RIPE NCC Receives Additional /12 IPv6 Allocation from IANA
Dear colleagues, On 5 June 2019, the RIPE NCC received the following IPv6 allocation from IANA: 2a10:0000::/12 All allocations of IPv6 unicast address space made by IANA to RIRs are listed here: https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-unicast-address-assignments/ipv6-unica... We received our previous /12 allocation (2a00:0000::/12) on 3 October 2006. The conditions under which we qualified for an additional allocation are described in the IANA Policy For Allocation of IPv6 Blocks to RIRs: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/allocation-ipv6-rirs-2012-02-25-en The RIPE NCC is the first RIR to receive an additional /12 IPv6 block. As today is also the seventh anniversary of World IPv6 Launch Day, we took the opportunity to look at some of the history of IPv6 and how it has been distributed in our service region: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/riccardo_stagni/we-re-running-out-of-ipv6 Kind regards, Nikolas Pediaditis Registration Services & Policy Development Assistant Manager RIPE NCC

This is a great post - thankyou for writing and sharing and kudos for getting to this point of IPv6 adoption and deployment in the RIPE NCC service region. If you’ll permit me a moment of pedantic windmill-tilting, World IPv6 Day was 6/6/11 and World IPv6 Launch began on 6/6/12. There is no such thing as World IPv6 Launch Day :-) Regards, Mat

Would you be able to share the current percentage of allocated [by RIPE NCC] v6 prefixes being announced in the DFZ? (If you have recent up-to-date numbers readily available) Christoffer

Following your question, we did a fresh calculation today. There are currently 19.516 IPv6 blocks allocated or assigned by the RIPE NCC, out of which 9.134 (hence, 46.8%) are seen in RIS as announced. More specifically, 7.346 of those IPv6 blocks are seen as announced in full and 1.788 partially. Kind regards, Nikolas Pediaditis Registration Services & Policy Development Assistant Manager RIPE NCC

Hi Mat, Thanks for your kind words. And you are of course right. I'll change that in the article and refer back to your comment if you don't mind. And thanks for helping with both the IPv6 Day and the IPv6 Launch :-) Regards, Mirjam On 06/06/2019 17:40, Mat Ford wrote:

While we're being pedantic, allow me to tilt a little further in: On 06/06/2019 08:40, Mat Ford wrote:

June 8th, 2011, and June 6th, 2012. (2011-06-06 00:00:00 UTC would have been a Sunday for many.) But mainly I remember because the little inequality has always stuck in my craw :-) Cheers, S.

Nice and congratulations :-) And, for the record, I think this is a sign that decisions made 20 years ago are reasonable - both in regard to "is the /12 a suitable allocation that will last enough years to not be a major nuisance" and to "are we giving out enough IPv6 to ISPs that we're actually making *use* of the space that we have". So, congrats to the community as well! Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
