by Raymond Jetten 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

Dear list Members, During RIPE 87 Benedikt Stockebrand has stepped down as IPv6 WG Co-Chair. Again Benedikt, on behalf of Jen and me thanks for the many years of having you. Jen and I decided to give Benedikt a small present after stepping down. A bottle of quality Italian wine, a wine bottle opener, a glass to drink from, and bag of popcorn. We had 2 candidates to fill Benedikt's place. Christian Seitz, and Paolo Volpato. We used Meetecho's poll as a platform where participants on site and remote could show their preference. The result was that Christian is now our new co-chair, Welcome Christian. We hope to see you all again in Krakow Poland next may. On behalf of Jen and Christian, Raymond Jetten RIPE IPv6 Working Group co-Chair To the co Chairs: ipv6-wg-chair(a)ripe.net<mailto:ipv6-wg-chair@ripe.net> To the mailing list: ipv6-wg(a)ripe.net<mailto:ipv6-wg@ripe.net> For Internal Use Only

Dear IPv6-wg list members and RIPE community. In the upcoming RIPE meeting (RIPE87) we will select a new co-chair, who will fill the gap, since Benedikt Stockebrand has decided to step down and not run for another term. The selection process will be done at the IPv6-wg session, via the meeting system "Meetecho". There will be a poll on who do you want to select. This system is available for all onsite and online. You will all get a link from the meeting organization to the Meetecho website, keep it near... You can still register for the meeting online or onsite: https://ripe87.ripe.net/attend/register/ In response to our request on the list we are glad to announce that we have 2 interested candidates: Christian Seitz Paolo Volpato They will send in their personal motivations and backgrounds to this list soon. We would like the members of this list to show their support for their preferred candidate, or send questions to the candidates, so we can discuss this even before the meeting. The decision however will be made at the meeting as said before. Best regards, The IPv6 WG chairs. For Internal Use Only

]REPOST] Animation showing IPv6 growth over time.
by Raymond Jetten 13 Nov '23

Some very nice visuals, enjoy ! Subject: [118attendees] Animation showing IPv6 growth over time. Date: Mon, 06 Nov 2023 07:16:53 -0600 From: Nick Buraglio <buraglio(a)forwardingplane.net> Reply-To: Nick Buraglio <buraglio(a)forwardingplane.net> To: 118attendees(a)ietf.org This set of animations have made the rounds within some of the IPv6 groups at IETF and it was thought that the 118 participants may find it encouraging and interesting. These animations showing both the growth of IPv6 over time were compiled by a researcher named Barrett Lyon using data from RouteViews* data. The animation of v6 starts on May 9th, 2003, as that is when RouteViews began compiling their IPv6 data. Enjoy!

Survey for operators on IPv6 Extension Headers
by Justin Iurman 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi all, On behalf of the University of Liege (Belgium), we've been doing measurements on IPv6 Extension Headers over the last two years. More specifically, we're trying to evaluate how they are processed by routers along the path, and so from the edge. Now, we would like to compare our observations with the reality of operators. For that, we propose this very short survey [1] to operators and would really appreciate if you could complete it. Note that we guarantee anonymity of your answers by not sharing any data. Looking forward to your input. Thanks, Justin [1] https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHgEWVQMrAbB9-pRf-T-mDHXxRxw-mAqO…

IPv6 survey web page
by Mark Prior 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hi all, Some folks in this WG may not know that I maintain a web page that shows accessibility to web, mail and DNS services via IPv6 across a number of domains. As I have just rewritten the script that generates it I thought I would take that opportunity to promote it a little. Back in 2007 at an Internet2 Joint Techs meeting Ron Broersma of DREN presented a talk on IPv6 adoption that included a coloured chart that showed a small number of Internet2 related domains and if they had IPv6 accessible web, mail and DNS. Basically the argument was that it was fine to have IPv6 plumbing but what were you doing with it (and the answer was not a lot). After chatting with Ron I decided to code up something and create a web page so I could report back any changes. Early in the piece the updates were ad hoc (probably driven by meeting deadlines) but eventually it was run by cron. Now it runs daily and works though a largish list of domains seeing if there are web, mail (smtp, submission and imap/pop), DNS, NTP, XMPP and SIP services available via IPv6. Also there is DNSSEC because something has to have worse deployment than IPv6 :-) Originally research and education domains dominated the list but over time I have added ISP/telcos and other commercial companies. There are probably zombie domains in the list too. Anyway that's enough of a background. If you are interested then have a look at <https://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/>. I am happy to add more domains if you want to suggest them. Regards, Mark.

IPv6 mobile deployment (was: Why did the Google IPv6 statistics dropped for the, Netherlands?)
by Geert Jan de Groot 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

Hi, May I ask a different, but related question: While IPv6 migration on classic networks (server farms, internet-at-home connections) is ongoing (and has been ongoing for many, many years, alas), we don't seem to make any progress with mobile data networks. My phone shows test-ipv6.com 10/10 when connected to my home wifi, when I connect via my mobile provider, I only get IPv4/CGN. For me, this has been the case for quite a while, with multiple providers. "Mobile" is important for IPv6 migration. Without IPv6 accessibility from mobile networks, the IPv6 migration unfortunately is only engineering overhead because it will never lead to an actual migration. So, what is the opinion of the working group on this one? I did ask the Dutch regulator and they didn't seem to be interested at all in making the migration work. That worries me. Are things different in other countries? Examples we can point to? Geert Jan

Why did the Google IPv6 statistics dropped for the Netherlands?

Hello, Is there anyone in this group that would dare to speculate on the sudden drop in IPv6 adoption for my country, the Netherlands on this URL? https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-ad… The drop is best shown here: https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/project.php -- Marco
