The Japanese government requirement that all businesses be fully ipv6 compliant before 2005 is certainly going to have a major impact on vendor ipv6 implementations, from the core to the desktop So while you may not get 30Mpps on your backbone router, you're probably not going to be stuck with a white elephant rate-limited to 200Kpps either. One day, you may even be able to run an ipv6-only desktop from vendor M, who knows? >From one perspective (and not necessarily the best, or even a remotely accurate one), all it's going to take is for Microsoft and a bunch of NAS & ADSL equipment vendors to implement stable ipv6 edge connectivity and to prefer AAAA over A records. Once this happens, there will be demand from customers by default, and this may create enough of a business case to justify more infrastructural spending on ipv6. This would help those providers who have a partial ipv6 deployment in their core, and may bootstrap the uptake process for those who haven't bothered looking at it yet. I'm a bit more optimistic about its take-up these days, mainly because support from the desktop and the network edge is going to be the main driving factor, and because this is probably going to become much more widespread from now on.

Thanks to all who responded, below is what I've compiled so far (vendors/service providers): Hurricane Electric - http://www.he.net/ Maxis (IPv6 for 3G) - www.maxis.com Equinix (IPv6 exchange for Hurricane & Japan Telecom) - www.equinix.com BTExact (http://www.uk6x.com) NEC (IPv6 video content distribution system with China Netcom, Asia Netcom Japan, and Sky Perfect) 6Wind (IPv6 in China w/ BII Group) Internet Initiative Japan Inc (IIJ) - IPv6 Gateway Service Global Crossing (announce beta plans last year, haven't been able to find anything further) Also, ISS just released an IDS/IPS for IPv6 (the first one I believe?) Thanks for the feedback, Irwin

I don't know about timeframe, but I certainly don't see it soon. > Is IPv6 better than IPv4? Yes. I'm not sure that is widely agreed on. Specifically, I am not sure there are many features of v6 that are wanted and haven't been ported back to v4. > Enough for it to motivate everybody to switch? Debateable. Some of the new features in ipv6 have already been tried in other protocols... protocols that ipv4 has already replaced in the market. They won't be the adoption drivers people seem to think they are. v4 may not be as efficient as v6, but it is efficient enough, and until it cannot handle the apps the mainstream users need, the mainstream won't use it. Fortunately, unlike VHS vs Betamax, you can quietly include support for both in a single device with no or little excess cost, and, like cassettes vs CDs, you will be able to have one mass market for the good enough right now, and one smaller market for the -philes, and slowly shift from one to the other. First, though, you have to make ipv6 perform. ipv4 has been worked on by some very competent people for a long time; to pull out yet another comparison, like rotary vs piston engines, even if ipv6 is theoretically better than v4, the implementation and support have to catch up before the wide deployment can really get started. -Dave

I have a feeling that IPv6 will creep in through non-obvious channel, such as Microsoft's threedegrees software. It appears to be targeted at the same teenage market that helped make P2P and IM technology explode. Kris

Interesting. Anyone know when this changed?

Back on topic... For those who mentioned Verio I found http://info.us.bb.verio.net/routing.html#PeerFilter which I forgot exists. Looks like they've changed it to a /22 for everything in Class A and B space. IMPORTANT:The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.

Ettiquette and rules regarding Hijacked ASN's or IP space?
by Christopher L. Morrow 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

So, with all this lifting the curtains on hijacked ASN's and ipblocks recently I have a few general question... 1) Should the rules be uniformly applied? 2) Should these rules be applied even when something 'bad' might happen? 3) How much involvment should ARIN have in enforcing these rules? Now, by 'rules' I mean: If you steal something you have to give it back, regardless of who you are. So, for an example, if I steal ASN 8143 (already stolen so its mute) and I'm 'a good guy', all I want to do is run a network no spam/abuse eminates from it, should I be subject to the 'witch hunt' that my fellow ASN stealer who does abuse/spam deals with? The same is asked for hijacked ip space. If I steal/hijack a large netblock, not from an active org so there is no 'damage' done, and I don't spam/abuse from it should I be compelled to return it also? Compelled in the same way that my brother stealer who spams/abuses is? I am not advocating one or the other, and to me the rules should apply to both groups (all theives treated equally)... I'm just curious as to the general thought on this subject. Additionally, how should ARIN go about verifying proper 'ownership' (that I am still me after all these years of 'inactivity'), how much is enough research on these issues? I know that at the ISP there is a measure of trust placed on the customer, and upstream/downstream, when it comes to ASN's and ip announcements. ARIN is in the same position as near as I can tell. They have to trust that the community both is trustworthy (to an extent) and conscientious. If there are bad actors out there that go to enough trouble they can make ASN's or ip blocks appear to be registered to themselves. There may be breadcrumbs of evidence if you look hard enough, perhaps there won't be. How hard should ARIN be looking at these issues and at specific instances? Should they apply their rules without prejudice? Sorry for the latenight not-completely-operational question :) but it seems as though there is some abmiguity in the current process/procedure/rules and I'd like to atleast start some discussion on the topic.

netrange->cidr script - too many replies... thank you all
by william＠elan.net 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

I received way too many replies on this request. I really appreciate everybody who did reply, but please no more I found what I'm looking for in duplicates and triplicates.... For those others also interested here is what I was pointed to (sorted by number of pointers - almost 10 for aggis and 2-5 for others): 1. aggis - http://www.utdallas.edu/~pconnally/aggis 2. Net::CIDR::range2cidr(), Net::CIDR::Lite - http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-IP/ 3. sipcalc - http://www.routemeister.net/ 4. http://perlmonks.thepen.com/79663.html Also several people have sent me their own perl scripts that that can be adapted to do what I wanted as well (if I needed it, which does not seem necessary given number of alternatives). Thanks you for those as well. Nanog community is really very helpfull. Please keep it up! ------- William Leibzon Elan Communications Inc. william(a)elan.net
