Agenda for RIPE 59
by Jim Reid 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Colleagues, here's the agenda for the Lisbon meeting. There might be some small adjustments to the running order between now and RIPE59. Though there shouldn't be any major changes. If there are updates, they'll be posted here and on the meeting web pages. Hope to see you all in Lisbon next month. # # $Id: dnswg-agenda59,v 1.6 2009/09/18 11:54:26 jim Exp $ # Morning Session A. Administrivia & Agenda Bashing (2 mins) B. Matters arising from RIPE58 Minutes (3 mins) C. Review of Action Items (10 mins) D. IETF Report (10 mins) Carsten Strotmann, Men and Mice E. IANA Update (10 mins) Leo Vegoda, ICANN Progress report on root signing and the ITAR. F. DNSwitness: recent developments (15 mins) Stephane Bortzmeyer, AFNIC DNSwitness is a set of (free software) programs to gather statistics from the DNS. The active component of DNSwitness has now more data to display, showing an increase in IPv6 use in .FR. The new passive component allows us to get information from the packets we receive. G. Provisioning DNSSEC - What Would Operators Do? (15 mins) Ed Lewis, Neustar Recent lapses in the operation of Trust Anchor Repositories illustrate that the need to develop some operationally sound means to exchange DNSSEC Keys amongst operators of DNS servers, both from the operator of a zone upwards (e.g., a TLD) and if needed to ISP-run caches. This talk will discuss the operational considerations and open the floor for suggestions for requirements. H. Followup to EOF Presentations (20 mins) Discussion about the ITAR and root signing, DNSSEC in .pt Afternoon Session I. NCC Update (10 mins) Anand Buddhev, RIPE NCC J. Lame Delegation Analysis for the RIPE region (25 mins) Shane Kerr, ISC Falling Trees (or If a DNS Server is Lame but Nobody Queries It, Should I Get an E-mail?) Queries to the RIPE NCC server for reverse DNS were recorded and compared against which name servers are lame. Based on this, we can see which queries are affected by lameness, and how badly. K. ICANN/OARC Root Zone Augmentation Impact Analysis (15 mins) Duane Wessels, OARC ICANN commissioned DNS-OARC to study upcoming changes to the DNS root zone. In particular we examined signing the zone with DNSSEC, increasing the number of TLDs, and adding more IPv6 glue records. OARC studied how these changes affect zone size, response latency, start and reload times, AXFR and IXFR bandwidth requirements, and potential increases in queries over TCP. L. Root Zone Scaling Survey Findings (15 mins) Lyman Chapin, Interisle M. Open discussion on root scaling (20 mins) N. AOB

New local K-root node in Tanzania
by Anand Buddhdev 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce that we have deployed a new K-root local node at the Tanzania Internet Exchange (TIX) in Dar es Salaam. This node is sponsored by AfriNIC and the Tanzania Internet Service Providers Association (TISPA), with transit provided by Simbanet and Africa Online. The RIPE NCC is participating in AfriNIC's Root Server Anycast Copy Program, which assists well established IXPs in the African region to deploy anycast instances of root name servers. The K-root local node in Dar es Salaam is the first such deployment. For more information about this K-root node, and K-root in general, please visit the K-root website: http://k.root-servers.org/ For more information about AfriNIC's Root Server Anycast Copy Program, please visit: http://www.afrinic.net/projects/project_anycast.htm Regards, Anand Buddhdev DNS Services Manager RIPE NCC

DNSSEC for 1.3.e164.arpa
by Antoin Verschuren 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear colleagues, As some of you may have noticed We have signed in our zone 1.3.e164.arpa last week. We are preparing for implementation of DNSSEC in that zone. In the coming months, we will test our administrative procedures. We will do some emergency key rollovers to make sure they work in our production systems the same as they did in our testing environment. Once we are satisfied about the results, we will publish our trust anchor on our website and to our parent RIPE NCC. In the mean time, we don't advise the key in our zone to be treated as a trust anchor in production systems. You are free to experiment with it though. Changes to our policy will be published on our website: http://www.enum.nl/en/dnssec/dnssec-status-for-13e164arpa.html An SSL secured version of that site will be available soon. We will also announce to the RIPE dns and enum wg mailing lists when we consider our trust anchors to be ready for production use. We hope this contribution will help the adoption of DNSSEC to secure the DNS.

RIPE NCC and ICANN Commit to Ongoing DNS Root Name Service Coordination
by Paul Rendek 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, Dr. Paul Twomey, CEO of ICANN, has posted an open letter to Axel Pawlik, Managing Director of the RIPE NCC, noting ICANN's appreciation of the role RIPE NCC plays as operator of k.root-servers.net, or simply K-root, one of the 13 Internet root name servers. The letter was sent in response to letters sent by the RIPE NCC, Autonomica, operator of I-root, and WIDE Project, operator of M-root, to ICANN in May 2009. The letter notes that both ICANN and the RIPE NCC acknowledge "that a single, unique DNS root is paramount to the stable operations of the Internet and to ensure global interoperability", and that "close ICANN coordination with the root-server operators provides a foundation for a secure, stable and resilient DNS." ICANN and the RIPE NCC have jointly committed to "coordinating their respective activities regarding the DNS root name service with each other and third parties". This includes "exchanging and maintaining the necessary operational and administrative contact information, notifying each other without undue delay of any (pending) operational changes or any (pending) changes in their respective activities". You can view the full text of the letter from ICANN to the RIPE NCC at: http://ripe.net/news/icann-kroot-reply.pdf The text of the May 2009 letter from the RIPE NCC to ICANN can be found here: http://ripe.net/news/root-server-statement-to-icann.html More information about RIPE NCC's operation of K-root is available at: http://k.root-servers.org/ Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC

Change of K-Root Instance in Frankfurt to a Global Node
by Wolfgang Nagele 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC (AS25152) upgraded the k.root-servers.net instance in Frankfurt, Germany to a global node on 18 June 2009. This means that we are now announcing the prefix without the BGP no- export attribute. If you have been operating a peering session with us at DE-CIX, you will now see the prefix 193.0.14.0/23 instead of 193.0.14.0/24. Please adjust your filters if necessary. Anybody interested in peering with us can either use the DE-CIX route servers or contact <k-peerings(a)ripe.net> to set up a separate peering session. We also invite anybody who is willing to provide us with transit for this instance to contact us at <k-peerings(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Wolfgang Nagele DNS System Engineer, RIPE NCC

.my DNSSEC testing included in IANA DNSSEC testbed
by Richard Lamb 23 May '09

23 May '09

In cooperation with and at the request of the .my domain registry, the .my DNSSEC testbed has been incorporated into the IANA signed root testbed https://ns.iana.org/dnssec/status.html to facilitate testing. For those using the IANA testbed: "dig +dnssec -t soa my" should return a validated result. For those that are not: "dig +dnssec -t soa my @66.165.162.24" should return a validated result. I understand the test .my DNSSEC zone is not fully populated. If you have any problems or questions, please let me know. Rick Lamb DNSSEC Program Manager IANA PS: Thanks to Ondrej Sury/.CZ for the "dnssec indicator"! https://ns.iana.org/dnssec/diagram.html
