Colleagues of NLnog,
In 1999, Jeroen and I started SixXS, a project which aimed to provide
IPv6 connectivity to users who wanted to learn about the network
protocol and gain experience operating IPv6 networks. Our vision was
to facilitate migration to IPv6 in content and access providers.
We were able to provide IPv6 to 50’000+ individual users and companies
in 140+ countries, using servers hosted at 40+ Internet providers in
30+ countries. We are incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished
together, and how many people have gotten to know all about IPv6 due
to our combined efforts.
We have completed a retrospective and rationale document, which
details our experience developing and operating the SixXS tunnelbroker
over the last 18 years. We have worked through our plans with the many
dedicated ISPs that have been involved:
https://www.sixxs.net/sunset/
We have reached out to users recently, giving them 6 weeks to make
alternative plans. We have chosen a somewhat symbolic date of
2017-06-06 to turn down the SixXS service. Our website will remain as
a tombstone.
Please feel free to pass this along to any group or list you feel
would benefit from it, and reach out to <info(a)sixxs.net> or to myself
directly <pim(a)ipng.nl> if you have thoughts you’d like to share
between now and then.
Kindest Regards,
Pim van Pelt and Jeroen Massar (SixXS founders)

Dear colleagues,
Please note the approaching deadline of *12 March 2017* for RIPE 74
plenary programme submissions.
You can find the CFP for RIPE 74 below or at
https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/, for your proposals for
plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a
Feather sessions) and lightning talks.
Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or
funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings.
Kind regards,
Benno Overeinder
RIPE PC Chair

Call for Presentations
A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers,
network operators and other interested parties get together. Although
the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet
and network with others in their field.
RIPE 74 will take place from 8-12 May 2017 in Budapest, Hungary.
The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from
the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather
sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 74.
See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats,
https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/.
Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials
must be submitted for full consideration no later than 12 March 2017.
Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the
remaining available space in the programme.
The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network
engineering and operations, including but not limited to:
- IPv6 deployment
- Managing IPv4 scarcity
- Data centre technologies
- Network and DNS operations
- Internet governance and regulatory practices
- Network and routing security
- Content delivery
- Internet peering and mobile data exchange
- Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT)
Submissions
RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations
non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged.
Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on
operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example,
presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the
underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration.
Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general,
the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows:
- Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes
discussion
- Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning)
- Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday
morning)
- BoFs: approximately one hour
- Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any
discussion
The following general requirements apply:
- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system,
https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/.
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission
system (https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can
be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week.
Allocation of lightning talks will start a few days before the
meeting, and will continue throughout the meeting. During the
meeting, they may be announced on the day before the talk or even on
the same day as the talk.
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission
system (https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can
be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The
allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in
some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot
allocated.
- Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include
speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a
neutral facilitator.
- All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they
contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated
later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as
well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators.
- Due to potential technical issues, presenters/panellists should be
physically present at the RIPE Meeting.
If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions,
please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net.

Hi,
we are a team of researchers from TU Berlin [1] working on a measurement project
to assess the ramifications of traffic with spoofed source IP addresses in the
Internet.
To better understand the operational challenges that you as network operators
face when deploying (or not deploying) source IP address filtering techniques,
we'd like to invite you to participate in our survey.
If you could spare 5 minutes of your time, we'd be delighted if you could fill
out our survey form and tell us about your current practices regarding network
filtering.
To participate, please visit:
[2] http://filteringsurvey.inet.tu-berlin.de/
If you have any concerns or questions, you can reply on-list or contact us via
[3] filtering-survey(a)inet.tu-berlin.de. We will only publish anonymized results of
this study and once we've analyzed your feedback we'll publish a digest of the
results on-list if you're interested.
As you are probably subscribed to more network operator lists you might
encounter this mail multiple times. We apologize for cross-posting, but in
order to get results that will give us meaningful insights we need the broadest
coverage we can get.
Thank you very much for your support!
