[ipv6-wg] IPv6 Only Network at RIPE 67

"It's an IPv6 Working Group Initiative!"

Dear Colleagues,

Following the discussion at RIPE 66, the IPv6 Working Group is happy to provide you with an experimental network that is configured to offer only IPv6. This experimental network is not supported by the RIPE NCC or RIPE 67 Technical Team.

We encourage everybody to connect to this network and test any websites, applications, hardware and software, and verify that they operate when an IPv4 address is no longer available.

Important: This network is an experiment and is offered on a best-effort basis. We will try to maintain sufficient service levels and are happy to look into and help troubleshoot any issues you may encounter. If you rely on network connectivity for important business, we recommend you connect to the regular RIPE Meeting network.

How to connect:

- Make sure IPv6 is enabled on your device
- Connect to SSID: IPV6ONLYEXP
- Enter the password: iknowbesteffort

The network provides NAT64 translation to connect to legacy services – please use the name server provided by the network to make use of this feature. We suggest you leave IPv4 enabled as this will be the scenario for most end users.

Feedback:

Please see Marco Hogewoning or Andrew Yourtchenko for any issues.

We invite you to attend the IPv6 Working Group session on Thursday from 9:00-10:30
to discuss the results of this experiment.  And of course you are welcome to follow up on this mailing list.

Greetings,

Marco Hogewoning
Andrew Yourtchenko
