> C. TTM future - Mark Dranse (RIPE NCC)
> http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-55/presentations/dranse-ttm.pdf
> Mark Dranse reported on the RIPE NCC's ideas on the future of TTM (Part
> II). He reported on what has happened since the last meeting, RIPE 54,
> and where the RIPE NCC plans to go from there.
> 
> The vision is the same as it was for RIPE 54:
> • To expand and maintain the TTM network
> • To increase the value of the service to the community at large, and to
> the owners of the probes
> • To enhance network and measurement architecture
> • To improve result reporting and TTM network alarms
> • To improve admin and pricing
> 
> Mark went into further detail on the five key points of the vision.
> 
> He also went into detail on the proposed pricing model and asked if
> anyone had questions. He explained that consensus would be sought before
> the plan is implemented.
> 
> He also encouraged feedback on all RIPE NCC Information Services.
> 
> Questions
> 
> Will Hargrave (LONAP) asked that, when replacing hardware, there won't
> be a need to replace the GSP antennae on roofs so are these going to be
> replaced with the rest of the hardware?
> 
> Mark responded that the replacement of the hardware only applies to the
> server. If the GPS antenna works properly it should be left there.
> 
> Brian Nisbet (HEAnet) commented that IPv6 multicast has been mentioned
> on the mailing lists and that he was very interested in when this will
> happen?
> 
> Mark responded that a later presentation will cover multicast. IPv6 is
> already enabled across the entire network.
> 
> Niall O’Reilly (University College Dublin) asked what the timescale for
> a new sales packaging is? He continued that he wants a test-box but
> doesn’t want to do paperwork before it all changes.
> 
> Mark responded that when consensus is reached, a new sales package will
> be implemented. New contracts for new users will be phased in.
> 
> Henk asked if a new service contract was updated yet?
> Mark responded that contract has not yet been updated.
> 
> Henk asked the group if there were any objections to the scheme?
> 
> There were no objections. Henk said he would now circulate this message
> of consensus on the TT WG mailing list.
> 
> D. Status of the TTM Service – Ruben van Staveren (RIPE NCC)
> http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-55/presentations/van-staveren-ttm.pdf 
> 
> Ruben reported on the status of the TTM network.
> 
> There were no questions.
> 
> E. Using TTM to Monitor AMS-IX – Geert Nijpels (AMS-IX)
> http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-55/presentations/nijpels-amsix-performance.pdf 
> 
> 
> Geert reported on the use of the TTM box at AMS-IX. This was an update
> of a presentation given two years ago on the status of the box.
> 
> There were no questions.
> 
> F. Multicast Monitoring Status Report – Franz Schwarzinger (RIPE NCC)
> http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-55/presentations/schwarzinger-multicast.pdf 
> 
> Franz gave an update on the status of the multicast monitoring on RIPE
> NCC test-boxes. The presentation updated reports given in the previous
> two RIPE Meetings. Franz asked for people with a test-box to e-mail
> tt-ops at ripe.net if they wanted to activate monitoring for IPv6.
> 
> There were no questions.
> 
> Z. A.O.B.
> 
> Ruben presented a slide on IPv6 not being compatible with global
> warming. Packet losses were found to be averted by the installation of a
> cooling box.
> 
> Henk asked if there was any other business. There were none. The session
> ended.
