[Survey] When do you upgrade your network?
by Romain Jacob 27 Mar '26

27 Mar '26

Dear all, [My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] TL;DR I lead an academic research project to better understand the motives behind network hardware upgrades. If you are operating a network infrastructure and have 10 minutes to spare, we would greatly appreciate you filling out this short (anonymous) survey: https://tally.so/r/rjEkZR == Longer version == My name is Romain; I am a senior scientist at ETH Zürich, Switzerland, where I research the environmental impacts of Internet infrastructure and how we can steer networks to become more sustainable in the future. There is increasing evidence that a large part of the Internet's impact comes from the manufacturing, deployment, and recycling of hardware, suggesting that networks could substantially reduce their footprint by keeping network devices in operation for longer, despite possibly higher energy consumption in older hardware models. Some of my ongoing research aims to assess whether this hypothesis is correct; happy to tell you more about that if you are interested. Assuming it is indeed correct that network hardware should be kept in operation for longer, if we want to encourage this, we must understand why networks are being upgraded today. * What are the main motives behind network hardware upgrades nowadays? * What factors are preventing or discouraging longer hardware lifetime in networks? We prepared a short survey to help answer those questions. After some brief contextualization questions to clarify the network type and context, the core of the survey presents a list of possible motives for hardware upgrades and asks, for each, how important it typically is in your own network upgrades. The second half of the survey contains (optional) questions related to the current environmental sustainability practices in your organization. If you are operating a network or working for an organization that operates a public or private network infrastructure, we would greatly appreciate you filling out this short (anonymous) survey: https://tally.so/r/rjEkZR And, naturally, you are more than welcome to share this survey within your own network (of humans, I mean). Many thanks in advance! — Romain -- Romain JACOB Postdoctoral Researcher ETH Zurich Networked Systems Group (NSG) Lead: Prof. Laurent Vanbever www.romainjacob.net <https://www.romainjacob.net/> @RJacobPartner <https://twitter.com/RJacobPartner> @jacobr@discuss.systems <https://discuss.systems/@jacobr> Gloriastrasse 35, ETZ G84 8092 Zurich +41 7 68 16 88 22

Re: PI IPv4 and PI IPv6 IXP assignments
by internetjoe＠posteo.net 14 Mar '26

14 Mar '26

Dear RIPE Community(?), Mr. Doering's argument that the RIPE region is inherently more complex than ARIN due to its diversity of legal frameworks is certainly a point of view, but it remains quite vague. Web research shows his long-standing involvement in the community and his previous advocacy for the organization, it's reasonable to consider whether this perspective might be influenced by a certain bias. When looking at the financial statements, the costs associated with registry maintenance appear to be a relatively modest portion of the overall budget. Even if these costs were to increase, the impact would likely be manageable. What stands out, however, is that a significant majority (well over two-thirds) of the budget is allocated to activities that are not directly related to the core function of managing the registry. This raises important questions: Why is such a large portion of the budget directed toward non-core activities? What are the strategic priorities driving these allocations, and how do they align with the needs and expectations of the membership? It would be valuable to hear the board's perspective on this matter, as their insights could provide much-needed clarity and context. Disclaimer: We are a German-based startup currently exploring options to move the management of our internet resources in house. We have to stress that we are new to this community but have a keen interest in learning. BR, Rene

PI IPv4 and PI IPv6 IXP assignments
by info＠rudaki-ix.net 12 Mar '26

12 Mar '26

Comments on RIPE NCC new Payment Scheme. The Internet is a critical infrastructure on which life depends, especially during wartime. I personally had to make sure of this in Ukraine. Reliable operation of the network depends on many factors, it is not only the availability of power or fuel in generators, but also the accessibility of networks (providers and operators) to traffic exchange points, especially to independent traffic exchange networks. Most traffic exchange points (especially small regional ones) are critically important and greatly improve communication. But with a small number of participants (up to 100 exchange participants), the financial costs of maintaining the IXP are quite significant, most regional traffic exchange points in Ukraine have practically no profits, or their financial income is so low that the introduction of a new payment scheme for resources such as RI is a big problem. Especially when there is war in the country, and paying 1000 euros for PI IPv4 and IPv6 IXP assignments is a knife in the back. I am the founder of the traffic exchange point in Ukraine: RUDAKi-IX. The creation of IXP from the very beginning did not bring me significant profit, practically one of the lowest port prices is achieved by minimal infrastructure costs and support for the exchange. Most participants are in a state of war and do not have the means to pay membership fees, but now the burden of paying for PI objects must fall on their shoulders, for a moment these are two PI IPv4 + PI IPv6 objects. My personal opinion is negative towards such a significant increase in the cost of these resources. It is necessary to allocate IXP resources from other PI resources and prevent their increase in cost for end users of RIPE NCC. I propose to leave the cost for IXP at EUR 75. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Зауваження до нової Схеми оплати RIPE NCC. Інтернет - це критична інфраструктура від роботи якої залежить життя, особливо під час війни. Мені особисто довелось в цьому впевнитися в Україні. Надійна робота мережі залежить від багатьох факторів, це не лише наявність живлення чи пального в генераторах а і доспутність мереж (провайдерів та оперторів) до точок обміну трафіку, особливо до незалежних мереж обміну трафіку. Більшість точок обміну трафіку (особливо невеликі регіональні) є критично важливими і дуже покращують зв'язок. Але з невеликою кількістю учасників (до 100 учасників біржі) фінансові витрати на підтримання роботи ІХР є досить значними, більшість регіональних точок обміну трафіку в Україні практично не мають прибутків, або їх фінансові надходження наскільки низьке що запровадження новой схеми оплати за ресурси типу РІ - це велика проблема. Особливо коли в країні війна, а сплата 1000 євро за PI IPv4 and IPv6 IXP assignments - це ніж в спину. Я засновник точки обміну трафіком в Україні: RUDAKi-IX. Створення ІХР із самого початку не мало на мені отримання значного прибутку, практично одна з найменшої ціни порту досягається мінимальними витрати на інфраструктуру і підтримку роботи біржи. Більшість учасників перебувають вкладній війській ситуації і не мають коштів сплачквати членські внески, але тепер на їх плечі має лягти тягар із сплати за обєкти РІ, на хвилинку це два об'єкти PI IPv4 + PI IPv6. Моя особиста думка має негатив до такої значного підвищення вартості за дані ресурси. Потрібно розподіляти ресурси ІХР від інших ресурсів РІ і не допустити їх збільшення вартості для кінцевих користуваців RIPE NCC. Я пропоную залишити для ІХР вартість на рівні EUR 75. -- Best regards, . Rudakov Igor mailto:info@rudaki-ix.net
