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.

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.

ISP routing policies survey
by Sharon Goldberg 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hi all, Some of you may have seen the recent discussion on the NANOG list, about how research on interdomain routing could really benefit from a better understanding of current routing policies. But we researchers need help from you, the operators, to better understand routing policies. So, we created a short survey. Over 70 ops have already taken our survey, and we need your help to collect responses. The survey should take under 5 minutes to complete. Feel free to answer all of our questions, or just a few: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~phillipa/measurement/opsurvey/survey.php We'll keep the survey data anonymous, and use it to improve research on interdomain routing and security. We'll also post aggregated results to relevant mailing lists (here, NANOG, etc). Thanks to those who have already filled in our survey, and we look forward to your responses! Phillipa Gill (U of Toronto), Sharon Goldberg (Boston U) & Michael Schapira (Hebrew University)

[Apologies for duplicates] 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.

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
