09 Mar '11

Dear colleagues, Registration is now open for the Middle East Network Operators Group (MENOG) 8/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting, taking place in Damascus, Syria from 14-19 May 2011. This is the first time a MENOG/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting will be held in Syria. We would like to thank the host Syrian Computer Society (SCS) for supporting this event. MENOG meetings are excellent opportunities to share ideas and experiences with other network operators and network engineers from across the Middle East, to develop cross-regional cooperation and to meet with key players in the local and global Internet industry. The MENOG 7 Meeting, held in Istanbul in October 2010, attracted over 240 attendees from 34 countries, and we expect the MENOG 8 Meeting to build on the success of that event. Registration will close when maximum capacity is reached, so please register soon to ensure your attendance. For all information and for registration details, please visit: http://menog.net/meetings/menog8 Regards, The MENOG Coordination Team Kais Al-Essa, Osama Al-Dosary, Sultan AlShamsi, Sandra Gijzen, Gaurab Raj Upadhaya, Paul Rendek, Philip Smith

[ncc-announce] Launch of RIPE NCC LIR Locator
by Kaveh Ranjbar 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Dear Colleagues, We have introduced a new service, the LIR Locator: https://lirportal.ripe.net/maps/locator/ This new service is an extension of the existing list of RIPE NCC members: https://www.ripe.net/membership/indices/ and the RIPE NCC's service region map: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/member-support/info/list-of-members In addition to clearly indicating those RIPE NCC members with an IPv6 RIPEness score of four, this new service marks the geographical location of members on a Google map. This service is accessible to the public and enables users to see the concentration of RIPE NCC members in cities and countries. RIPE NCC members can log in to to their LIR Portal account and either confirm the geo-location that we have determined for your registry's address from your public records or change it to any location within your registered country. More details about this service and future plans for it will be published on RIPE Labs shortly. Regards, Kaveh Ranjbar - Business Applications Product Owner Senior Software Engineer RIPE NCC

[ncc-announce] IPv4 Exhaustion: RIPE NCC Update
by Axel Pawlik 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Dear colleagues, The IANA IPv4 free pool was exhausted today, 3 February 2011. Each of the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) has now received one of the final five /8s. The RIPE NCC has been allocated 185/8. The RIPE NCC is holding reserves totaling approximately four /8s (around 75 million individual IPv4 addresses), not including 185/8. We will continue to distribute IPv4 addresses from our reserves according to the current policy, ripe-509, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region": http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-509.html When our reserves are exhausted, we will begin to distribute IPv4 addresses from 185/8 according to section 5.6 of ripe-509: http://ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv4-policies.html#----use-of-last----for-pa-allo… This policy states that each Local Internet Registry (LIR) will receive one /22 (1024 IPv4 addresses) from 185/8 upon application for IPv4 resources. In order to obtain this /22 allocation, the LIR must already have requested an IPv6 allocation. For more information about how to deploy IPv6, please see: http://www.ipv6actnow.org As we unable to anticipate consumption rates, we cannot fully predict how long our reserves will last. However, we would like to reassure you that our supplies will not be exhausted within the coming months. Our Registration Services Department has seen an increase in the number of IPv4 requests in the last few days and is working hard to evaluate all requests. We ask for your patience during this busy period. Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
