RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011
by Paul Rendek 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, We are delighted to report that the RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011, which closed on 18 June, received 1,266 responses. These responses will be extremely important in finding out the views of RIPE NCC members and other stakeholders on the direction the RIPE NCC should be taking as an organisation. An independent third party, the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), will conduct the analysis of the survey data. Any information that may identify the respondents will be removed by the OII and will not be made available to the RIPE NCC or published in the report. The results of the survey will be presented at the RIPE 63 Meeting, which takes place in Vienna, Austria from 31 October - 4 November 2011. ============ iPad winners ============ To encourage participation in the survey, the RIPE NCC offered five iPads to respondents. We would like to congratulate the following five people, who were randomly drawn by the OII as the winners of the iPads. - James Blessing, Limelight Networks - Bror-Erik Karlsson, Anvia Registry - David Alldritt, Highnet - Abdullah Alzaher, Arabcircle Internet Services - Sergey Sysoev, Tomsk Polytechnic University We would like to thank all those who took the time to participate in this crucial survey for the RIPE NCC. Best regards, Paul Rendek Head of Communications and External Relations RIPE NCC

All of the RIPE NCC’s services and content have already been available over IPv6 for some time. We are also taking part in events in Amsterdam and Moscow, as well as conducting a wide range of IPv6-related measurements and analysis. IPv6 Eye Chart ============== If you want to find out if you will have problems accessing websites during World IPv6 Day, you can use the IPv6 Eye Chart: http://ipv6eyechart.ripe.net/ World IPv6 Day Dashboard ======================== All the IPv6 measurements carried out by the RIPE NCC are available at: http://v6day.ripe.net Amsterdam Event =============== The World IPv6 Day event in Amsterdam features tutorials, workshops, panel discussions and keynote speeches on IPv6. You can follow the event live at: http://webcolleges.uva.nl/mediasite/Viewer/?peid=bee87df6f35d4943adaff2ad98… Moscow Event ============ World IPv6 Day is being celebrated during the RIPE Day at the first meeting of the Eurasia Network Operators Group (ENOG), taking place in Moscow. Throughout the day, there will be IPv6-related presentations, a special meeting for the press and screens tracking the measurements being conducted by the RIPE NCC.

ENOG 1/ RIPE NCC Regional Meeting 6-8 June 2011: RIPE Day
by Paul Rendek 24 May '11

24 May '11

Dear colleagues, The ENOG 1/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting will take place at the Marriott Grand Hotel in Moscow from 6-8 June 2011. This is an excellent opportunity to meet with colleagues from the Russian region, key players in the global and local Internet industry, and RIPE NCC staff. Thanks to the Coordination Center for TLD RU for being the local host of this meeting. ------------------ Register to Attend ------------------ This meeting is free to attend, but you must register in advance. You can register online at: http://www.enog.org/register/ ------------------ RIPE Day ------------------ In an effort to increase regional participation in RIPE matters, the first ever RIPE Day will take place on the last day of ENOG 1 on 8 June. The RIPE Day enables attendees to find out more about the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP) and openly discuss policies currently in the PDP. More information about this initiative is available at: http://www.enog.org/programme/ripe-day/ ------------------ Agenda ------------------ The draft agenda has been posted at: http://www.enog.org/agenda/ The final agenda will be published on Monday. ------------------ Live Webcasting ------------------ A live webcast of the meeting will be provided for those unable to attend the meeting in person. A special thanks to MSK IX for arranging the webcast. The webcast recordings and presentations will be archived at: www.enog.org We look forward to seeing you in Moscow for another great meeting!

Participate Now: RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey
by Axel Pawlik 19 May '11

19 May '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, You still have time to take part in the RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011. The survey can be taken at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2011 ================== Important Feedback ================== This survey comes at a critical point as it will influence the strategy of the RIPE NCC following the depletion of the IPv4 address pool. The analysis of the survey results will be conducted by the Oxford Internet Institute, and all identifying information will be removed before the data is given to the RIPE NCC. For the first time, the survey is open to all stakeholders in the RIPE community in addition to RIPE NCC members. So far, over 300 people have responded to the survey. We aim to receive 1,000 responses by the survey closing date of 10 June. The survey should take only 10-15 minutes to complete. =========== Win an iPad =========== To encourage participation in the survey, the RIPE NCC is giving away five iPads to respondents chosen at random by the OII. Next week, we will announce the "early bird" winner of the first iPad, who will be drawn from those who responded to the survey by 16 May. The other four iPads will be drawn at random from all respondents. We look forward to receiving your input. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

max len in roas
by Randy Bush 10 May '11

10 May '11

re alex's preso on how the ripe/ncc roa generation gui works, with help from geoff, the latest version of draft-ietf-sidr-origin-ops gives more detailed advice on the subject. Use of RPKI-based origin validation obviates the utility of announcing many longer prefixes when the covering prefix would do. To aid translation of ROAs into efficient search algorithms in routers, ROAs SHOULD be as precise as possible, i.e. match prefixes as announced in BGP. E.g. software and operators SHOULD avoid use of excessive max length values in ROAs unless operationally necessary. Therefore, ROA generation software MUST use the prefix length as the max length if the user does not specify a max length. Operators SHOULD be conservative in use of max length in ROAs. E.g., if a prefix will have only a few sub-prefixes announced, multiple ROAs for the specific announcements SHOULD be used as opposed to one ROA with a long max length. the third para specifically addresses the issue alex raised, thanks alex. randy
