Participate Now: RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey
by Axel Pawlik 19 May '11

19 May '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, You still have time to take part in the RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011. The survey can be taken at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2011 ================== Important Feedback ================== This survey comes at a critical point as it will influence the strategy of the RIPE NCC following the depletion of the IPv4 address pool. The analysis of the survey results will be conducted by the Oxford Internet Institute, and all identifying information will be removed before the data is given to the RIPE NCC. For the first time, the survey is open to all stakeholders in the RIPE community in addition to RIPE NCC members. So far, over 300 people have responded to the survey. We aim to receive 1,000 responses by the survey closing date of 10 June. The survey should take only 10-15 minutes to complete. =========== Win an iPad =========== To encourage participation in the survey, the RIPE NCC is giving away five iPads to respondents chosen at random by the OII. Next week, we will announce the "early bird" winner of the first iPad, who will be drawn from those who responded to the survey by 16 May. The other four iPads will be drawn at random from all respondents. We look forward to receiving your input. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

max len in roas
by Randy Bush 10 May '11

10 May '11

re alex's preso on how the ripe/ncc roa generation gui works, with help from geoff, the latest version of draft-ietf-sidr-origin-ops gives more detailed advice on the subject. Use of RPKI-based origin validation obviates the utility of announcing many longer prefixes when the covering prefix would do. To aid translation of ROAs into efficient search algorithms in routers, ROAs SHOULD be as precise as possible, i.e. match prefixes as announced in BGP. E.g. software and operators SHOULD avoid use of excessive max length values in ROAs unless operationally necessary. Therefore, ROA generation software MUST use the prefix length as the max length if the user does not specify a max length. Operators SHOULD be conservative in use of max length in ROAs. E.g., if a prefix will have only a few sub-prefixes announced, multiple ROAs for the specific announcements SHOULD be used as opposed to one ROA with a long max length. the third para specifically addresses the issue alex raised, thanks alex. randy
