IPv6 Guide
by Jens Link 20 May '22

20 May '22

Hi, about a month ago I was asked on Twitter if I new any good and current books ob IPv6. Apparently there is nothing current[1]. I came up with the idea of starting an OpenSource Guide on IPv6. I created a git repo: https://gitlab.com/jenslink/ipv6guide and also have (sponsored) hardware to run website, mailing list, ... There is not much yet, but I'll reserved a couple of hours per week for it starting in June. The project is hosted in gitlab (because they have IPv6) and will be written in markdown. For now I'd prefer to start with an English version and maybe add translations later. All we need is people to create, review and edit content. That means we need your help if you have some time to spare. If you have any question, just ask. I'm also around the RIPE meeting for the rest of the week. Jens [1] Which might not be a problem, Gert Doering just recycled an 11year old presentation with very little changes. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Delbrueckstr. 41 | 12051 Berlin, Germany | +49-151-18721264 | | http://blog.quux.de | jabber: jenslink(a)quux.de | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last call and final reminder for nominations to the 2022 Rob Blokzijl Award
by Carsten Schiefner 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

[Apologies for cross-posting to various RIPE lists] Dear IPv6 WG members - this is the last call and final reminder for nominations to the 2022 Rob Blokzijl Award that will be accepted until this Friday, 18th March, at 23:59 UTC. In seeking nominations for this prestigious award, which was created to celebrate Rob's contributions to the development of the Internet, the Award Committee (https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/11/22/2022-award-committee/) is interested to receive nominations of those who have reflected Rob's approach in either a technical or operational capacity. Please give some consideration to nominating individuals - but also teams and groups of people! - in your own community and/or the wider industry in the RIPE region who, in your opinion, deserve to be recognised for their work to make the internet and/or internet community better. To specifically have this emphasised again after some according queries: nominations of teams and groups of people are very well possible and wished for as well in case their collective work would match the criteria of the call as laid out! The Award Committee is particularly interested to receive nominations of contributors who, in addition to their own contributions, have also supported and enabled others anywhere in the world. Also, the Award Committee would like to encourage those making nominations to consider not only the community members in the later stages of their careers or who are widely known but also those who may have contributed greatly in the springtime of their career or discreetly for the greater good or who may be considered to be part of an unrepresented group. And last but not least: those of you who previously have made a nomination other than Wilfried Woeber, the 2018 awardee, may want to consider resubmitting a nomination. The complete details of the call and the nomination process can be found at: https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/11/25/call-for-nominations-2022/ Best wishes and kind regards Carsten (on behalf of the Award Committee)

New on RIPE Labs: One Bit to the Left - An IPv6 Success Story
by Ewan Mackie 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, Back in December 2020, for the second time since we started allocating IPv6, the RIPE NCC granted a request for a subsequent /29 allocation. As moments like this are good indicators of how growth and demand for IPv6 is developing, we reached out to NetCologne GmbH to take a look back and learn more about their IPv6 story. The full interview is available here on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/author/ewan-mackie/one-bit-to-the-left-an-ipv6-succes… <https://labs.ripe.net/author/ewan-mackie/one-bit-to-the-left-an-ipv6-succes…> Kind Regards, Ewan Mackie RIPE NCC

Hijacking unused address space for a private infrastructure - any legal consequences?
by Vasilenko Eduard 24 Feb '22

24 Feb '22

Hi all, Could somebody speak on the legal consequences of hijacking unused address space? Imagine the situation that some vendor would push many Carriers to use FC/8 by cutting a rather big block out of it (/28 for each Carrier). This address space should have a registry. It is an IANA property till then. But: 1. Nobody is using it - nobody would be hurt. 2. This prefix would be excluded from the Internet (by routing and filtering) 3. FC/8 is assumed to be used for the closed domain (the purpose of usage is very similar). Just nobody decided how exactly. Maybe /28 is not how IANA and IETF would want to split it in the future. People could ask "why not GUA"? The answer is: it is difficult to get yet another /28 GUA from RIR just for the infrastructure. /28 goal has the technical roots by itself. It is the sort of technical solution. Could such LIR/Carrier have any pressure from any RIR or IANA itself? Is any restriction in the LIR agreement? Any legal consequences? (that would push for renumbering). Of course, I am aware what may happen if Carrier would need to connect infrastructure with different Carrier or Cloud Provider Without proper random prefix generation and registry to guarantee uniqueness. The technical side is very clear for me. I am just very ignorant on the legal side. Disclaimer: This question is not related to Huawei, not at all. Eduard

Re: [ipv6-wg] Hijacking unused address space for a private infrastructure - any legal consequences?
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 24 Feb '22

24 Feb '22

Hi Eduard, I think we need to first understand that addresses aren't a property. If you get allocated or assigned resources by a RIR, they do not belong to you, you just have a yearly license to use them, and (typically) while the need is justified. Similarly, they aren't an IANA property, it is just the central registry that allocates the to the 5 RIRs. By the way, obtaining any prefix length, from any RIR, if justified is not difficult. And that justification for IPv6 is not usually a problem. If there are cases where the actual policy doesn't work, in any RIR (most of them have basically the same text), we should work in improving the policy. I'm not really sure legally something can be done ...

Announcing the Updated IPv6 Fundamentals E-Learning Course
by Pedro Vaz 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Dear colleagues, Our updated IPv6 Fundamentals course is now live and available in the RIPE NCC Academy. The course aligns more with the IPv6 Fundamentals Analyst exam and has a fresh new look. We hope to see more network operators following best practices and developing their understanding of IPv6 policies through the course. The course consists of interactive modules and activities which help learners apply concepts using tools and realistic scenarios. You can find out more about the new IPv6 Fundamentals online course in the RIPE NCC Academy at: https://academy.ripe.net/ipv6-fundamentals I would like to thank everyone who participated in the course development process, for testing the exam, reviewing the course material and testing the activities. Having the involvement of the community is a major strength of our courses, and we thank all of our volunteers. If you have any questions or feedback, you can reach us at <exams at ripe.net>. Kind regards, Pedro Vaz Senior Technical Training and Development Officer
