than 50% webpage elements that belong to the same origin source and fail over IPv6. Failure rates are largely affected by DNS resolution error on images, javascript and CSS content delivered from both same-origin and cross-origin sources. These failures tend to cripple experience for users behind an IPv6-only network and a quantification of failure cases may help improve IPv6 adoption on the Internet. -- Vaibhav =================================== Vaibhav Bajpai www.vaibhavbajpai.com Postdoctoral Researcher Jacobs University Bremen, Germany ===================================
