[ipv6-wg] Draft Agenda (v1) for ipv6 wg RIPE51

Hi,

Please see below for the draft agenda (v1) of the ipv6 working group.

This is the first version of the agenda so we are still looking for
agenda topics and contributions for the various standard sections of
the agenda. Please let me know if there is anything that you would
like to discuss.

I would also like to draw your attention to the plenary part of the meeting
that has various interesting ipv6 presentations on the agenda (see below).

Interesting topics in the plenary section:

TUESDAY
09:00 - 10:30

6. IPv6 Routing Update.
   Gert Doering. Spacenet (20 min)

   Update on observations on the state of the IPv6 default free
   routing table.

7. IPv6 Multihoming Status.
   Kurtis Lindqvist. Netnod (30 min)

   An up-to-date status report on the progress towards scalable IPv6
   multihoming.

8. IPv6 Address Allocation
   --An Alternative Algorithm for the Sparse Allocation Process.
   Mae Wang (30 min)

   IP address allocation policies significantly impact the Internet
   infrastructure, affecting many parties such as router
   manufacturers, ISPs, and end users. An address allocation policy
   can also directly affect the performance of the Internet.

   For example, address fragmentation, a key problem in IPv4, degrades
   address lookup performance in routers. Thus, a well-designed
   address allocation policy needs to minimise fragmentation while
   using the address space efficiently.

   This paper attempts to quantify the performance of address
   allocation policies by modelling key features that lead to
   fragmentation and inefficient address space usage.

   Our main contributions are: (i) we identify a drawback of the
   current IPv6 address allocation policy, which treats all entities
   uniformly, (ii) we propose a scheme that takes future growth rate
   into account for allocations, and (iii) an analytical model for
   measuring the efficiency of allocation schemes, allowing us to
   quantify the improvement our proposal offers over the current
   scheme. We believe that a quantitative study of allocation policies
   is timely since IPv6 address allocation is just beginning in
   earnest.
