ISOC position on IPv6
IPv6 is the future of the
Internet, and without it we
can no longer grow.

The Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF)
The mission of the IETF is to make the Internet
work better The IETF's mission is "to make the
Internet work better" by producing high quality,
relevant technical documents that influence the
way people design, use, and manage the
Internet. But as soon as it is the Internet
Engineering Task Force, so this means: make
the Internet work better from an engineering
point of view.

ISOC Deploy 360 programme
The Internet Society Deploy360 Programme
is a new initiative that provides real-world
IPv6, DNSSEC, etc. deployment
information. Deploy360 aims to bridge the
gap between the IETF standards process
and final adoption of those standards by
the global operations community.

How IPv6 ready are you?
• IPv6 RIPEness is a rating system which awards stars
to RIPE NCC members depending on how IPv6 ready
they are. Stars are awarded for:
• Having an IPv6 allocation
• Visibility in the Routing Information Service (RIS)
• Having a route6 object in the RIPE Database
• Having a reverse DNS delegation set up
• Find out how you can get your RIPEness stars
For more information on the RIPE NCC's IPv6
RIPEness project, see
http://labs.ripe.net/topics/ipv6ripeness
Check out the RIPEness data below:
• LIRs with 4star RIPEness
• RIPEness per country pie-charts

In order to earn the first star, an LIR must
have received an IPv6 allocation.
Additional stars can be earned by
registering a route6 object in the RIPE
Database, setting up reverse DNS and
announcing the prefix

First star: IPv6 address space
• The main criteria for being included in the IPv6
RIPEness list, is to have an IPv6 allocation from
the RIPE NCC (or an IPv6 PI assignment). If you
are an LIR and you do not have IPv6 address
space yet, you can send a request or fill in the
appropriate form on the LIR Portal:
• "IPv6 First Allocation Request Form" or
• "IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Assignment
Request Form".

2nd star: route6 object
• To find out if you have a "route6" object in the
Routing Registry, you can query for the IPv6 address
space prefix (or address) in RIPEstat. The “Routing
Consistency” module will show "FOUND" in the
whois column if a route6 object for the address
prefix is registered in the RIPE Database. You can
see an example in the image below:
• If you don’t have a route6 object, you can create one.
Note that this is not absolutely necessary for
deploying IPv6, but it is a measure of good
housekeeping. Some transit providers or Internet
Exchange Points use route[6] objects as a
requirement for accepting customers or peers.

3rd star: reverse DNS
• To find out if your LIR has reverse DNS for
the IPv6 prefix, you can query for the IPv6
address space prefix (or address)
in RIPEstat.

4th star: prefix visible in RIS
• One way to check if your IPv6 prefix is announced, is
to see if it is visible in the RIPE NCC Routing
Information System (RIS). If you want to check for
yourself if your prefix is visible there, you can look it
up directly in RIS or in the RIPEstat toolbox.
• If you don’t see it as “This prefix is currently
announced by…” and then the AS number, that
means that you still need to announce your IPv6
prefix to your neighbors, either by establishing IPv6
BGP peering with upstreams or peers, or ask your
transit provider to announce your prefix.
