2. RIPE and RIPE NCC

3. About RIPE NCC
• One of the five Regional Internet Registries (RIR)
• RIPE NCC service region covers Europe, the
Middle East and parts of central Asia
• Not-for-profit association, based in Amsterdam
• Funded from the membership fee
• 7.800 members throughout the region
• Neutral, impartial, open and transparent

4. The Five RIRs
Nathalie Trenaman, 23 November 2011 4

5. RIPE NCC Activities
• Distribution and registration of Internet number
Resources: IPv4, IPv6 and AS numbers
• Training courses and tutorials
• Measurements and statistical analysis
• We operate the K-root name servers
• Organise RIPE Meetings twice a year
• Provide a platform for the industry to exchange
experiences and knowledge
Nathalie Trenaman, 23 November 2011 5

6. The RIPE Community
• The RIPE Community acts as the policy making
body in the RIPE NCC service region
• RIPE has a chair, but is not a formal body
• Community is open to everyone
• Discussion via mailing lists and at the meetings
• Decisions are made by consensus
• All that is required to join, is a working email
address to subscribe to the mailing list

11. RIPE NCC IPv4 Available Pool
Nathalie Trenaman, 23 November 2011 11

12. RIPE NCC’s last /8
• We do things differently!
• Ensures IPv4 access for all members
– 16000+ /22s in a /8
– members can get one /22 (=1024 addresses)
– must already hold IPv6
– must qualify for allocation
• /16 set aside for unforeseen situations
– if unused, will be distributed
• No PI
Nathalie Trenaman, 23 November 2011 12

13. Transfer of IPv4 Allocations
• Policy 2007-08: Allocation Transfer Policy
– Don’t buy your IPv4 on eBay!
– Transfer unused allocations to another LIR
– Minimum allocation size /21
– Evaluated by RIPE NCC
– Update in RIPE Database

14. IPv6!

15. IPv6 Ripeness
• Rating system:
– One star if the LIR has an IPv6 allocation
– Additional stars if:
- IPv6 Prefix is announced on router
- A route6 object is in the RIPE Database
- Reverse DNS is set up
–A list of all 4 star LIRs: http://ripeness.ripe.net/

26. World IPv6 Day on 8 June 2011
• Major organisations offered all content over IPv6
for a day
– Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai, Limelight NW, etc
• Test drive
• IPv4 not “switched off”
• More info on:
– http://www.worldipv6day.org/
– content providers: dual stack & AAAA records in DNS
Nathalie Trenaman, 23 November 2011 22

27. RIPE NCC Measurements - World IPv6 Day
• IPv6 Eyechart and 6to4 (not in this talk)
• Active measurements
– Sources: 49 vantage points (RIPE TTM, CAIDA Ark, ...)
– Destinations: 53 participant or already dual-stacked
sites
– From 2011-06-01 to 2011-06-11 we measured
– DNS: A and/or AAAA records
– ping(6)/traceroute(6)
– HTTP over IPv4 and IPv6
Nathalie Trenaman, 23 November 2011 23

28. Norway and World IPv6 Day
• Good participation - top 150 Alexa list
- www.google.no
- online.no
- ba.no
- disabled after World IPv6 Day
• 18 websites have their www still available over IPv6
• 43 have working DNS
Source: http://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status
Nathalie Trenaman, 23 November 2011 24

29. Conclusions - What We Learned
• IPv6/dual-stack works just fine, but make sure
that
– It is properly tested and monitored (like IPv4)
– Your network can reach all others (like IPv4)
• Dual-stack = Two chances for best performance
• Days like this “work”
– Raise awareness
– Give people a target to work towards
– We’re ready for a next IPv6 day/week/month/year

30. Accessing www.ripe.net over IPv6
Nathalie Trenaman, 23 November 2011 26

31. Effects of Capacity Building
• Take some statistics on IPv6 Deployment:
- Number of members that have an IPv6 Allocation
- Networks (ASNs) advertising IPv6 address blocks
• Split them per country and plot them over time
as a percentage
• Plot in what we think are significant events:
- RIPE NCC IPv6 for LIRs training course
- MENOG IPv6 Roadshow
- Meetings/Forums/Your event?
