From noreply at ripe.net Fri Jun 1 16:42:41 2012 From: noreply at ripe.net (Axel Pawlik) Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:42:41 +0200 Subject: [ncc-announce] 2012 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey - Open Now Until 30 June Message-ID: <4FC8D4E1.20505@ripe.net> [Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The Number Resource Organization (NRO), on behalf of all the Regional Internet Registries, invites you to participate in the 3rd consecutive Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey on the current and future use of IPv6. The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure that the Internet community is ready and moving toward widespread adoption of IPv6. As it is mostly the same as the survey carried out globally in 2010 and 2011, comparison of progress will be possible. The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of our community to participate: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2012 The survey will be open for a month and will close on 30 June 2012. We anticipate a good response rate as 94% of last year's over 1600 respondents from around the globe indicated that they were interested in participating again. We encourage all organisations to participate in order for the results to establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey is composed of 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. For those interested, the results of last year's survey are available: http://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/ipv6_deployment_survey.pdf. Results of this year's survey will be presented and discussed widely. Please provide your name and contact information on the survey form if you wish to receive the draft survey analysis when available. Please also indicate whether you are willing to share additional data with the TNO and GNKS Consult IPv6 Deployment Monitoring team. We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to info at gnksconsult.com.

As of 10:45 UTC on Thursday, 14 June 2012, all reverse DNS zones we publish and that are not on the list below are correct and reflect the state of 13:30 UTC yesterday, 13 June. If you continue to see problems after this time, please contactdns-help at ripe.net with details of what responses you are getting. Please consider (negative) caching TTLs and restart your caching servers if possible. We've posted this update online at: https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/announcements/update-14-june-11-22-utc-reverse-dns-services-outage =============== Outage Details =============== We know that some zones not mentioned in the list of the previous update (20:45 UTC, 13 June) were not correctly propagated to some authoritative servers after the roll-back last night. We do not know the extent of this at the present time. However we are sure that as of 10:45 UTC today all authoritative servers answer correctly with the state of 13:30 UTC 13 June for all zones but the few on the list in the previous update. We are working hard to restore the zones listed. We are busy adding all the updates since 13:30 UTC 13 June to all zones. We will report on how this work is progressing. The zones known to be still affected are: 0.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 185.in-addr.arpa 4.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 5.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 6.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 7.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 7.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 7.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa a.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa a.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa a.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa b.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa b.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa b.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa We will publish a full report once we've restored all the zones and have had sufficient time to fully analyse what went wrong.

So all zones we maintain are now available and zones in the list are no longer special. There may be a very few ERX zones maintained by other RIRs that are still not fully restored. The update has been posted online at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/service-announcements/reverse-dns-services-issues All updates since 13:30 UTC yesterday are still pending and are not reflected in the zones. However, no updates were lost. Any updates you will submit or you have already submitted will eventually be reflected in the zones once we complete our restoration procedure. ============= Next actions ============= We will now create up-to-date zones that include all the updates since yesterday 13:30 UTC. We will also recreate all ERX zones with current data. We expect to complete this by this evening. Once that is complete, we will re-enable regular provisioning and everything will be back to normal. If you experience any abnormal responses beyond the residual inconsistencies described here, please let us know atdns-help at ripe.net with as much detail as possible.

The service has come a long way, from a prototype developed in 2006 to a full production service in collaboration with the other Regional Internet Registries, aimed at making the RIR Registries more robust and BGP routing more secure. Resource Certification offers LIRs validatable proof of holdership. In addition, it allows LIRs to make cryptographically verifiable statements about which Autonomous Systems are authorised to originate the IP prefixes they hold. The toolset developed by the RIPE NCC to validate and use this data has been downloaded hundreds of times in the last months and is actively used by many organisations to make better BGP routing decisions.

The royal honour was bestowed by the Mayor of Heumen at a symposium for Kees's outstanding contribution to Dutch society. During his tenure as Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board, Kees ensured the strong involvement of Europe in the administration of the Internet worldwide and the Netherlands?s continued position as a centre of excellence for the Internet industry. He oversaw the administration of the Internet in over 100 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. It was during his tenure on the RIPE NCC Board that Africa was able to establish its own RIR to be become one of the five organisations managing Internet number resources in the world today. Kees has always ensured that the Netherlands was involved in the task forces that drove the development of the Internet globally. He led the involvement of SURFnet and other Dutch technology companies in sharing best practices and experiences with similar organisations around the world. He has always been a strong advocate for the principles of open, inclusive and bottom-up industry self-regulation. It is these very principles that still guide RIPE, the RIPE NCC, TERENA and others that contribute to the successful management of the Internet globally. Kees Neggers is one of the most influential figures in the Internet community. He was instrumental in shaping the model that is currently used to manage the global IP address system. We ask that you join us in congratulating Kees on receiving this very special honour.
