Special Use IPv4 Addresses: Draft RFC Best Current Practice Document
by Axel Pawlik 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Dear colleagues, The IETF has issued a last call for comments on the draft RFC "Special Use IPv4 Addresses", Best Current Practice document. The document is available at: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-vegoda-cotton-rfc5735bis/ The Last Call period concludes on 9 August 2012. The IETF requests that substantive comments should be sent to <ietf(a)ietf.org> by this date. The abstract describing the proposed RFC is as follows: This document obsoletes RFC 5735 and updates RFC 6441. It describes the global and other specialized IPv4 address blocks that have been assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). It does not address IPv4 address space assigned to operators and users through the Regional Internet Registries, nor does it address IPv4 address space assigned directly by IANA prior to the creation of the Regional Internet Registries. It also does not address allocations or assignments of IPv6 addresses or autonomous system numbers. We ask that you read the document and send any comments you might have to the appropriate channel within the Last Call period. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

011-04 Implementation: Extension of the Minimum Size for IPv6 Initial Allocation
by Alex Le Heux 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has received a significant amount of requests following the RIPE community's recent acceptance of 2011-04, "Extension of the Minimum Size for an IPv6 Allocation". In order to process these requests under this new policy, we must adapt our internal infrastructure and produce the necessary request forms and documentation. We will have these posted to our website shortly. In the meantime, as of Monday, 9 July 2012, we will process requests for extensions to IPv6 allocations under section 5.7 of the IPv6 Address Policy. RIPE NCC members that would like to apply under this policy should email <lir-help(a)ripe.net> for the time being. Kind regards, Alex Le Heux Policy Implementation and Coordination RIPE NCC

06 Jun '12

==================================================================================== 2nd International Conference on Green Communications and Networking - GreeNets 2012 24th and 26th October 2012 Gandia, Spain http://greenets.org/ ==================================================================================== HIGHLIGHTS - The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation (www.eai.eu) a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT - All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries - Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more - Best papers will be selected to be included in one of the special issues that will be published in: Future Internet, Network Protocols and Algorithms, Recent Patent in Telecommunications CALL FOR PAPERS [Scope] Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse fields including green mobile networks, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets. [Topics] The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Communications and Networking: Communication techniques and protocols for GreeNets Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation communication Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network architectures, deployments, and applications - Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols: Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer design MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks - Systems and Technology: Transactions and workflows in green mobile networks Adaptability and stability of green mobile networks Mobile and multimedia supported green mobile networks Experimental and test bed studies for energy efficiency mobile networks, simulation tools - Energy-efficient management: Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques Protocols for cooperative management and control [Publications] Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus.

Re: [address-policy-wg] [policy-announce] 2012-05 New Policy
by Octavio Alfageme 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Dear all, First of all, sorry if this question was already addressed in the past, but I find a gap between the policy proposal and IPv4 market dynamics. According to the proposal, transfer would be approved if the receiving LIR fulfills requirements of Section 5.3 Additional Allocations. I personally agree with this requirement, but my doubt is how coherent it is with a real market scenario. A LIR selling an allocation would look for the best offer, regardless of the IPv4 allocation status with respect to Section 5.3 requirements of the purchasing LIR. Which would be the situation of a LIR acquiring IPv4 address blocks but unable to fulfill transfer requirements? Which would be the way to solve this situation? Kind regards Octavio Alfageme

> The list will be updated monthly In periods of heavy transfers, this might be a little to slow. Is weekly an option? Does it create more work for RIPE NCC or will the list be auto-generated anyway? Can someone in favor of monthly updates clarify why monthly was chosen? Regards Dan -- Dan Luedtke http://www.danrl.de
