dynamic or static IPv6 prefixes to residential customers
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi all, I will like to know, from those deploying IPv6 services to residential customers, if you are planning to provide static or dynamic IPv6 prefixes. Just to be clear, I'm for static prefix delegation to residential customers, however I heard that some ISPs are doing dynamic delegations, the same way as is common today with IPv4. I don't thin it make sense, as the main reason for doing so in IPv4 was address exhaustion and legacy oversubscription models such as PPP/dial-up. Regards, Jordi PS: I've sent this question to NANOG, got very few answers, so trying here ... ********************************************** IPv4 is over Are you ready for the new Internet ? http://www.consulintel.es The IPv6 Company This electronic message contains information which may be privileged or confidential.

IPv6 Hackers mailing-list
by Fernando Gont 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Folks, We have created the "IPv6 Hackers" mailing-list for discussion of IPv6 security issues. The charter of the list is: ---- cut here ---- This list was created for the discussion of IPv6 security issues and low/packet-level issues related to the IPv6 protocols. It is meant to provide forum for IPv6 security researchers and IPv6 networking professionals to discuss low-level IPv6 networking and security issues that could eventually lead to advances and improvements in the area of IPv6 security and IPv6 networking. Discussion of unrelated networking or security topics are considered "off topic". Subscription to the list is open to the community. ---- cut here ---- You can subscribe to the mailing-list here: http://lists.si6networks.com/listinfo/ipv6hackers/ We have also created a mailing-list for spanish-speaking IPv6 hackers (ipv6hackers-es). You can subscribe to this list here: http://lists.si6networks.com/listinfo/ipv6hackers/ General information about our mailing-lists is available at: http://www.si6networks.com/community/mailing-lists.html Thanks! Best regards, -- Fernando Gont SI6 Networks e-mail: fgont(a)si6networks.com web: http://www.si6networks.com

Re: AW: [ipv6-wg] dynamic or static IPv6 prefixes to residential customers
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 27 Jul '11

However I think this is an educational problem of those agencies you can't offer dynamic and stable services to access the home, and privacy goes beyond a stable address. So miss-protecting privacy actually is against user services. Regarding the routing table, my guess is that you should aggregate all the customer prefixes, in a small number of prefixes for each BRAS, PoP, etc., so no difference here with IPv4.

RIPE-501 and IPSEC on CPEs
by Ahmed Abu-Abed 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hello All, Reading RIPE-501 spec for basic CPEs, I see that IPSEC & IKE are mandatory under "host" equipment. Is this a necessity ? Many IPv4 CPEs do not support IPSEC to keep the costs down. Regards, -Ahmed

not announcing IXP IPv6 peering lan prefixes in global BGP table possibly breaks PMTUD
by Christian Seitz 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hello, we had an IPv6 path MTU discovery issue last week and I would like to discuss possible solutions here. The problem is a combination of not announcing IXP IPv6 peering prefixes in the global BGP table and activating loose uRPF at the border of a network. I made the following traceroutes and pings after deactivating loose uRPF at the border. Before this I did not see any packet from the LINX peering lan address 2001:7f8:4::d1c:1, because it is not announced to the global BGP table and therefore not routable. The traceroute ended after 2001:450:2001:800e::2 before. chris@router> traceroute 2a01:e0c:1:1599::1 source 2001:x:x:x::2 traceroute6 to 2a01:e0c:1:1599::1 (2a01:e0c:1:1599::1) from 2001:x:x:x::2, 64 hops max, 12 byte packets [...] 2 2001:450:2001:800e::2 (2001:450:2001:800e::2) 0.793 ms 0.611 ms 0.604 ms 3 2001:7f8:4::d1c:1 (2001:7f8:4::d1c:1) 25.692 ms 227.307 ms 18.160 ms 4 2001:1900:5:2::12e (2001:1900:5:2::12e) 26.565 ms 26.310 ms 26.248 ms 5 2a01:e00:2:9::1 (2a01:e00:2:9::1) 26.746 ms 28.774 ms 40.343 ms [...] An ICMP echo request packet with more than 1410 bytes (1450 byte incl. header) shows that there is a smaller MTU between two routers in the backbone of Level3: PING www.free.fr(www.free.fr) 1403 data bytes >From 2001:7f8:4::d1c:1 icmp_seq=86 Packet too big: mtu=1450 1411 bytes from www.free.fr: icmp_seq=87 ttl=53 time=41.5 ms [...] 2001:7f8:4::d1c:1 seems to be a router of Level3 at LINX. The next router 2001:1900:5:2::12e also has an IP address from the Level3 IPv6 allocation. There seems to be an MTU of 1450 bytes between those two routers. The router at LINX sends out an ICMP "Packet too big" with the source address of the interface where he sees the route to the source address. This is the LINX peering lan, which is currently not announced in BGP. We use loose uRPF at the border to drop all packets from source addresses that are not globally routed. The ICMP "Packet too big" gets lost and path MTU discovery is broken. Communication with big packets is not possible. Some IXPs decided not to announce their peering lan prefixes for some reasons, but in combination with loose uRPF this leads to problems like this one. I would like to discuss the best current practise and possible solutions here. Possible solutions from my point of view: 1) Do not activate loose uRPF at the border of any network. 2) Any network where loose uRPF is configured at the border has to configure static routes for the IXP ranges of every RIR and redistribute them in the IGP so there is a valid route for loose uRPF checks. 3) IXPs announce their peering lan prefixes in the global BGP table and make loose uRPF work for the rest of the world. Members of the IXPs should possibly filter BGP announcements of the IXP peering lan prefixes from external peers when they do not use "next-hop-self" in iBGP within their network. 4) Remove tunnels, use native IPv6. There will always be links with an MTU lower than 1500 byte (access), so this is possibly not the best solution. 5) ? Regards from Berlin, Chris

Reminder: Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2011
by Paul Rendek 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, There's just one week left to complete the Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2011. Take part online now at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2011 This survey has been designed by GNKS Consult in collaboration with TNO and the RIPE NCC to further understand where the community stands on IPv6 and what needs be done to ensure that the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. Anyone can participate in this survey and we hope that the results will establish a comprehensive view of current IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey comprises 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments or who have not yet deployed IPv6, there will be fewer questions. The survey will close on 31 July 2011. We thank you for your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please email <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. For more information about the survey and links to previous year's survey results, please see: https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/industry-developments/globa… Regards, Paul Rendek RIPE NCC Head of External Relations and Communication
