A typical Viennese evening awaits at one of the city's small and intimate "Heuriger" or wine taverns. Guests travel aboard old-timer streetcars with music, wine and pretzels. The fun really starts when you arrive: enormous plates with local specialities and wine are served and music is performed by an original Viennese Schrammel orchestra. The evening literally flies by with food, drink, singing and - perhaps - even dancing.

* RPSL Course
Tuesday, 4 May 11.00 until 17.00
The RIPE NCC will organise an in-depth tutorial on the new Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL). The tutorial is free and open to all RIPE Meeting attendees. Advance registration is required. Use the RIPE Meeting registration page to register for this tutorial.

The tutorial will provide an introduction to RPSL, explaining how to register and query routing policy objects. RPSL is gradually being deployed in the Internet Routing Registry (IRR). It will replace RIPE-181, the current IRR routing policy specification language. RPSL provides substantial extensions to RIPE-181, making it possible to specify a much richer set of routing policies.

Please also see RIPE #32 RPSL Course. Note- the slides and course content have changed for the RIPE 33 course.

Attendees should understand basic BGP operations, but need not be familiar with the IRR.

* The IPv6 tutorial
Tuesday, 4 May 10.00 - 17.00
IPv6, the next generation IP protocol, is designed to improve scalability, security, ease-of-configuration, and network management. The tutorial will give a brief overview of IPv6 protocol including address architecture, autoconfiguration and management (DNS, routing). We will also discuss the transition mechanisms which have been designed to ease the upgrade to IPv6.

An overview of the configuration for routers and workstations with examples will be given: Cisco, FreeBSD, Sun, Windows NT, as well as the Merit MRTd.

The tutorial will go over the different steps required to get connected on the 6BONE, including address configuration, routing and the 6BONE registry. The tunnel server is a service that provides a simple way to get connected to the 6BONE. The architecture of the server and examples will also be presented.

A description of the 6REN initiative, an IPv6 transit service, and the 6TAP project, a service for interconnecting early IPv6 networks, will be presented.

This tutorial is not focused on the theory behind the protocol but more on the practical considerations for using and deploying IPv6, so the intended audience is tcp/ip engineers, architects and network admins that want to understand IPv6 and to be able to deploy it.

The tutorial will be presented by Marc Blanchet and Florent Parent, both at Viaginie inc., a consulting firm working on network architectures, security and internationalization. Viaginie inc. is responsible with Dalhousie University for the deployment of IPv6 in Canada. Viaginie 6bone site has been on the 6bone for more than 2 years now, it is one of the backbone sites and maintains IPv6 links with many international organisations; it also runs the mirror of the 6bone whois server, the IPv6 mirror of the www.6bone.net and www.6ren.net sites. Viaginie also designed a tunnel server implementation available at:

http://www.freenet6.net.

Marc Blanchet wrote a internet-draft on a flexible method for IPv6 address assignments, soon to be published as an informational RFC and is the author of the concept of the 6tap exchange.

* The EOF Tutorial
Tuesday, 4 May 10.00 - 17.00
Agenda will be announced later on this page.

* Getting a Visa
Getting a visa generally takes more time then one expects, we would therefore like to suggest you apply for a visa as fast as possible.

On request, we can send you an invitation. If you want us to send an invitation, please tell us how many days and which days you are planning to stay. Furthermore, please also give us your full name, birth date and passport number. If we mention these data in our invitation to you, it could facilitate getting the visa.
