Re: [ipv6-wg] The Candidates for the IPv6-wg Co-chair position
Dear WG and Chairs, This short message is to introduce myself as the second candidate for the chair position of our WG. My name is Paolo, I am based in Milano (Italy). I'm rather new in the RIPE community, as my first in-person meeting was RIPE 84. Yet, my interest in being more involved in IPv6 and, hopefully, serving as a chair of the WG comes from currently being with the European standardization department of Huawei. Thanks to that, I am active in the IETF in a few IPv6-related WGs (e.g. v6ops, 6man, BMWG). I have co-authored RFC 9386 on IPv6 deployment status and have some other drafts on-going. I do believe that there is a lot of operational knowledge in the RIPE community. The standards done at the IETF and the progress in the deployment of IPv6, in particular in the European region, may really benefit from that. I know that, sometimes, saying that I work for a big vendor such as Huawei makes someone "turn up their nose". My employer is informed, of course, but not involved. I am not here for doing sales, rather to build open and trusted relationships. This is, to me, the greatest added value of being part of a community. In any case, I have also worked for other companies, including an Italian mobile carrier. What else? In the spare time I like cooking and wine tasting. Since we are going to meet in Rome, something can be organized on purpose :-) Said that, let me wish Christian and myself good luck!

[ipv6-wg] IPv6 multi-homing for site resilience
Dear WG, To document the currently available IPv6-based solutions to support multi-homing connectivity (e.g. a typical requirement of an enterprise site) we have developed the draft "IPv6 Site Connection to Many Carriers" (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-fbnvv-v6ops-site-multihoming/). The draft, co-authored by five people, is active in the IETF v6ops WG. The target we’d like to achieve is to provide a list of the possible ways to support multi-homing through IPv6, discussing the pros and the cons of each method. You will notice, we have included in the current list the common mechanisms (e.g. PI addressing or PA multi-prefix assignment) but also NPTv6 and even NAT66, despite the fact that are not considered positively by the majority of the IPv6 community. The reason for sharing is twofold. On the one hand, we’d like to get the feedback of the community on the technical content, e.g. whether anything is missing or needs more discussion. On the other, we have prepared a short survey to collect data from the field and get a picture of the solutions that are more widely deployed. The survey is anonymous and can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvj4VtixaoXpMpfXhUJawXdQ60MzBKKp6aZ3i9FkKTvynqSg/viewform?usp=sf_link. If possible, we’ll discuss the draft content and the relevant survey at the next RIPE meeting. Thank you for your cooperation.

Re: [ipv6-wg] Clear Guidance for Enterprises
Hi Wilhelm, All, I have noticed that some people would be happy to cooperate to your idea of a paper for IPv6 in enterprises (me included :-) Wonder if you have thought of any rough plan to start and organize the work. Many thanks Paolo -Original Message- From: Wilhelm Boeddinghaus Sent: Thursday, June 1, 2023 4:20 PM To: Paolo Volpato Cc: ipv6-wg@ripe.net Subject: Re: [ipv6-wg] Clear Guidance for Enterprises Hi Paolo, thanks for your help with this project. Lack of budget is of course a problem. But if the IT departments could at least quantify the budget, this would help. If they have no idea how to start the project, a budget eastimation is not possible.

Re: [ipv6-wg] Clear Guidance for Enterprises
Hi Wilhelm, In addition, I would add that they also lack the budget to consider deploying IPv6, meaning that enterprises don't consider IPv6 as a priority. At least, this is what we found during the editing of RFC 9386 on IPv6 deployment status. I would be happy to contribute to this effort. Best regards Paolo -Original Message- From: ipv6-wg On Behalf Of Wilhelm Boeddinghaus Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2023 6:06 PM To: ipv6-wg@ripe.net Subject: [ipv6-wg] Clear Guidance for Enterprises Hi, at the end of my talk during the RIPE86 IPv6 working group I promised to start work on a paper with clear guidance for enterprises to migrate their networks to IPv6. We have often wondere why enterprises do not migrate to IPv6. One possible answer is: They have no time and they lack knowledge. Many IT departments don't have any spare time for reading RFCs. From my understanding these IT departments don't need papers explaining the many possibilites to choose from. They need very clear guidance and examples. I am looking for 3 to 4 people who would like to start working on this with me. Peter Hessler contacted me during the meeting and he offered his help, time and expertise for this project. Thank you, Peter.
