Desiree Miloshevic, of the Oxford Internet Institute, then gave an introduction to the results of the recent RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey The Plenary continued with a detailed presentation by Emile Aben, RIPE NCC, on “World IPv6 Day - What Did We Learn?”. The presentation showed statistics from the day itself and concluded that it was a positive experience. Brian Nisbet, HEAnet, with the first technical presentation of the week, had the attendees laughing out loud at his amusing account of HEAnet’s experience with “Cisco CRS-1 & IOS-XR”. The second Plenary session began with an emotive speech from Daniel Karrenberg, Chief Scientist RIPE NCC, entitled "Almost 20 Years of RIPE NCC: A Personal View on Current Challenges". It was followed by a high-level panel discussion on resource certification (RPKI). The discussion saw lengthy debate on the technical and potential regulatory issues surrounding certification. RPKI Workshop Earlier in the day, a RPKI workshop was held. Around 80 people participated in the event, during which they had the chance to make use all of the available open source tools and configure routers to base routing decisions on RPKI data. BoF: RIPEstat Demo The RIPEstat demo took place during Monday’s BoF session. The demo gave an overview of the purpose of RIPEstat, explained some features related to the application’s views, mentioned the new iPhone/iPad version that was released yesterday and outlined upcoming features. More information about RIPEstat and the demos can be found online at: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kistel/ripestat Database Tricks and Tips Around 35 people attended the "Database Tricks and Tips" session, run by the RIPE NCC, on Monday morning. The session introduced attendees to the most important objects in the RIPE Database, showed simple ways to get precise information and explained the best methods for updating the database. There was also some discussion of geolocation. Abuse Contact Management Task Force The Abuse Contact Management Task Force held their fourth meeting on Monday morning. The goal of the task force is to propose a solution for abuse contact provision by members. The task force will report back to the Anti Abuse Working Group on Tuesday afternoon.

New mailing list hardware and software at the RIPE NCC
by Mihnea-Costin Grigore 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is in the process of updating its mailing list hardware and software. This will allow us to implement new features on the mailing lists, such as a complex search functionality throughout the archives. The new servers are currently undergoing testing and will be put into production today -- 13 October, 2011. You do not need to take any action and all subscriptions and settings will be copied over to the new system. However, we would like to inform you that, after implementation, the mailing list archives will have a slightly different look and you will need to update any direct links to messages in the archives. A description of all RIPE and RIPE NCC mailing lists can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact us at webmaster(a)ripe.net if you encounter any issues following the implementation. Regards, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Services Team Leader - http://www.ripe.net/

128.0.0.0/16 configured as martian: Please update your routers
by Ingrid Wijte 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is aware that 128.0.0.0/16 is configured as a martian by default in (some) Juniper OS, even though RFC 5735 and RFC3330 outline that this /16 should no longer be reserved as specialised address space. We are exchanging the allocations that were already issued and for now we will (temporarily) stop using this specific /16. The RIPE NCC is working on this matter. For now, we urge everyone to change the default behaviour of their Juniper routers: set routing-options martians 128.0.0.0/16 orlonger allow set routing-options martians 191.255.0.0/16 orlonger allow set routing-options martians 223.255.255.0/24 exact allow Best regards, Ingrid Wijte Registration Services Assistant Manager RIPE NCC

Resource Certification/RPKI Workshop at RIPE 63
by Alex Band 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

RIPE 63 attendees interested in Resource Certification/RPKI are encouraged to take part in a workshop on Monday, 31 October from 9:30-12:30 in the Park Congress 2+3 rooms. ===================== What you'll learn ===================== The workshop will focus on BGP Origin Validation, based on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). You will learn how RPKI enables network operators to make more reliable routing decisions and how it protects against accidental mis-origination, the most common routing error we see today. Using various open-source tools from rpki.net and the RIPE NCC, you will be able to set up a resource certificate and create Route Origin Authorisation (ROA) objects, stating which Autonomous Systems are authorised to originate the prefixes you hold. After publishing your ROAs, you can validate them and configure routers to set routing preferences based on the RPKI status of your prefixes. This workshop will be a collaboration between Rob Austein, Randy Bush, Michael Elkins, Benno Overeinder (NLNet Labs), Jac Kloots (SURFnet), Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks and the RIPE NCC. ========================= Participation Details ========================= You do not need to register for this workshop. There are no prerequisites for using the rpki.net tools. In order to generate a certificate and configure ROAs on the RIPE NCC pilot server, you'll need to have an LIR Portal user account with access to the certification system or know the administrator credentials for your LIR Portal account. More information: http://ripe.net/certification/enable.html If you don't have an LIR Portal account or the necessary administrator credentials, you can still participate. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna! Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
