INTRODUCTION
• IANA IPv4: pool ran out on February 3, 2011!!
• What can we do?
• Option 1: Do Nothing
oWait and See (what will happen)
• Option 2: Extend Life of IPv4
oForce customers to NAT
• Option 3: Deploy IPv6
IPV4 VS IPV6
• Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) deployed on January 1, 1983
o32-bits address space, expressed as 4 octets in “dotted” decimal
notation (192.168.1.1)
o Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA)
• IPv6 deployment began in 1999
o128-bits address space, expressed in HEX form (e.g.
2001:4490:d9b2:ea38::500)
oTheoretically, it can supports 340282366920938 trillion trillion unique
addresses -> never ran out!
IPV4 CURRENT SITUATION
• IANA Unallocated Address Pool Exhaustion: February 3, 2011
• RIR Address Pool Exhaustion Dates and Projection:
oAPNIC (Asia-Pacific): April 19, 2011
oRIPE NCC (Europe): September 14, 2012
oLACNIC (South and Central America / Latin America and Caribbean): Jun
10, 2014
oARIN (North America / (USA, Canada and some Caribbean): September
24, 2015
oAFRINIC (Africa): May 23, 2019 (projected!)
IPV6 ADVANTAGES
• Larger address space
• Global reachability
• Built-In Security: IPSec is a part of the IPv6 protocol
• Packet Header simplification -> faster and more efficient
processing and routing
• Better QoS
• Mobility support across the networks
IPV6 NEW APPLICATIONS
• Smart Technologies as a whole
oSmart Grid system
o Intelligent Traffic Management (ITS) system, including support for
Autonomous Vehicles
oSmart Healthcare system
oEnvironment Control
oSmart Home
oSmart Cities (incl. all services as smart transportation, waste
management…)
NATIONAL REGULATORS IN ACTION
• Migration Strategy and Options
• Migration (Action) Plan
• Pilot Implementation
• IPv6 Testbed for large organization
• IPv6 Training and Education
• IPv6 Compliance and Certification
• IPv6 Auditing
DUAL STACK
• Need v4/v6 communication
support
• Basis for other transition
mechanism
• Make security more complex as
it requires separate security
concepts and firewall rules for
each protocol for both v4 and v6
protocol version
• Keeping backwards
compatibility and
interoperability with existing
TUNNELING
• Flexible and easy method for
migration
• The tunnel entry and exit
points need time and CPU
power for encapsulating and
decapsulating packets
• Exiting Single Points of Fail
• Troubleshooting gets more
complex
ADDRESS AND PROTOCOL TRANSLATION
• This approach is just temporary solution for short time
• It does not support the advanced features of IPv6, such as end-
to-end security
• Allows IPv6 hosts to communicate directly with IPv4 hosts and
vice versa
BUSINESS CHALLENGES FOR IPV6 DEPLOYMENT
• Large Investments in current IPv4 infrastructure (governments, regulators, ISP and Telco industry, huge number of devices for IPv4 existing….)
• IPv4 still work (blinded problem!), NAT reduces IPv4 address requirement
• Uncertainty of Market Demand
• No clear IPv6 Business Model: Cost or Quality?
• Prediction: IPv4 and IPv6 will co-exist for long time
• There is no compatible end-user equipment
• The is no back compatible options
WHERE DOES IPV6 STACK
• IPv6 deployment suffers because of the lack of motivation
• Lack of consumer push
• What is native and real IPv6-only content and application?
• Lack of IPv6 engineers skills
• Non-availability of IPv6 testbeds for end-to-end testing
• Lack of Government and Regulators incentives
IPV6 DEPLOYMENT STRATEGY
• Build wider confidence in IPv6 as a technology: e.g. showcase
IPv6 ready products and solutions
• IPv6 Business model(s) for investments: Proof-in-Concept
• IPv6/based applications: e-Governance / e-Goverment / Smart
Public 9Citiyens) services, Smart Cities….
• Create Market Demand!!!!
• Create National/Regional/Local task force and pilot projects
IPV6 PILOT PROJECTS
• Demonstration: build confidence in IPv6
• Social benefits: create the impact in the community
• Entrepreneurship, Innovations, New Ideas and Solutions
INTERNATIONAL POLICY ON IPV6 DEPLOYMENT
• National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap
• Key Policy guideline
• Strategy
• Action Plan
• Pilot Project
GERMANY ON IPV6
• German IPv6 Roadmap was launched in 2009. The objective is a
complete technical and organizational setup for a centralized IPv6
public administration in Germany as of 2011. The German Federal
Ministry of the Interior was allocated and administers a /26 IPv6
address block for all federal, state and local public administration in
Germany at the end of 2009. In 2008, two large programs were
launched to modernize the communication infrastructure of the
public administration based on IPv6. In addition, IPv6 is being
introduced through a variety of IPv6 projects and initiatives at
different policy, organizational and technical levels, with numerous
IPv6 pilot projects, working groups and activities at state and local
level
USA ON IPV6
• The United States has set a timeline for adopting IPv6 for use
on public servers by the end of 2012.
• Most od them working on Dual Stack mode right now!
JAPAN ON IPV6
• In February 2009, MIC convened a "Study Group Concerning the
Improved Use of IPv6 on the Internet". The MIC has developed
an IPv6 testing platform to build IPv6 expertise. The "Task
Force on IPv4 Addresses Exhaustion, Japan”, launched by MIC
and industry associations in September 2008 helps interested
Internet operators to build action plans, publicise IPv6
activities, and develop IPv6 educational programmes.
UK ON IPV6
• The UK encourages a market‐led, needs‐driven approach.
Encourage stakeholders to be proactive in adopting IPv6, while
being mindful of their commercial needs and costs. The UK has
set up 6UK, a not‐for‐profit membership organization founded
in April 2010 to help the UK and UK organizations secure every
competitive advantage available from the rapid adoption of the
new protocol, and otherwise to make sure no segment of UK
industry and wider society gets left behind..
WHAT DO WE NEED NOW
• Oversight committee – apex body for making policy decisions
and responsible for guiding the task force by taking strategic
decisions
• Steering committee – for coordinating the activities of the Task
force and oversee the activities of different working groups
• Working Group(s) on different topics related with IPv6
