The RIPE NCC has operated one of the 13 DNS root servers - k.root-servers.net nameserver since 1997. To improve the regional distribution, resiliency and performance of the root name service provided by the k.root-server, the RIPE NCC have begun an effort to deploy mirror instances of the K-root service throughout its service region using anycast routing. Abstract: The presentation starts with an overview of the root server system and then describes the k.root-servers.net server in more detail. It will focus specifically on the deployment of mirror instances of the server, its current status and future plans.

Abstract:This presentation will be a report on the services requested by RIPE NCC Members in the Middle East region and a break down of the Internet number resources that have been allocated to them.

Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview and detailed statistics of IPv6 allocations in the RIPE NCC service region and specifically the Middle East.

Abstract: In this presentation, Geoff Huston presents the latest results of research and analysis concerning usage of the IPv4 address space within the Internet. Using the history of allocation by the IANA to RIRs and by the RIRs to ISPs, and of address announcements by ISPs into the global routing tables, it is possible to determine projected dates when all available address space will be consumed. These projections indicate a long life for remaining IPv4 address reserves, however it is noted that no attempt is made to predict environmental or technological changes that may alter future consumption rates. This presentation will be made on Geoff Huston's behalf by Paul Wilson, Director General of APNIC.

Abstract: This presentation is an introduction to how routing in the Internet works. It introduces some of the terminologies used, gives an explanation of how devices on the Internet communicate, and describes the constituent parts of the network infrastructure between these devices. The presentation looks at the routing design and operation of individual ISP networks, and how those interconnect to create what we know as the Internet today.

Abstract: This presentation is an introduction to how inter-provider interconnection happens in the Internet, with a particular focus on the history of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), and an overview of their current status. Models for inter-provider traffic exchange, including peering and transit, are explained. Appropriate technologies and architectures are described, and the various governance and commercial models reviewed.

Abstract: This presentation gives a detailed overview of RIPE NCC activities including membership services, co-ordination activities and information services.

Abstract: The RIPE NCC is an independent and not-for-profit membership organisation that supports about 3,400 members in more than 90 countries. This presentation describes how the activities and services of the RIPE NCC are defined, discussed, evaluated and performed in an open manner.

Abstract:RIPE stands for 'Réseaux IP Européens', or European IP Networks. Started in 1989, RIPE is a forum where Internet Service Providers and others interested in the advancement of the Internet meet to discuss and work on problems common to all. In this session we will present a short history of RIPE, we will describe how RIPE is organised, and discuss some of the current work in progress.

Abstract: For the Internet to function properly, a set of resources needs to be managed in a co-ordinated way. These resources include Internet Protocol addresses, Autonomous System Numbers, Domain Name System parameters, and Internet Standards. These resources have been traditionally managed by a number of organisations. In this presentation we will introduce these organisations and the way they are organised. It will be demonstrated that they have all been organised along the same lines: by a bottom up and open process of industry self-regulation.
