IPv6 Deployment Stages

12


13

• Stage one: Planning – IPv6 Task Force

• Help define national interests including key policy makers and technology experts.

– Industry Consultation• Open bottom-up process to include opinions from different stakeholders in the

economy. (e.g. Operators, Regulator, Academics, Civil society etc.)

– IPv6 Deployment Roadmap• Sets the targets, strategies and timeframes to achieve IPv6 deployment goal for

economy.


14

• Stage two: Preparation– Review procurement policy

• IPv6 goals need to be reflected in an organization’s procurement process.

– Stock take of equipment• It is vital to understand the current state of an organization’s IPv6 readiness and to

prepare specific transition timelines.

– Stock take of applications• Organization must determine the priority of upgrading specific applications. They

must also consider issues such as how critical the application is to the organization’s ability to deliver services.

– IPv6 addressing plan• A proper IPv6 addressing plan aligned with industry expert & IETF recommended

best practices will significantly reduce IPv6 deployment time on an existing network.


15

• Stage three: Infrastructure Rollout– Migrate IP Core Network Supporting IPv6

• IP core network is the main backbone of any organization. IPv6 deployment should start from this part of the network.

– Migrate content network supporting IPv6• The content network supports the delivery of data to end users. Datacenters mostly

host the content for end users.

– Migrate access network supporting IPv6• This is the most challenging part of the network to migrate to IPv6. Different

providers use different access technologies. (e.g. xDSL, Fiber to home, 3G, 4G, LTE etc. Different technologies need different deployment strategies.


16

• Stage Four: Application Support – Domain Name Service (DNS)

• DNS translates a domain name to an IP address. IPv6 deployment must ensure all domain names can be translated to IPv6 addresses.

– Mail, Web, File Transfer• All Internet applications running on IPv4 need to be converted to run on IPv6

addresses too.

– ISP Operation System Support (OSS)• OSS software which tracks user identity, usages policy etc. based on IPv4

addresses needs to support IPv6 addresses after successful deployment.

– End device IPv6 readiness• End user devices (e.g. laptops, desktops, smart phones, tablets etc.) need to

support IPv6 protocols to able to communicate end-to-end using IPv6.

IPv6 Deployment Benefits

17

– The address resources you need to connect everything you want• Smart Cities and the IoT (e.g. health and transport) will require billions of new

addresses that are only available via IPv6.

– Proactive security of network backbone• The security of an organization’s Internet infrastructure is vital. Digital certificates

issued by Internet registries to allocated Internet addresses can be verified by an automated process called RPKI. This stops the problem of route hijack which can cause Internet outages.

– Network Resiliency with multihoming• The resiliency of Internet infrastructure is crucial for organizations. A network

connected to more then one ISP will eliminate single points of failure. The network will also more efficiently use network resources by balancing traffic loads between ISPs.

IPv6 Deployment Benefits

– More local content hosted on ccTLD (helps build a local Internet economy)• If national policy facilitates more local content hosted locally based on a ccTLD

domains (e.g. .asia, .sg) this helps boost a local Internet economy (e.g. e-commerce, tourism, e-government services etc.)

– More peering (IXP) then transit - reduced cost, better and improved user experience• Peering is the traffic exchange mechanism without fees vs Transit is the traffic

carrier mechanism with fees. Because of more direct connectivity, peering reduces the cost of the Internet and provides a better user experience.
