[6bone] Who respect RFC2772 ? (5. The 6Bone Registry + 6. Guidelines for new sites joining the 6Bone)

6bone folks,

Flames & co > /dev/null


RFC2772: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2772.txt


5. The 6Bone Registry

   The 6Bone registry is a RIPE-181 database with IPv6 extensions used
   to store information about the 6Bone, and its sites. The 6bone is
   accessible at:

         <http://www.6bone.net/whois.html>)

   Each 6Bone site MUST maintain the relevant entries in the 6Bone
   registry. In particular, the following object MUST be present for all
   6Bone leaf sites, pNLAs and pTLAs:

   -  IPv6-site: site description

   -  Inet6num: prefix delegation (one record MUST exist for each
      delegation)

   -  Mntner: contact info for site maintance/administration staff.

   Other object MAY be maintained at the discretion of the sites such as
   routing policy descriptors, person, or role objects.  The Mntner
   object MUST make reference to a role or person object, but those MAY
   NOT necessarily reside in the 6Bone registry. They can be stored
   within any of the Internet registry databases (ARIN, APNIC, RIPE-NCC,
   etc.)

A lot of 6bone site that are pTLA don't update their whois objects.

6. Guidelines for new sites joining the 6Bone

   New sites joining the 6Bone should seek to connect to a transit pNLA
   or a pTLA within their region, and preferably as close as possible to
   their existing IPv4 physical and routing path for Internet service.
   The 6Bone web site at <http://www.6bone.net> has various information
   and tools to help find candidate 6bone networks.

   Any site connected to the 6Bone MUST maintain a DNS server for
   forward name lookups and reverse address lookups.  The joining site
   MUST maintain the 6Bone objects relative to its site, as describe in
   section 5.

   The upstream provider MUST delegate the reverse address translation
   zone in DNS to the joining site, or have an agreement in place to
   perform primary DNS for that downstream. The provider MUST also
   create the 6Bone registry inet6num object reflecting the delegated
   address space.

   Up to date informatino about how to join the 6Bone is available on
   the 6Bone Web site at <http://www.6bone.net>.

Many pTLA don't have reverse delegation for their pTLA, how they can
delegate the reverse delegation to a 6bone site ?

The pTLA said in their pTLA request that they agree to all current and
future rules and policies !

Do you think that this pTLA who don't respect the RFC2772 must keep
their pTLA ?
