IPv6 CPE Survey
This article is an attempt to collect and present up-to-date information on the IPv6-readiness of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) from various vendors. This is an ongoing project, and we are currently seeking feedback from as many vendors as possible.
Serving ROAs as RPSL route[6] Objects from the RIPE Database
During the last RIPE Meeting, discussions took place around Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) in association with routing. To give you an idea how an Internet Routing Registry generated from RPKI repositories may look like, we published a prototype of a RIPE Database instance that will serv…
Interesting Graph - IPv6 Allocation Requests
Robert Kisteleki
I am the leader of the Research and Development team at the RIPE NCC leading a dedicated team of thinkers to support the RIPE community by providing network research, data analysis and prototype tool development and services including RIPE Atlas and RIPEstat.
This graph shows the number of IPv6 allocations received since 2007 when the RIPE NCC started to allocate IPv6 address space.

Geoff Huston
Geoff Huston AM is the Chief Scientist at APNIC, where he undertakes research on topics associated with Internet infrastructure, IP technologies, and address distribution policies. From 1995 to 2005, Geoff was the Chief Internet Scientist at Telstra, where he provided a leading role in the construction and further development of Telstra's Internet service offerings, both in Australia and as part of Telstra's global operations. Prior to Telstra, Mr Huston worked at the Australian National University, where he led the initial construction of the Internet in Australia in the late 1980s as the Technical Manager of the Australian Academic and Research Network. He has authored a number of books dealing with IP technology, as well as numerous papers and columns. He was a member of the Internet Architecture Board from 1999 until 2005 and served as its Executive Director from 2001 to 2005. He is an active member of the Internet Engineering Task Force, where he currently chairs two Working Groups. He served on the Board of Trustees of the Internet Society from 1992 until 2001 and served a term as Chair of the Board in 1999. He has served on the Board of the Public Internet Registry and also on the Executive Council of APNIC. He chaired the Internet Engineering and Planning Group from 1992 until 2005.
This study, done by Geoff Huston and George Michaelson from the APNIC is looking at the level of background traffic observed in networks 14/8 and 223/8.
Use of the Routing Registry in the RIPE NCC Service Region
Ferenc Csorba
I work at the RIPE NCC Training Services.
In 2009-2010, the RIPE NCC conducted a survey among the participants of its Routing Registry Training Course to find out how they used the Routing Registry and how effective the course was.
Interesting Graph - IPv6 and RIPE 60

Based in Amsterdam, NL
I'm a system architect/research coordinator at the RIPE NCC, where I work in the science group. I'm a chemist by training, but have been working since 1998 on Internet related things, as a sysadmin, security consultant, web developer and researcher. I am interested in technology changes (like IPv6 deployment), Internet measurement, data analysis, data visualisation, sustainability and security. I'd like to bring research and operations closer together, ie. do research that is operationally relevant. When I'm not working I like to make music (electric guitar, bass and drums), do sports (swimming, (inline) skating, bouldering, soccer), and try to be a good parent.
We measured the number of web clients connected to www.ripe.net during the RIPE 60 meeting in Prague. The results are shown in this graph.

After creating a rating system, in which RIPE NCC members can get up to four “stars” for IPv6 services, depending on certain criteria, we now looked at the increase of IPv6 RIPEness over time. See this illustrated in this movie.

Historical BGPlay is a tool developed by Claudio Squarcella, trainee at the RIPE NCC in 2010. It is a visualisation tool that shows the long term evolution of IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes.
DNSMON - New User Interface
We implemented a new concept user interface for DNSMON and conducted a survey of our existing subscribers, collecting their feedback and suggestions for future work. You can find the results and the changes described in this article.
