Minutes

7-8 June 2016, Moscow, Russia

The Eurasia Network Operators’ Group (ENOG) is the regional forum in which experts concerned with the core operational issues of the Internet can share knowledge and expertise on issues unique to the Russian Federation, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and Eastern Europe.

The ENOG 11/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting took place from 7-8 June 2016 at the Moscow Marriott Grand Hotel in Moscow, Russia. A total of 550 attendees from 13 countries participated in the meeting, 518 of whom were from Russia.

    Stefan Meinders, Deepfield

An audience member asked Christian whether state agencies were really using RIPE Atlas data. He also asked why they couldn’t get probes into the ENOG region.

Christian replied that legislation in countries heavily influenced the development of the Internet and at RIPE Meetings they were seeing more and more participation from regulators and governments.

He said at the moment they were focusing on ISPs with their measurements, but as they saw more government agencies joining the discussion, they would steer resources towards giving them measurement information to inform their decisions. Regarding the second question, Christian said they were trying to expand the RIPE Atlas network by getting probes onto networks that didn’t already have a probe connected – which meant that the RIPE Atlas network was growing a little slower than it had in the earlier stages.

Telecom in Russia-2016: Simplification of Bureaucracy

IPv4 Transfers
Elvis Daniel Velea, V4Escrow

Axel Pawlik, RIPE NCC, said he just wanted to correct an earlier remark by Elvis and state that the RIPE NCC did not set the prices for IPv4 addresses. The RIPE NCC charged an annual membership fee.

Andrea Cima, RIPE NCC, thanked Elvis for his interesting presentation. He said clarified that the RIPE NCC had not run out of IPv4 and was still allocating address space.

Elvis replied that the small blocks of address space the RIPE NCC was allocating would only last a few more years.

Lightning Talks

Runet Connectivity Monitoring: Why and how?
Leonid Volkov, Internet Protection Society

RIPE Atlas Command Line Interface Tools
Viktor Naumov, RIPE NCC

An audience member said he had received two probes and this was a normal TP link that cost 2,000 roubles and the USB drive cost a few more hundred roubles. He said this was a political story and not a technical one, but he wanted to know if they could do this more with software instead.

Viktor replied that this was on their roadmap – they were looking into software or something that could be run on a virtual machine. However, as they only had so many resources they couldn’t do everything at once. He said the RIPE Atlas probes were initiated within their offices, as there were some security considerations. He said they generated the keys themselves and they didn’t delegate this to other parties.

The audience member said that when you had physical access it was clear that you could decompile and decode this.

Viktor said that as the project belonged to the community, they needed to discuss this together to develop solutions. He said that there were many different opportunities but they needed resources and approval – because RIPE Atlas could potentially be used for illegal activities.

RIPE NCC Update
Axel Pawlik, RIPE NCC

Elvis Velea, v4Escrow, asked if the RIPE NCC would think about aggregation when people would open several LIRs with the goal of obtaining contiguous allocations.

Axel replied that aggregation should be one of their goals, though he noted that if they looked at what was going on with IPv4 transfers, people didn’t seem to care too much about aggregation anymore.

Thomas King from DE-CIX said the RIPE NCC’s RPKI validator was very much appreciated and asked that this be made ready for a production environment.

Axel said that they would be doing this.
