Interesting Graphs on RIPE Labs: IPv4 Concentration or Diffusion
by Mirjam Kuehne 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Dear colleagues, It is often claimed that the ISP industry is concentrated and the bulk of the address space is in the hands of a small number of organisations. Is this really the case and what does that mean for the composition of the whole industry? Is it open for new businesses or controlled by a few? See an interesting study on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/tvest/interesting-graphs-concentration-diffusi… Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

28 Oct '10

ripe/roma is the week after ietf/beijing. this is a hint. randy Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:21:49 +0900 Message-ID: <m2zktyzss2.wl%randy(a)psg.com> From: Randy Bush <randy(a)psg.com> To: attendees <79attendees(a)ietf.org> Subject: [79attendees] wpa2 and firesheep as in maastricht, the beijing network will require authentication. as in maastricht, two flavors of authentication will be available, wpa2 enterprise mode and a web portal. you reallly really really want to use the wpa2 enterprise mode if at all possible. the reason is simple http://codebutler.github.com/firesheep/tc12 and further, until the content providers clean this up, you really do not want to use public wifi unless you vpn through it. but, if you use wpa2 authentication in beijing, you will not be totally vulnerable to this attack. randy

Unallocated pool of IPv4 addresses drops below 5%
by Axel Pawlik 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The Number Resource Organization (NRO) today announced that less than five percent of the world’s IPv4 addresses remain unallocated. This is a major milestone in the life of the Internet and means that allocation of the last blocks of IPv4 to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) is imminent. It is critical that all Internet stakeholders take definitive action now to ensure the timely adoption of IPv6. The press release issued by the NRO can be found at: http://www.nro.net/media/remaining-ipv4-address-below-5.html Information about IPv6 can be found on the IPv6 Act Now website: www.ipv6actnow.org Information about obtaining an IPv6 allocation from the RIPE NCC can be found at: http://ripe.net/rs/ipv6/ Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
