Introduction:

Jerome: Remind main goals for the meeting:
  Share IPv6 multicast experience
  Tackle faster the connectivity/implementations problems
  Use the network to be able to improve it
  Know eachother a bit better :-) Would like we have these meetings every 3 weeks and that these meetings don’t last more than 1 hour.

Presentation of people attending the videoconf:

  Netza - UdeG - connects several sites/networks in America (UACH, UNAM, CPQD, UdeG, Univ Navojoa, Wichita, NYSERNET...)
  Stig - UNINETT - connects site in NORDUNET/UNINETT region, connected natively via 6NET
  Roman - PSNC - connected natively via 6NET
  Sami Keski-Kasari - TUT - connected behind UNINET
  Luciano - CPQD - connected behind UdeG
  Jerome - RENATER - Manages global RP and some tunnels. Natively connected to 6NET core and soon to ETRI in Korea.

New M6Bone maps and MBGP deployment:

Jerome: Core of M6Bone is now an MBGP+PIM SM/SSM network. No more RIPng mesh. Sites can then connect to the POPs on the core. A document describing how to do this will be published on the M6Bone web site. 6NET runs IPv6 multicast, all the NRENs in Europe are interconnected natively for IPv6 multicast.

Netza: Is connected to several networks/sites from a C3725. IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel as he has "bad" IPv6 connectivity. Soon CUDI will be connected to Abilene natively. CPQD - Static Univ of Sonoara - Static UNAM - Static Wichita - Static NYSERNET - BGP RENATER - BGP Had difficulties for connecting the sites. He has now static routes (for unicast and multicast) to connect the sites not able to do MBGP. He has nbow routes for /48 to keep only sites prefixes in the list.

Stig: FUNET and TUC directly connected to NORDUNET now.

Jerome: Remind everyone to take a look at the maps periodically and send the diffs to have maps and site list up to date Maps are the only way to show the activity around IPv6 multicast

Availability of IPv6 multicast in vendors equipments:

Netza & Stig: CISCO
  Good experience with CISCO
  No possible to redistribute static multicast routes in MBGP
  Embedded-RP and BSR tests performed

Jerome: JUNIPER
  MBGP+static multicast routes
  No IPv6 in IPv6 tunnels
  can encapsulate if DR
  cannot decapsulate if RP (next release). Only works with Null registers at the time
  no embedded RP (should be here soon)
  no BSR (doesn’t take it into consideration and doesn’t forward the BSR messages)

Jerome: 6WIND
  MBGP+static multicast routes
  Kame daemon slightly tuned to support MRIB
  Will be soon in CLI in official releases (January)
  no embedded-RP and BSR configuration possible (will work on it)
  static RP configuration available

Beacon:

Roman:
  Some changes on beacon server few days ago.
  Memory leak on clients, didn’t solve the problem, they don’t know what is the problem (Java virtual machine?)
  Should be implemented in Mexico (and maybe Brazil) as important POP.
  Encourage everyone to run the client and use beaconserver.m6bone.net server.

Netza: Will work on it: they will stay in contact.

Stig: Important to keep an eye on the matrix to have it green. Too many problem at that time. We need to deploy it but we have to use the tool.

Open microphone:

Netza: Can’t see Luciano in Brazil but can hear him

Stig: Maybe a MTU problem: vic uses large packets and rat use small packets. When encapsulation, this can cause some problems.

Next meeting:

Jerome: I will send proposals in the ML.
