IPv6 Broker Database
1 like428 views
The document discusses the RIPE NCC's plan to create an IPv6 Broker Database to help facilitate the transition to IPv6 by allowing network operators and content providers to verify each other's IPv6 connectivity and readiness. The database will serve as a registry for networks and content providers to publish their IPv6 deployment details and access whitelisting. This will help improve IPv6 performance and allow incremental adoption. The RIPE NCC sees this as aligned with its mission to coordinate services neutrally. A phased rollout is proposed starting with the RIPE NCC testing Google resources directly, then expanding to other content providers and whitelist members.

- 2. RIPE Network Coordination Centre Background • More networks are becoming IPv6 enabled - Some implementations are broken and may be hard to detect - Looking for content • More Content Providers have content on IPv6 - Concerned about suboptimal performance as compared to IPv4 - Don’t want to offer poor service to end users • Google are using whitelisting to provide access - Network operator certifies mature deployment - Commits to fix any detected issues 2

- 5. Why are we interested? • Within our mission of a NCC - Provide neutral and impartial coordination services • Allows incremental deployment - Gradually improves confidence • Social and publicity element - Public list of ISPs that claim their IPv6 maturity - Public list of content providers that support IPv6 • We can offer simple checks and tools - Check and compare connectivity (IP4/IPv6) - Diagnostics - Statistics 5
- 6. RIPE Network Coordination Centre Roll-out • Phase 1 - Proof of concept - NCC is the sole end user of Google resources • Phase 2 - Additional content providers • Phase 3 - Invite existing Google whitelist members to join • Phase 4 - Open to other network operators 6
