Call for presentations RIPE 72
by Benno Overeinder 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 72 below or at https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is 13 March 2016. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 72 will take place from 23-27 May 2016 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 72. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 13 March 2016. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations - Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice---in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, presenters/panellists should be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/

Survey on IPv4 Scarcity, IPv6 Adoption, Carrier-Grade NAT Deployment
by Philipp Richter 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Dear RIPE community, we are a team of researchers from ICSI Berkeley, TU Berlin, TU Munich, Internet Initiative Japan and UC Berkeley jointly working on a project to assess the effects of IPv4 address exhaustion. As part of our research, we conduct a survey among network operators. The goal of this survey is to better understand the degree of IPv4 scarcity that ISPs face and which measures are taken to combat it (IPv4 Carrier-Grade NAT deployment, IPv4 address markets, and IPv6 transition mechanisms). If you work for an ISP that connects end-users to the Internet, we would greatly appreciate your response. To participate, please visit http://natsurvey.icsi.berkeley.edu/ (answering should take less than 5 minutes, all questions are explicitly optional). We will make anonymized results of this survey available to the public in early 2016. Thank you very much for your support! If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly at prichter AT icsi DOT berkeley DOT edu.
