Anyway, half of this was a discussion about multihoming that I have heard 10 times already and that has always ended up in the same place: nowhere. If one wants to discuss the topic, one should type "ipv6 multihoming" in the search window of any reputable search engine and go where it's actually happening. Michel.

This is request to keep the current discussions regarding ipv6 on the appropriate list and not to cross post to both the ipv6 and lir working group lists: - ipv6-wg Technical discussions regarding the deployment of ipv6 in the RIPE region - lir-wg policy discussion list including ipv6 allocation policies Thanks, David K. ipv6 working group chair person ---

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] DNS servers
by BEGIN, Thomas 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

HI, I'm wondering what's the way for specifying to a host DNS server's addresses. I mean are these addresses necessary (from DNS servers) stocked in each individual host (as it used to be for IPv4)? or is there a way to give this information to routers ? I came to this question after reading the cisco's documentation about IPv6 commands (http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/12…) which specifies about giving to routers DNS server's addresses. Thanks Thomas

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Re: Reverse delegation for 6bone address space in ip6.arpa
by Axel Pawlik 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

Petr, all, over the last months, the RIRs have developed a reasonably pragmatic procedure to basically mirror the reverse delegation entries under ip6.int into ip6.arpa. Today, we have a working prototype implementing this approach. Unfortunately, our proposal has not been received favourably by the current administrator of the 6bone reverse delegations. To satisfy the needs of our members, however, we are now discussing another way to provide this functionality in a different way, building on the experiences we have made during the Early Registrations Transfer (ERX) Project. We will coordinate this closely with the other RIRs during next week's APNIC meeting; we are obviously also keeping an eye on the 6bone developements as regards the registry transfer and phaseout proposals. Expect a progress report after that. regards, Axel

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] network's architecture under IPv6
by BEGIN, Thomas 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

Hello to all, I am wondering on IPv6 impacts over a company network's architecture. I mean, a big IPv4 network has to be divided in several VLANs in order to lighten the available bandwidth (sometimes for security reasons but it is not my interest in this case). And this because broadcast messages are received and examined by all network adapter. Thus comes my question: As there is no more broadcast messages but only multicast messages in IPv6, is there still a need to divide a big network in smaller networks (VLANs) ? Thanks Thomas BEGIN

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Second IPv6 deployment survey
by leo vegoda 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

Dear Colleagues, At the IPv6 WG session at RIPE 44 last month, the RIPE NCC was requested to conduct a second survey on IPv6 deployment. Information on the first IPv6 deployment survey conducted by the RIPE NCC is available at: <http://www.ripe.net/ipv6/ipv6-survey-summary.html> <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-42/presentations/ripe 42-ipv6-survey/index.html> In the last survey we contacted LIRs that had received IPv6 allocations. To help develop the structure of the second survey, we would like community input on the following issues: 1. Should the survey be restricted to RIPE NCC members? 2. Should the survey be restricted to those holding IPv6 address space? 3. If the answer to 2 is "yes", should those networks have had the address space for any particular length of time? We would also appreciate comments on issues that are important to the IPv6 community with regards to IPv6 deployment. We look forward to your input. Kind regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] New IPv6 block allocated to RIPE NCC
by leo vegoda 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the IPv6 address range 2001:1400::/23 from the IANA in February 2003. You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly. More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC can be found on our web site at: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/smallest-alloc-sizes.html> Kind regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services
