Resignation as co-chair of ipv6
by David Kessens 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hi, My personal circumstances have changed in such a way that I most recently did not spent as much time and effort for the ipv6 working group as it deserves. At the same time, I have served the working group for over 15 years and it would certainly not be unreasonable to think that it is good for the working group to change direction. Considering the above, I have decided to resign as co-chair of the ipv6 working group. I hope that this change will give a chance to a new generation of RIPE participants to play a role as a chairperson of a working group and as a participant in the RIPE working group chair collective. Thanks, David Kessens ---

Follow-Up on Niall's talk: Ramond (RA Monitoring Daemon)
by Benedikt Stockebrand 21 May '14

21 May '14

Hi folks, after his presentation learned from Niall that he didn't actually know about the ramond, so here's some quick info for all who have a similar situation like him: Ramond is a little tool that listens for RAs and then matches the source MAC address or whatever with a list of authorized routers. It can clean up after rogue router RAs by sending a follow-up RA with router lifetime of 0 and deprecating all the advertised prefixes, and it can also run some external programs/scripts to do additional clean up (like an automated retaliation strike). It's open source and should run on all standard Unixes (so far I've only tested it on Linux myself), and of course it can be combined with 802.1Q. I've also covered it in the second half of my video blog episode at http://www.stepladder-it.com/bivblog/23 with the most relevant parts starting at about 15:00 into the video. If you handle networks with a potential for rogue advertising routers and don't know about the tool, I recommend you take a look at it.

Introducing the IPv6 Analyser
by Alex Band 20 May '14

20 May '14

Dear colleagues, You can now visit the LIR Portal and try out seamless RIPE Database object creation using the IPv6 Analyser: https://www.ripe.net/s/zToA The IPv6 Analyser is a toolset that offers our members a visual insight into all the allocations, aggregations and assignments they have made. This is the first toolset that seamlessly integrates with the RIPE Database, allowing you to create new objects with an easy-to-use wizard that guides you through the process, searching for available space, and pre-filling known information. Our goal is to unify resource management in the LIR Portal by extending these design principles to organisation, routing and Reverse DNS management. Now that the core design is available, we very much look forward to your feedback on how we can make the IPv4 and IPv6 Analyser as useful as possible. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

IEEE International Workshop on Cloud-integrated Cyber Physical Systems 2014 (IEEE Cloud-CPS 2014)
by Sandra Sendra 20 May '14

20 May '14

********************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE International Workshop on Cloud-integrated Cyber Physical Systems 2014 (IEEE Cloud-CPS 2014) Submission due July 31, 2014 http://cloudcps.cwins.org Dec 15 � 18, 2014, Singapore Singapore in conjunction with IEEE CloudCom 2014, Dec 15 � 18, 2014, Singapore ******************************************************************** Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of computing, communications and control to provide wide range of applications in all domains. This advancement provides the opportunities to bridge the physical components/processes and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use computing (sensing, analyzing, predicting, understanding, etc.), communication (interaction, intervene, interface management, etc.) and control (inter-operate, evolve, evidence-based certification, etc.) to make intelligent and autonomous systems. Such systems are playing an increasingly prevalent and important role in this electronic era such as healthcare, manufacturing, civil infrastructure, aerospace, entertainment, transportation and many automated physical systems. Computing and networking are two major components of CPS and Cloud has infinite resources for both. Cloud-integrated CPS will not only enhance CPS itself but also process, analyze! and manage (CPS) big data efficien tly. However, there are many issues and hurdles of Cloud-integrated CPS that need discussions. Our aim is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present their research results in the area of Cloud-integrated Cyber-Physical Systems. The proposed workshop CloudCPS-2014 will serve as a forum for researchers from academia, government and industries to exchange ideas, present new results and provide future visions on these topics. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Cloud-CPS Architecture - Cloud-CPS Modeling and Simulation - Virtualization of Physical Components in Cloud-CPS - Design and Performance Optimization in Cloud-CPS - Cloud-assisted Situation-aware and decision support - Big-data Processing and Visualization in Cloud-CPS - Mobile Cloud-CPS - Game Theory for Cloud-CPS - Tools and Methods for Cloud-CPS - Sensor-actuator Networks - Security, Privacy, and Trust in Cloud-CPS - Intelligent (Road/Air) Transportation Cloud-CPS - Cloud-CPS in healthcare - Cloud-CPS in energy - Fog computing - Cloud-CPS: Tools, test beds and deployment issues - Opportunistic spectrum access for Cloud-CPS ***************************** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ***************************** The authors are advised to submit their research paper following the IEEE CS format: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. Instructions for authors how to format the manuscript can be found at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/submission/ http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting/ The following templates below, are general templates designed for conferences using an US Letter (8.5" x 11") trim size.

