RIPE NCC Global IPv6 Deployment Survey

[Massimiliano Stucchi]

Dear colleagues,

The RIPE NCC would like to invite you to participate in its Global IPv6
Survey 2018. The goal of the survey is to get an overview IPv6
deployment across the world, and to assess how this is seen from the
perspective of ISPs and Enterprise users.

The 2018 survey is a follow up to similar surveys run between 2008 and
2013, and will serve as a
comparison with the data acquired back then.

You can find the survey at the following address:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GlobalIPv6survey2018

Responses can be submitted until 31 March 2018.

We will then collect the data with the aim of presenting the preliminary
results during the upcoming RIPE 76 meeting in Marseille.

If you have any question about the survey, please feel free to email us
at: ipv6survey2...@ripe.net.

Thank you very much in advance for your participation!

Re: Console Servers & Cellular Providers

[Brian Loveland]

We have >100 AT units deployed and about 35 Verizon units and have had
virtually no issues with call home via openvpn.  All opengear ACM7xxx
series.

We are using machine to machine plans from marketplace.att.com. Used to be
a great deal, the new plans are still “fair” and better than standard
consumer/business prepaid plans. We average around 100MB/mo/device, we
could probably improve that with some effort on keepalives etc.

We have had coverage issues in some sites but in the colos we are in it has
been fine.
In colo we usually also take “house” IP due to XC costs blowing out any 3rd
parties, and I have done DSL on PSTN XC before, but even in those cases the
LTE is still useful particularly for turn up where the colo house ip rarely
“just works”.
