Day One
The RIPE 59 Meeting’s opening session plenary kicked off with IPv6-related presentations from Marco Hogewoning (XS4ALL) and Jan Schöllhammer, (AVM), an account from Martin Pels about AM-SIX’s MPLS/VPLS deployment and a review of 4-byte Autonomous System (AS) Number deployment from APNIC’s Geoff Huston.
The second plenary session continued the IPv6 theme with presentations focused on the practical side of IPv6 implementation and the issues that arise post-implementation. France Telecom’s Christian Jacquenet outlined his company’s IPv6 migration strategy.
Having worked on the deployment of IPv6 at HEANET in 2003, Dave Wilson talked about post-implementation issues and presented a business case for IPv6. Fernando Garcia looked at the status of real-world IPv6-enabled websites in his presentation, and the session concluded with an interesting report from Carlos Friaças on a project that assists those with special needs using the Internet and IPv6 in particular. Both plenary sessions provoked plenty of comment and debate. You can download presentations from the plenary sessions.
IPv6 Tutorial

RIPE NCC Trainer Alex Band gave an overview of what network operators need to do to get their networks IPv6 ready and explained how to request IPv6 address space.
