Introducing the IPv6 Analyser
by Alex Band 20 May '14

20 May '14

Dear colleagues, At RIPE 68 in Warsaw we were proud to introduce the IPv6 Analyser, a toolset that offers our members a visual insight into all the allocations, aggregations and assignments they have made. This is the first toolset that seamlessly integrates with the RIPE Database, allowing you to create new objects with an easy-to-use wizard that guides you through the process, searching for available space, and pre-filling known information. Our goal is to unify resource management in the LIR Portal by extending these design principles to organisation, routing and Reverse DNS management. Now that the core design is available, we very much look forward to your feedback on how we can make the IPv4 and IPv6 Analyser as useful as possible. Please visit the LIR Portal and try out object creation using the IPv6 Analyser: https://www.ripe.net/s/qJhE Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

RPKI Validator over IPv6
by Denis Fondras - Liopen 10 May '14

10 May '14

Hello all, (First of all, sorry if I am not posting on the right mailing-list) I'm trying to connect to the testbed RPKI validators listed in [1] from an IPv6-only router but can't get to it. It seems the one hosted by Kaia Global Networks has no IPv6 and the one hosted by RIPE NCC is IPv6-enabled but it seems ports 323 and 8282 are not responding. Is there any testbed RPKI validator IPv6-reachable ? Thank you in advance.

2012-07's direct engagement option
by Tore Anderson 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

First of all I'd like to congratulate the proposal authors and the WG for having finally brought the legacy space out of the "legal vacuum" it was residing in. Well done! The agenda for May's General Meeting was recently published[1] and as expected one of the points is about 2012-07's implementation plan[2]. Keeping in line with section 2.4 of the proposal[3], the plan proposes to implement a new [non-]membership class where I assume the [non-]member in question will only receive services relating to their legacy resources, but not the rest of the services normally offered to RIPE NCC members / LIRs. I do get a strong sense of déjà vu here - isn't this pretty much exactly the same membership class as the Direct Assignment User ("DAU") that was first introduced by proposal 2007-01 and subsequently scrapped by the General Meeting in September 2012[4]? Is there any conceivable scenario were a legacy holder would prefer to become a DAU over becoming a full member? I cannot think of one - as I understand it, a full member would be provided with all the services a DAU would (and more), at a lower cost[5]. Why would anyone want to pay more for less? I believe we made the right choice in scrapping the original DAU membership class. We now have a extremely simple and easy to understand membership structure, and a predictable charging scheme. Therefore I currently have a problem with voting for the Board's proposed implementation plan as I see it as a regression. That said, I am open to be persuaded why we do need another "DAU" membership class for legacy holders. So if anyone know of a compelling rationale for section 2.4, please help me out here...

Charges for legacy holders
by Nigel Titley 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

Dear colleagues, I'd like to provide some background on the Executive Board's decision to propose the provisions regarding charges for legacy holders in the 2015 Charging Scheme. The board discussed these at length and wanted to achieve a balance between meeting the needs of legacy holders and meeting the needs of RIPE NCC members, who the board is tasked with representing. First of all, the four options in the Charging Scheme regarding legacy space correspond directly to the four options (sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4) in Policy Proposal 2012-07: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-07 Option 2.4, according to the proposal, is for those legacy holders who meet the criteria to engage with a sponsoring LIR "but cannot find a Sponsoring LIR with which a mutually satisfactory contract of the kind mentioned in that section". The board sees this option as being for legacy holders who are*unable* to find a sponsoring LIR rather than those who*do not want* to find a sponsoring LIR. The fourth option in the Charging Scheme addresses this need to provide a direct contract for those who cannot find a sponsoring LIR with which to engage. For the RIPE NCC to provide this option, a new category of service provision will have to be established. Aside from the legal and administrative work involved, the RIPE NCC's support, operating and business systems will need to be updated. The board feels that membership should not fully subsidise the cost of this work but that the costs should mainly rest with those for whom the service is being provided. The work involved in bringing legacy holders into the membership requires little work on the RIPE NCC's part by comparison, hence the waiving of the sign-up fee. The board is also keen to keep the Charging Scheme in line with the "one-LIR, one fee" principle accepted by the membership in 2012. By charging the same fee for LIRs and those legacy holders who would like to have a direct contract with the RIPE NCC, the board believes that this does not put the RIPE NCC in a position where it is competing with its members. In 2011, when the RIPE NCC previously charged Direct Assignment Users (DAUs) who wished to have a contract directly with the RIPE NCC rather than a sponsoring LIR, the DAUs were charged the same sign-up fee as members as well as an annual fee of 1,300 euros (the same as an Extra Small LIR at the time). We believe the proposed Charging Scheme 2015 follows this precedent. The board will set aside as much time as is necessary at the upcoming General Meeting to discuss the issue of charging for services to legacy holders. If the membership feels the Charging Scheme 2015 is not acceptable and decides to vote against it, the board will discuss the issue over the Summer and present a new Charging Scheme 2015 at the Autumn GM in London. The 1,600 euro fee for LIRs proposed in the Charging Scheme would remain the same, so members can still budget for the year ahead. On a separate note, the proposed implementation plan for the RIPE Policy "RIPE NCC Services to Legacy Internet resource Holders" deals with the contractual changes necessary for the RIPE NCC to implement new processes and is independent of charging issues. I hope this helps you to understand the board's thinking in proposing the charging scheme. We will continue to follow discussions on the mailing list and look forward to hearing your views at the RIPE NCC Service Working Group and the RIPE NCC General Meeting on 14 May. If you would like to contact the board directly, you can email us at <exec-board(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Nigel Titley RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman

RPKI Certification for PI End Users pre-production launch
by Alex Band 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Hello everyone, We are getting close to the production launch of Resource Certification (RPKI) for Provider Independent End User space. Last week, we started testing with a small number of users to see if the system was behaving as desired. This was a success, and the first certificates and ROAs for PI space have been published using the production system. As there are quite some corner cases with PI space, we’d like to open up the testing group a bit more, so we can make sure we iron out any quirks before we go live. If you’d like to request a certificate and create ROAs for your PI End User address space, please contact me and we’ll guide you through the process. At the moment, you’ll have to take some manual steps. When we launch we’ll have an easy to use wizard available to help you. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
