Update 14 June (11:22 UTC): Reverse DNS Services Outage
by Romeo Zwart 14 Jun '12

14 Jun '12

Dear colleagues, We'd like to update you on the reverse DNS service outage situation. As of 10:45 UTC on Thursday, 14 June 2012, all reverse DNS zones we publish and that are not on the list below are correct and reflect the state of 13:30 UTC yesterday, 13 June. If you continue to see problems after this time, please contactdns-help(a)ripe.net with details of what responses you are getting. Please consider (negative) caching TTLs and restart your caching servers if possible. We've posted this update online at: https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/announcements/update-14-jun… =============== Outage Details =============== We know that some zones not mentioned in the list of the previous update (20:45 UTC, 13 June) were not correctly propagated to some authoritative servers after the roll-back last night. We do not know the extent of this at the present time. However we are sure that as of 10:45 UTC today all authoritative servers answer correctly with the state of 13:30 UTC 13 June for all zones but the few on the list in the previous update. We are working hard to restore the zones listed. We are busy adding all the updates since 13:30 UTC 13 June to all zones. We will report on how this work is progressing. The zones known to be still affected are: 0.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 185.in-addr.arpa 4.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 5.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 6.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 7.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 7.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 7.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa a.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa a.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa a.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa b.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa b.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa b.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa We will publish a full report once we've restored all the zones and have had sufficient time to fully analyse what went wrong. We have been working hard over the past 18 hours to resolve this problem and we apologise for the considerable inconvenience. Kind regards, Romeo Zwart GII Services Manager RIPE NCC

World IPv6 Launch: RIPE NCC Activities
by Axel Pawlik 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, World IPv6 Launch takes place today, 6 June 2012, marking a key milestone in the development of the Internet. Major Internet service providers (ISPs), manufacturers and content providers around the world are coming together to permanently enable IPv6 for their products and services. RIPE NCC is heavily involved in both the local and global events surrounding the Launch. Measurements ------------- We will monitor and analyse many of the participating websites from a number of vantage points before, during and after the Launch: http://v6launch.ripe.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi Local Event ----------- We've joined forces with several Dutch organisations to organise the World IPv6 Launch NL event at Science Park Amsterdam. The local technical community and future Internet leaders are attending the RIPE NCC's IPv6 tutorial, various IPv6-related presentations, hands-on workshops and plenary sessions. We'll be tracking the global Launch with live statistics throughout the day and Daniel Karrenberg, Chief Scientist, will give the keynote speech: http://ipv6launch.nl/ Global Activities ----------------- Find out more about our other IPv6 Launch activities, including the RIPEstat World IPv6 Launch Widget, how to test IPv6 reachability using RIPE Atlas and using the IPv6 Eye Chart to find out if you will have problems accessing websites, at: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/ipv6/world-ipv6-launch Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

2012 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey - Open Now Until 30 June
by Axel Pawlik 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The Number Resource Organization (NRO), on behalf of all the Regional Internet Registries, invites you to participate in the 3rd consecutive Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey on the current and future use of IPv6. The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure that the Internet community is ready and moving toward widespread adoption of IPv6. As it is mostly the same as the survey carried out globally in 2010 and 2011, comparison of progress will be possible. The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of our community to participate: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2012 The survey will be open for a month and will close on 30 June 2012. We anticipate a good response rate as 94% of last year's over 1600 respondents from around the globe indicated that they were interested in participating again. We encourage all organisations to participate in order for the results to establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey is composed of 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. For those interested, the results of last year's survey are available: http://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/ipv6_deployment_survey.pdf. Results of this year's survey will be presented and discussed widely. Please provide your name and contact information on the survey form if you wish to receive the draft survey analysis when available. Please also indicate whether you are willing to share additional data with the TNO and GNKS Consult IPv6 Deployment Monitoring team. We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to info(a)gnksconsult.com. Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
