New document available: RIPE-501 Requirements For IPv6 in ICT Equipment
by Marco Hogewoning 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Dear community, A new ripe document, RIPE-501, has been published "Requirements For IPv6 in ICT Equipment". This document aims to be a guide of what to ask for exactly when IPv6 is a requirement in a tender or some contract and lists the various applicable RFCs for specific kinds of ICT equipment. The document is available on http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-501.html Please note that when using this document as a reference, as with any RIPE document, it might get superseded by new versions in the future. Many thanks to the authors and everybody who helped with proof reading, translation and feedback. Marco, David & Shane, co-chairs of the IPv6 working group

PGP Key-Signing Party at RIPE 61
by Anand Buddhdev 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, During RIPE 61, A PGP Key-Signing Party will be held on Tuesday 16 November, at 18:00. We encourage you to come along if you're interested in building your web of trust. The signing process will happen as follows: 1. Before the party, you'll need to add your PGP public key to this keyring: http://biglumber.com/x/web?keyring=9837 The deadline for adding an entry to the keyring is Tuesday 16 November at 12:00. 2. At the party, you'll be provided with a printed copy of the keyring. You'll need to verify that your public key is listed correctly on it. 3. Each person present will read out the fingerprint of their own public key for everyone else to verify. Please bring an independent copy of your key fingerprint (eg. your business card) to read from. As each fingerprint is read out, you can mark your copy with a check mark. 4. Next, each person will confirm their identity by showing a legal document (such as a passport or a driver's licence) to the other participants. After you're satisfied with the identity of a participant, you can mark your copy with a second check mark. 5. At the end of the party, each participant will have a printed sheet on which they will have placed check marks to confirm public key fingerprints and identities. When you get home, you can download the keyring and sign each key that you have checked. After that you should send each signed key to the owner of the key, and perhaps upload it to a keyserver. Regards, Anand Buddhdev DNS Services Manager, RIPE NCC

Interesting Graphs on RIPE Labs: IPv4 Concentration or Diffusion
by Mirjam Kuehne 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Dear colleagues, It is often claimed that the ISP industry is concentrated and the bulk of the address space is in the hands of a small number of organisations. Is this really the case and what does that mean for the composition of the whole industry? Is it open for new businesses or controlled by a few? See an interesting study on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/tvest/interesting-graphs-concentration-diffusi… Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
