IETF 93 Network Information – Prague, Czech Republic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Terminal Room ==

The Terminal Room is located in the Amsterdam and Sofia rooms, which is on the Lobby Level past the business center. The Terminal Room is open 24 hours a day beginning Sunday, 19 July, 2015 at 16:00 and ending on Friday, 24 July, 2015 at 15:00. A help desk is being provided, hours are listed below.  The room itself consists of approximately 100 seats, providing some wired access and 220v power ports. There is also an HP Officejet Pro 8620 printer available.

Please note that this terminal room has no terminals, PCs, or other user-accessible machines. It is simply a place to get power, wired Internet access, help desk support, or print documents.

When using the Ethernet connections in the Terminal Room, IPv4 addressing is provided via DHCP. Please use Dynamic Auto-configuration for IPv6. A stateless DHCPv6 server or RDNSS will provide network information. To cut down on the mess, ethernet cables have not been installed to every seat in the Terminal Room. If you need a cable, please ask at the Help Desk.

Please note that at the request of the IETF Chair, demonstrations are no longer permitted in the Terminal Room.

=== Help Desk ===
A help desk is being provided and will be staffed the following hours:

|| Sunday       || 16:00 to 19:00 ||
|| Monday       ||  8:00 to 20:00 ||
|| Tuesday      ||  8:00 to 18:00 ||

* Submit a new trouble ticket via the http://tickets.meeting.ietf.org/newticket interface. Filling in the following fields: "My MAC Address", "My Current Location", and "My OS" may expedite ticket processing. If you have an existing account on http://tools.ietf.org you can use your established credentials (email address and tools password) to log in at http://tickets.meeting.ietf.org/login .
* Send an email to [e-mail] with as much detail regarding your issue and configuration as possible.
* If you're on site and need direct network assistance (i.e - you have no network) please go to the helpdesk, which is located in the Terminal Room.
* Use the Jabber room at noc @ jabber.ietf.org to report issues or communicate with the NOC.

You can also use trac to review outstanding tickets before reporting an issue or to update outstanding tickets.

=== External Connectivity ===

The IETF 93 network connects to the Internet via a 10Gb/s link provided by CZ.NIC and a 1Gb/s link from Dial Telecom. The IETF uses 31.133.128.0/18, 31.130.224.0/20 and 130.129.0.0/16 for IPv4 and 2001:67c:1230::/46, 2001:67c:370::/48 and 2001:df8::/32 for IPv6. We are supplying bandwidth for the conference space, as well as wireless and wired connections in the guest rooms.

== Meeting Room Wireless ==

An 802.11 a/g/n/ac wireless network is provided throughout the venue on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, in conjunction with IPv4 and IPv6 addressing options.

The main “ietf” wireless network is now encrypted; when prompted for credentials, enter ietf for both the username and password.

Here’s a quick summary of the new network layout:


|| SSID             || Description                                                            || Encrypted || Frequencies  || IP Versions                     ||
|| ietf                || Our default network                                                || yes           || 5Ghz only      || v4 and v6                       ||
|| ietf-legacy     || For legacy and unencrypted use                           || no             || 2.4 and 5Ghz || v4 and v6                       ||
|| ietf-2.4ONLY || An encrypted network for 2.4Ghz users                || yes           || 2.4Ghz only    || v4 and v6                       ||
|| ietf-v6ONLY  || For users wanting a pure IPv6                               || yes           || 5Ghz only      || v6 only                            ||
|| ietf-nat64       || IPv6 stack with NAT64 to access IPv4 resources || yes           || 5Ghz only      || v6 with NAT64 & DNS64 ||
|| eduroam       || educational users                                                   || yes           || 2.4 and 5Ghz || v4 and v6                        ||

All networks marked as encrypted will offer layer 2 security. This is done using WPA enterprise with 802.1X (PEAP or TTLS) authentication and AES or TKIP encryption. As usual, we are all using the same credentials (user “ietf”, password “ietf”), yet each user will get unique session encryption keys. Our Radius authentication servers use a certificate that you can verify by going to this page: https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/92net

See the following archived email from Chris Elliot for an in-depth explanation of the changes made to the wireless configuration. http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/92all/current/msg00009.html

Note: Some users are having problems using Intel Centrino cards and the IETF network. Please see https://tickets.meeting.ietf.org/wiki/CentrinoIssue

== Guest Room Access ==

The IETF Network is being extended to the guest rooms in the Hilton. *Note* that while we are using the IETF meeting network for Internet connectivity, we are using the hotel's infrastructure (Ruckus access points) for the delivery to the guest rooms, so there are limits to the improvements we can effect.  We recommend using the wired connection if you experience poor connectivity in your guest room.

Wired:
	IPv4 and IPv6 and provided via the wired connection in your room. Due to architectural limitations, inbound TCP connections from the Internet may not be available on the in-room wired connection.

Wireless:
	In the guest room areas you should find the “ietf-hotel” SSID.  This network is 2.4GHz/5GHz and is being delivered via the Hilton's Ruckus access points. We encourage heavy users and/or those having poor coverage to use the wired connection.

== Support ==

If you have trouble using any of the Public or Guest Room services, please try to switch to the hotel SSIDs ("hhonors") or the hotel wired port.  If that doesn’t work, please contact the Hilton support as listed in your room. If things are working fine on the hotel offerings but not on the IETF SSIDs/ports, please do contact us in the Terminal Room (Amsterdam) or via tickets @ meeting.ietf.org  and we’ll be glad to help!


== Printing ==

There is a printer in the Terminal Room and is available to all IETF users. The printer is an HP Officejet Pro 8620 and is accessible via LPD, Bonjour, standard TCP/IP on port 9100.  The hostname for it is term-printer.meeting.ietf.org.


|| Name || Model || Capabilities || IPv4 Address|| IPv6 Address || Notes || Drivers ||
||term-printer.meeting.ietf.org || HP Officejet Pro 8620 || Inkjet w/Duplexer || 31.133.128.18 || 2001:67c:370:128:a65d:36ff:fe32:44ba || Bonjour name: // term-printer // || [http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-Pro-8620-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/5367611/drivers Printer Drivers] ||

|| NTP      || ntp.meeting.ietf.org                                   || A stratum 2 time service is provided via IPv4 and IPv6 unicast           ||
|| DNS      || ns1.meeting.ietf.org ns2.meeting.ietf.org || Validating recursive resolvers. The domain name is meeting.ietf.org. ||

These services are being provided from both of the following servers:
31.130.229.6 / [2001:67c:370:229::6]
or
31.130.229.7 / [2001:67c:370:229::7]

== Geolocation ==
There is a geolocation feed published here: http://noc.ietf.org/geo/google.csv
Geolocation service for temporary networks is often hit or miss. Suggestions/assistance is welcomed.

== MAC Privacy @IETF93 ==


After doing MAC Privacy trials at IETF91 in Honolulu and IETF92 in Dallas, we are transitioning to this being a standard service on the IETF network. It will operate on the all the IETF meeting networks, so no special SSID will be broadcast. Users participating in the service will be assigned a shorter DHCP lease. Note that this time there is also support for some mobile devices.

Instructions and tools to automatically randomize the MAC address used by the Wi-Fi interface of your device can be found (for several OSes) at:

 * https://oruga.it.uc3m.es/802-privacy/index.php/MAC_address_change_tutorial

More information about the IEEE 802 Privacy group and instructions about how to join the discussion list can be found at the IEEE 802 Privacy SG site:
