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continue, although after some two decades the intensity of the rhetoric has faded and, possibly surprisingly, it has been replaced by action in some notable parts of the Internet.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

by christian bretterhofer 03 Oct '16

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 ===================================

Dear colleagues, Building on last year's IGF Best Practice Forum (BPF) on creating an enabling environment for IPv6 <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/creating-an-e…>, we are now focusing this year's IPv6 BPF work on how to best encourage and support IPv6 adoption (for more information, see: Scope and Goals <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/798-scope-and…> ). The IPv6 BPF is a consensus-driven, bottom-up, and inclusive collaborative effort, one that brings together professional expertise from across stakeholder groups in order to generate a practical, constructive, and relevant outcome document. We are currently soliciting feedback and brainstorming ideas, especially related to economic elements of IPv6 adoption and business cases: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C7z8MRVBOmBsuWxpl8YivXZWFvksKCq0_ul7TlF… If you are not already involved, I encourage you to add suggestions to the document, share it among your networks, and contact Izumi Okutani, our MAG coordinator, or Wim Degezelle, the IPv6 BPF project manager, for more information or if you have any questions. Additionally, you can sign up for the mailing list at: http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_ipv6_intgovforum.org. Kind regards, -Michael __________________ Michael J.

Enterprise (Rabobank) on IPv6
by Sander Steffann 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Hi, For those of you who need some serious examples of enterprises doing IPv6 so you can convince other enterprises: today there is a new example to follow, rabobank.nl :-) Rabobank is one of the largest banks of the Netherlands (and according to i.e. http://www.accuity.com/useful-links/bank-rankings/ even in the top-50 of largest banks in the world). Banks are often known for being cautious and conservative, so a major bank deploying IPv6 on their main website might take away some reluctance at other enterprises. Cheers! Sander

measuring the effects of happy eyeballs
by Bajpai, Vaibhav 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Dear v6 WG, Measuring the Effects of Happy Eyeballs --------------------------------------- A paper on measuring the effects of happy eyeballs [RFC 6555] just got accepted last week. This uses a 3-years long ('13 - '16) dataset of TCP connect times towards ALEXA top 10K websites collected from 80 dual-stacked SamKnows probes. We just released [a] the paper. Thought to share it along: [a] http://goo.gl/JmKEax Feedback most welcome! You may recall preliminary versions of this work at RIPE 66 [b] and IETF 87 [c]. [b] https://ripe66.ripe.net/archives/video/1208 [c] https://vimeo.com/71407427 Abstract -------- The IETF has developed protocols that promote a healthy IPv4 and IPv6 co-existence. The Happy Eyeballs (HE) algorithm, for instance, prevents bad user experience in situations where IPv6 connectivity is broken. Using an active test (happy) that measures TCP connection establishment times, we evaluate the effects of the HE algorithm. The happy test measures against ALEXA top 10K websites from 80 SamKnows probes connected to dual-stacked networks representing 58 different ASes. Using a 3-years long (2013 - 2016) dataset, we show that TCP connect times to popular websites over IPv6 have considerably improved over time. As of May 2016, 18% of these websites are faster over IPv6 with 91% of the rest at most 1 ms slower. The historical trend shows that only around 1% of the TCP connect times over IPv6 were ever above the HE timer value (300 ms), which leaves around 2% chance for IPv4 to win a HE race towards these websites. As such, 99% of these websites prefer IPv6 connections more than 98% of the time. We show that although absolute TCP connect times (in ms) are not that far apart in both address families, HE with a 300 ms timer value tends to prefer slower IPv6 connections in around 90% of the cases. We show that lowering the HE timer value to 150 ms gives us a margin benefit of 10% while retaining same preference levels over IPv6.

Hi, Looking at the BGP table I see stuff like this, not even /64: 2001:218:2000:5000::3a0/126 *[BGP/170] 2d 08:02:02, localpref 180 AS path: 12714 31133 3491 10026 I, validation-state: unverified > to 2a00:d18:fe03:fefe:a76d::1 via ae2.3386 As we can see this wasn't rejected by 3 AS-es. AFAIK, the minimum allocated space from RIRs is /48. Should we filter prefixes longer than this? -- Kind regards, CTO at *Foton Telecom CJSC (ru.fotontelecom)* Tel.: +7 (499) 679-99-99 AS42861 on PeeringDB <http://as42861.peeringdb.com/>, Qrator <https://radar.qrator.net/as42861>, BGP.HE.NET <http://bgp.he.net/AS42861> http://ipv6actnow.org/

Thanks, Colin. On my side, I'm not immediately keen to fill FIB slots with >/24 or >/48. But I'll keep an eye on what the rest of the community does and adjust accordingly if it makes sense. Mark.

RIPE Policy vs IETF RFC
by Nathalie Trenaman 14 Jun '16

Dear colleagues, As you might know, the current IPv6 policy states very clear that assignments to customers must be a minimum of a /64. 5.4.1. Assignment address space size End Users are assigned an End Site assignment from their LIR or ISP. The size of the assignment is a local decision for the LIR or ISP to make, using a minimum value of a /64 (only one subnet is anticipated for the End Site). https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-655 On the other hand, a while ago, RFC7608 (BCP198) was published, stating: 2. Recommendation IPv6 implementations MUST conform to the rules specified in Section 5.1 of [RFC4632]. Decision-making processes for forwarding MUST NOT restrict the length of IPv6 prefixes by design. In particular, forwarding processes MUST be designed to process prefixes of any length up to /128, by increments of 1. In practice, this means that the RFC suggests that a customer can get an IPv6 assignment of any size, while the RIPE policy says the minimum should be a /64. I’m interested to know what the community thinks about this and if alignment between this RFC and the RIPE policy is needed. Nathalie Künneke-Trenaman IPv6 Program Manager RIPE NCC

v4 versus v6 -- who connects faster?
by Vaibhav Bajpai 23 May '16

Dear v6 WG, Here [a] is a toy v6 service I came up with during the RIPE Atlas hackathon over this weekend. Thought I share this along: [a] http://goo.gl/hbzbwD <http://goo.gl/hbzbwD> You enter a dual-stacked website (ALEXA top 10K) and it shows you the difference in TCP connect times over v4 and v6 as seen by all dual-stacked RIPE Atlas probes (~1.3K probes). You can also filter the visualisation from a specific origin-AS. This additional filter can be useful to view performance towards a website from a specific origin-AS (say DTAG). Disclaimer: This is an outcome of a 1.5d long hackathon project. As such, the codebase is possibly inundated with bugs. Please don’t see it as a production service :-) Best, Vaibhav =================================== Vaibhav Bajpai www.vaibhavbajpai.com <http://www.vaibhavbajpai.com/> Room 91, Research I School of Engineering and Sciences Jacobs University Bremen, Germany ===================================
