RE: [ipv6-wg] additional IPv6 allocation (ripe-512 issues)
by Ivan Pepelnjak 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Let me try to understand: (A) We don't disagree that he might actually deserve more than /32 (B) According to my understanding of previous discussions I had on this topic, RIPE might actually have already reserved extra space for his future needs (C) According to the current rules he can't get another /32 for a total of /31 without using most of the current /32 (and hoping his next /32 will be adjacent) (D) Someone is seriously suggesting he returns the current /32 and asks for a brand new /31 which he will likely get. Was someone reading too much Kafka or The Good Soldier Švejk lately?

additional IPv6 allocation (ripe-512 issues)
by Yannis Nikolopoulos 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

hello all, Lately we've been trying to lay out a future-proof IPv6 addressing plan (actually, to revise our initial IPv6 plan from a few years back) and we came to the conclusion that if we were to plan ahead for a few years, we would need an extra IPv6 allocation from RIPE, one more /32 (we already have one). Well, according to ripe-512 we're not eligible for a subsequent allocation yet, since we haven't met the subsequent allocation criteria (HD ratio). We'll be offering our commercial dual stack services (broadband, leased-lines VPNs) next year. This means that we'll have 1,2M potential subscribers (/56) just for the retail service. And then there's all the /48s for the VPNs and bigger customers. I'm not saying that all of our customers will migrate to IPv6 at once but we have to plan, don't we? And then there's the growth factor to be considered also... For us, this extra /32 will make the difference between an efficient and future-proof addressing plan that will last for many years and one that will have to be revised after 2-3 years (with all the readdressing etc). I thought that one of the key advantages with IPv6 was the fact that we would get rid of readdressing. What I'm trying to say is that ripe-512 is not flexible enough. In the end, should we planning ahead for many years (as per RFC6177) or not? any thoughts? cheers, Yannis

New version (or followup) of RIPE-501 document...
by Jan Zorz ＠ go6.si 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Dear RIPE IPv6 community. As promised, please find in attach new version (or followup) from RIPE-501 document. This document will get new version (if agreed in community) and will obsolete RIPE-501 as such. There is a promise, that RIPE-501 gets a link of new document, if/when that happens. What are major changes? We added CPE and mobile node requirements, we added some wording and explanations and we also took 2 options away, leaving with only 1 option. Main idea of new document is elaborated old option 3, in short: "Request IPv6 Ready Logo certificate, if equipment was not put under this testing require list of RFCs that needs to be supported. Note that IPv6 Ready Logo tests only basic requirements and if you have any special needs, request Logo and additional RFCs..." All is explained in a document. You'll see all possible colors in the docs. Black is what is left from original RIPE-501, different colors means different authors changes :) With this we hope to help you look at changes and spot them easily. There is .doc and .pdf versions attached. Authors would like to thnx all reviewers of this new document, we sent it firstly to all who contributed to previous version. You all know who you are :) Please, all comments and suggestions welcome and I expect vivid discussion here on the list. Goal is to try to reach a consensus for November RIPE meeting, if possible. Cheers from hard working ex-501 team - Merike, Sander and Jan

Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2011 Now Open
by Paul Rendek 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Dear Colleagues, The Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2011 is now online at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2011 This survey has been designed by GNKS Consult in collaboration with TNO and the RIPE NCC to further understand where the community stands on IPv6 and what needs be done to ensure that the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. Anyone can participate in this survey and we hope that the results will establish a comprehensive view of current IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey comprises 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments or who have not yet deployed IPv6, there will be fewer questions. The survey will close on 31 July 2011. We thank you for your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please email <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. For more information about the survey and links to previous year's survey results, please see: https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/industry-developments/globa… Regards, Paul Rendek RIPE NCC Head of External Relations and Communication