IPV6 IPV4 work around
by Timothy Roy 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hi to All, I mentioned this a the Meeting in Warsaw but not sure if anyone really understood so I will submit it again. I realize that there will still be a lot of networks that will have to be able to translate over to IPV4 from IPV6 and vice versa. I also know that most are not too willing to obtain another piece of equipment for their system, but using a LTM (F5 LTM (which is what we will be using this year)) to do the translation from IPV6 to IPV4. This would be an excellent work around for quite a few issues that I have read about such as email. I have not tested this with email but will be testing it with our DNS very soon as I want to get our system on the IPV6 Internet so to speak. Just a thought and would also like to hear from anyone that may have already done so or tried to.

Discrepancies within ripe-554
by Cudok, Dr. Andreas 15 May '14

15 May '14

Dear Sirs, while reading ripe-554 (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-554) carefully, I found the following discrepancies: 1. In section "Requirements for network security equipment" you say that "For every mandatory standard the applicable subgroups are specified in parentheses at the end of the line". Then within "Mandatory Support" you can find the following line: "Deprecation of Type 0 Routing Headers in IPv6 [RFC5095]*". Does the omission of any applicable subgroup mean, that this requirement is not applicable to any subgroup (where the "*" just indicates that this is a requirement for "IPv6 Ready Logo" only), or does it in contrast mean, that this requirement is implicitly applicable to all 3 subgroups FW, IFS and APFW? 2. Within "Optional Support" of section "Requirements for network security equipment" with one exception no applicable subgroups are specified. Does this mean, that these optional requirements are implicitly applicable to all 3 subgroups FW, IFS and APFW? But then no applicable subgroup should be mentioned at all, hence the one exception I mentioned causes confusion: "Using IPsec to Secure IPv6-in-IPv4 Tunnels [RFC4891] (FW)". And you are embarrassed even more when you see the following a few lines later: "Using IPSec to Secure IPv6-in-IPv4 Tunnels [RFC4891]". Hence, I assume that the first line "Using IPsec to Secure IPv6-in-IPv4 Tunnels [RFC4891] (FW)" is an error and has to be wiped out? 3. Within "Mandatory Support" of section "Requirements for network security equipment" you find "If the request is for a dynamic internal gateway protocol (IGP), then the required . , OSPF-v3 [RFC5340] . must be supported." while within "Optional Support" of section "Requirements for network security equipment" you will see: "OSPF-v3 [RFC5340]". Can you explain this contrariety? 4. Within "Mandatory Support" of section "Requirements for network security equipment" you find "If OSPF-v3 is requested, the device must support "Authentication/Confidentiality for OSPFv3" [RFC4552] (FW, IPS, APFW)" while within "Optional Support" of section "Requirements for network security equipment" you will see: "Authentication/Confidentiality for OSPF-v3 [RFC4552]". Can you explain this contrariety? Your answers are welcome!

IPv6 Only Testbed at RIPE68
by Marco Hogewoning 15 May '14

15 May '14

Dear colleagues, Welcome to Warsaw. Following the discussion at RIPE 66, and a successful experoment in Athens last autumn, the IPv6 Working Group is happy to provide you with an experimental network that is configured to offer only IPv6. Please note this experimental network is not supported by the RIPE NCC or RIPE 68 Technical Team. We encourage everybody to connect to this network and test any websites, applications, hardware and software, and verify that they operate when an IPv4 address is no longer available. Important: This network is an experiment and is offered on a best-effort basis. We will try to maintain sufficient service levels and are happy to look into and help troubleshoot any issues you may encounter. If you rely on network connectivity for important business, we recommend you connect to the regular RIPE Meeting network. How to connect: - Make sure IPv6 is enabled on your device - Connect to SSID: IPV6ONLYEXP (5GHz) or IPVONLYEXP2.4 (2.4 GHz) - Enter the password: iknowbesteffort The network provides NAT64 translation to connect to legacy services – please use the name server provided by the network to make use of this feature. We suggest you leave IPv4 enabled as this will be the scenario for most end users. If you have any feedback or questions please try and find me or post it to this list. Of course we also welcome any feedback during our working group sessions on Thursday. And once again big thanks to Andrew Yourtchenko, Cisco and the RIPE NCC staff who helped setting this up and provided the necessary equipment and software. Greetings, Marco Hogewoning co-chair of the IPv6 working group
