San Joaquin Valley Library System IPv6 Case Study The San Joaquin Valley Library System (SJVLS) is a ten jurisdiction, joint powers agency in central California, and we are IPv6-ready. We have around 10% of the public libraries in the state all connected to a common network. The whole network is run by three network engineers, three librarians and a manager. We get our connectivity from CENIC, California’s state-wide education network. They provide us with redundant…
"Library Framework Setup for IPv6"Tag: arin news
An emergent IPv4 transfer market and IPv4 address scarcity have led to increased attempts to fraudulently obtain IP addresses. In late 2018, ARIN uncovered an elaborate scheme to defraud the Internet community of approximately 735,000 IPv4 addresses, and ARIN responded in accordance with community-developed policies and through legal means pursuant to those policies. ARIN is committed to protecting the resources entrusted to us. We recently issued a press release regarding the outcome of a landmark…
"Taking a Hard Line on Fraud"
NTT is a global Tier 1 provider. We provide IP transit up to 100g and DDoS Protection Services. We have a presence in the APNIC, ARIN, RIPE NCC, and LACNIC regions. Our network is 100% implemented with IPv6. IPv6 is a necessity We have been providing IPv6 since 2000. The decision to deploy came from our operations team and management that maintained the backbone 20 years ago. There are two reasons we adopted IPv6: IPv4 depletion drove…
"Tier 1 Providers Must Offer IPv6"ARIN has long been a standard bearer, encouraging the deployment of IPv6 for the health and growth of the Internet. Over the years, that outreach has taken many shapes. It has included direct outreach to customers, appearances at tradeshows and industry events, and even the creation of Team ARIN, where you are reading this blog. Our messaging and audiences have evolved as we went through IPv4 depletion at ARIN, and it continues to change as…

"Should I apply for a new ARIN Community Grant?"Internal process for handling route hijacking reports With increased interest in BGP hijacking (also known as “route hijacking”), we thought it might be helpful to explain how we currently handle these reports. First of all, the Registration Services team receives route hijacking complaints from many different sources including other RIRs, customers, people that report them on network operator mailing lists (e.g. NANOG), SPAM enforcement companies, fraud reports entered on the ARIN website, feedback reports and…
"How does ARIN handle reports of Route Hijacking?"
Despite more than a decade of evangelism on behalf of IPv6, the Internet community has not yet succeeded in moving the world to a new networking standard. Technologies like NAT and secondary markets for IPv4 numbers have introduced major economic efficiencies that have extended the life of IPv4. Along with the absence of backward compatibility, it’s not really correct to call the IPv4-IPv6 transition a migration; rather, it’s a standards competition. And we need to understand better the…

"Celebrating Women in ICT Day: Getting to Know the Women of ARIN"It may not feel like it, but the Internet has been on the verge of seizing up for years. Like a city running out of space to build homes, the web is experiencing a serious shortage of new IPv4 addresses. And, just as cities adopt vertical building techniques to create more space, technicians have created a way out- IPv6. What is IPv6? IPv6 is the latest form of the Internet Protocol (IP), which provides a…