Rapid IPv6 deployment for World IPv6 Day
by Ahmed Abu-Abed 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hello, To setup a computer with IPv6 public address over any IPv4 connection (3G, ADSL, dial-up, etc. and even behind nested NATs) for World IPv6 Day testing then I suggest downloading the Freenet6 client and running it with default settings; it's the closest you can get to plug and play IPv6. Freenet6 have the TSP protocol IPv6 server in Amsterdam, so response times should be acceptable. Only the Windows XP/Vista/7 versions have an intuitive graphical interface, while OS X, BSD and Linux are command line only so far. Register and download the client from http://gogonet.gogo6.com/page/freenet6-ipv6-services Its working very well at my end today, with standard pings to Facebook, Bing, Yahoo and Google defaulting to IPv6 addresses and responses when connected to Freenet6. Regards, -Ahmed

IPv6 World Day prep behind a crappy hotel DNS resolver
by Shane Kerr 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hello, IPv6 World Day is tomorrow! I'm at the ENOG meeting in Moscow, which has a pretty common hotel Internet setup - a web redirect on first connect and then some magic somewhere records your information so you get out to the Internet more-or-less directly from then on. Someone at the meeting was kind enough to set up IPv6 service here. Yesterday it seemed a bit bumpy, but today it is working nicely. However, the network has a somewhat broken DNS resolver, which is also sadly pretty common at hotels. It seems to have problems answering normal IPv4 address queries (A records), but mostly works for that. It does not handle IPv6 address queries (AAAA records) at all. :( I tried running a resolver on my laptop, but the hotel network restricts DNS UDP packets to a maximum of 512 bytes. Even worse, it truncates larger answers to that size, and does not set the truncate bit. This confuses BIND mightily, as you would expect, since it is basically getting corrupted packets. Plus it blocks DNS TCP completely. Suffice it to say IPv4 is damaged here. A quick Google reveals that OpenDNS has IPv6 servers, which allows me to use the IPv6 transit, which is free of nonsensical tampering: http://warrenkwok.blogspot.com/2011/05/opendns-offers-ipv6-resolvers.html The IPv6 eyechart is now a sea of green! I'm ready for tomorrow. Are you? :) -- Shane

IPv6 on P2P links
by Jasper Jans 30 May '11

30 May '11

Can anyone give me some real world experience with IPv6 numbering on P2P links in their network? I've seen the recommendations swing from '/64' to '/127 if your equipment can handle it' and even to 'do not assign anything at all just use link-local' and access your devices over the loopback which your IGP will distribute. The last option seems interesting to me from a IP assignment point of few. It safes me having to allocate a block for this part of the infrastructure. I'm just wondering if in the long run it will not make life harder. Jasper Op dit e-mailbericht is een disclaimer van toepassing, welke te vinden is op http://www.espritxb.nl/disclaimer

RE: [ipv6-wg] IPv6 on P2P links
by Elad Hefetz 26 May '11

26 May '11

The major problem I can assume happen when using only link local is the issue of replacing hardware. When you replace the cards on the routers it will require you to change the internal routing protocol (IS-IS \ OSPF). Another issue is debugging - when using trace route - all you will see is link-local addresses which make it very difficult to debug issues. We are configuring all our P2P links with /64 prefix on each link. This is not idle and very wasteful way, but it's the only solution to not interfere with RFCs and standards. Also - this is the only way to be multi vendors prepared, be ready for future to come with new IPv6 applications and products.

IPv6 filtering in an ISP environment
by Erik Bais 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I'm looking for examples on what people have implemented as ingress filtering for IPv6 prefixes in an BGP environment. I'm would like to get some sort of filter that will not require daily maintenance based on assigned prefixes by the RIR. I'm leaning towards having some sort of filtering based on: Drop anything from bogon list allow RIR PA space - between /12 - /35 Allow RIR PI space between /32 - /48. (For instance for the RIPE 2001:67c::/32 & 2001:7f8::/32 parts ) So basically, a bit more strict filter than allow 2003::/3 and not having to update it daily with each assignment made J Also some insight in why you have selected to filter on a specific prefix length is very helpful.

Thought for World IPv6 Day
by Martin Millnert 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I'm thinking that in order for maximizing productive yield of World IPv6 Day as IPv6-believers would like, laying out the relevant steps to take for ISPs, content providers and individual users in a pedagogical manner could be cool (i.e highly useful). I'm imagining something similar to what Google did with http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html for Chrome. I have no idea who would be in charge to bring that about, or if it is at all possible to achieve in the few days left. I hope others are better suited to answer this. Cheers, Martin
