Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the IPv6 address range 2001:1A00::/23 from the IANA in January 2004. You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly. More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC can be found on our web site at: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/smallest-alloc-sizes.html> Regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

There are currently quite some ISP's who filter anything >/35. Generally ISP's should be filtering on allocation boundaries. Thus if a certain prefix is allocated as a /32, they should not be accepting anything smaller (/33, /34 etc) Checking http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/tla/all/ 8<------------ The database currently holds 630 IPv6 TLA's. Of which 18 (2.86%) are returned to the pool, 202 (32.06%) IPv6 TLA's didn't have a routing entry. Thus 410 (65.08%) networks are currently announced. 0 (0.00%) only announced a /35 while they have been assigned a /32. 13 (2.06%) announce both their /32 and their /35. - ------------>8 I have to add that there is an error here as 2001:dc0::/35 is in the tables, but doesn't get picked up by the software, will be fixing that soonish. Generally if you announce a /35 it will get through to most ISP's. But we should be avoiding that. Currently the ipv6 global routing table is quite small, but it could grow quite large and when ISP's still don't filter correctly, or better if ISP's don't aggregate it will explode and we will be needing the follow up to BGP soon, which is more work for the IETF :) As for which smoked filled room, this should be a task of the RIRs, thus RIPE's IPv6 WG etc. but it usually takes place when communicating between ISP's. Notice that many ISP's use Gerts list: http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.html I would applaud a generic /32 that is 'allowed' to being cut up into multiple /48's for the purpose of critical infrastructure. But please, keep it to 1 *documented* /32. That way people will know that they will see more specifics from that prefix and that they should be accepting it too. Currently the !3! IX blocks (2001:7f8::/32 + 2001:504::/32 + 2001:7fa::/32) are seen being announced in pieces too. Maybe these IX blocks, which are common already could be used for assigning 'critical infra' from? This is a RIR thing and should be discussed there (ipv6-wg cc'd). The IETF though should ofcourse advise in all matters.

hi!I am working in a mobile ip6 testbed and i hope you can tell me of a software better than ethereal which can print the binding updates and caches.also if this software has a plotting tool for the desired outputs,it would be perfect.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi, At 2003-11-24 RIPE allocated 2001:1700::/27. ISP's doing IPv6 prefixlenght filtering should watch out that they are not filtering out the above prefix It is visible in most parts of the world, check: http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/lg/?find=2001:1700::/27 But it is also quite easy to see from that list that many ISP's do filter, somewhat fortunatly, but they do have to update their prefix filters ;) Easiest way to avoid problems is to regulary check: http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.html Even Gert's 'strict' filters allows the above prefix as it is based on the RIR's policies. A 'golden IPv6 network' page will be created to be able to lookup these prefixes without much problems Greets, Jeroen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Unfix PGP for Outlook Alpha 13 Int.

[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] IPv6 connectivity in Iran
by Henk Uijterwaal (RIPE-NCC) 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

Dear All, At the RIPE NCC regional meeting earlier this week, one of the participants asked me about IPv6 connectivity between a local network there and the rest of the world. I had no idea, but promised to post the question here. So: Is there anybody on this list who offers IPv6 connectivity in Iran _today_? Please reply privately, I'll forward the responses and summarize if there is interest.
