RIPE 43 meeting info
by RIPE NCC Meeting Registration 05 Aug '02

05 Aug '02

Dear colleagues, Only a few weeks away from RIPE 43. Rhodes is the location for RIPE 43 and all information on travelling and accommodation can be found on our website www.ripe.net. The agenda for the whole week can also be found on our website. Here is a snapshot of some interesting items: SDU/DNS workshop by Edward Lewis (ARIN): A workshop that covers the issues concerning dynamic update, the advantages and the risks. Setting up dynamic update, securing it, creating and managing keys for updates, and authorization configuration will be covered. The workshop will progress from setting up an unsecured dynamic update zone, securing the zone via TSIG and SIG(0), and using the two different authorization policy statements. Tools to be used are BIND 9.3 (snapshot) servers, rndc, dig, and nsupdate. Presentation by Andy Linton (Lionra): "As Internet backbone connectivity becomes more complex, it becomes more difficult to keep track of peering policies with providers and customers. By specifying routing details using RPSL in the public Internet Routing Registry (IRR) providers can use the information to check consistency and build router configurations". "You will learn how to register objects in an RPSL routing registry and gain an understanding of the use of the IRRToolSet". Please see our website for further information www.ripe.net. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us meeting(a)ripe.net. With kind regards, Asha Raghoebarsing Meeting Coordinator
