Birds of a Feather (BoF)

BoF (Birds of a Feather) sessions are held at RIPE Meetings to start an informal discussion on a topic of shared interest among RIPE Meeting attendees. If a BoF attracts sufficient interest, it might become a RIPE Working Group or Task Force.

Operations meets Standardisation (and vice-versa)

This BoF is a logical continuation of discussion after “Best Current Operational Practices” presentation at plenary session earlier that day. We’ll try to gather together interested people in starting an community effort and a discussion group that would get involved in creating the documents that describes how Internet is ran today (IPv6 and IPv4) and how we implement new technologies like IPv6, DNSsec, RPKI and all others.

RIPEstat live demo

Christian Teuschel, Vasco Asturiano and Vesna Manojlovic, RIPE NCC

RIPEstat is a RIPE NCC service that provides users with information on a specific Internet number resource (IP address, prefix or ASN) from a variety of data sources. The information is provided as visualisations which can be embedded on a website. Results are also available through a scriptable data API. The RIPEstat “toolbox” is developed in close cooperation with the RIPE community.

At this live demonstration we will reveal new features and report on ongoing development. This is a great opportunity for our users to share feedback directly with the developers and learn more about RIPEstat first-hand.
