Deprecation of ip6.int scheduled for 1 June 2006
by Andrei Robachevsky 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Dear Colleagues In August 2005, the IETF published RFC 4159: 'Deprecation of "ip6.int"', as a Best Current Practice document. The RFC noted that maintenance of "ip6.int" is no longer needed and called on the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) to decide when to stop providing support for the domain. The RIRs have jointly agreed to do this on 1 June 2006. There will be a short presentation on this at the RIPE 52 Meeting in Istanbul. You can find more information about this meeting at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-52/index.html Regards Andrei Robachevsky Chief Technical Officer RIPE NCC

AOB I'm not sure whether this is within scope, or better mentioned in the NCC-services WG, or just simply discussed over coffee with an NCC person. A colleague in a sister organization here in Ireland has recently had an experience which leads me to think that it would be useful to have some consistency checking between address assignments and the corresponding IN-ADDR.ARPA domains, at least at the /16 level. See you all next week. /Niall

Problems with ipv6 router
by Andrei Robachevsky 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Dear Colleagues, [We are sorry for any duplicate mails you might receive] This afternoon we experienced a problem with our IPv6 router. Problems started at 13:50, and we are still facing problem. None of our IPv4 services are affected, as these are dealt with by other routers. Affected services, which we offer on IPv6 are: - FTP: ftp.ripe.net - WWW: www.ripe.net - DNS: ns*.ripe.net - Whois: whois.ripe.net We suspect that an interfacecard of our dedicated IPv6 router is faulty, and at the moment an engineer is working on it. The long term solution is that we will replace this router. We apologise for any disruption or delay this may have caused. If you have any further questions about this matter, please send an e-mail to ops(a)ripe.net. Kind regards Andrei Robachevsky CTO, RIPE NCC

Emergency Maintenance
by Mark Guz 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Dear Colleagues, During our maintenance window last night at NikHef we experienced connectivity problems with one of our core layer2 switches. This meant that the maintenance window was extended for an hour beyond the scheduled 19:30 - 21:30 period. The connectivity problems may have caused unreliable access to our external services, including www.ripe.net, whois.ripe.net and lirportal.ripe.net. We will perform remedial work this evening between 18:00 and 20:00 CET to replace a faulty fibre link.Unfortunately, this may cause some temporary connectivity problems. Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience. Kind Regards, -- Mark Guz Senior System/Network Engineer RIPE NCC Singel 258 Amsterdam 1016 AB Tel: +31 (0) 20 535 4444 Fax: +31 (0) 20 535 4445 http://www.ripe.net
