Context for IPv6 @ Bechtel

Start IPv6 now?

20-Feb-2007 6

There is absolutely no substitute for agenuine lack of preparation

The fortune cookie says…


Response to changing business models

Global technical positioning

New capabilities

Engineering systems convergence to IP

Customer-partner-vendor-induced IPv6 insertion

It’s all about business…


IPv6 is broadly deployed

IPv6 is default in global dual-stack environment

New products and services run IPv6 by default

IPv6 industry leadership

Innovation foundation

Rapid deployment of new IPv6 products & services

Bechtel IPv6 Vision – 2008


Develop Sustainable IPv6 Competence Through Experience

Foundation first

Keep IPv4 (for now) – Add IPv6

Broad deployment of expected successes

Ensure nothing breaks (in production)

Maintain / improve security

Use natural change mechanisms when able

Actively engage key technology partners

Measuring IPv6 Success @ Bechtel

Milestones 2006 2007 2008

Global IPv6 Labs 4 5 5

LAN / WAN 5 100 95%

Windows Clients 1,000 10,000 95%

Web sites 6 internal 25% 95%

Apps–dual stack 30 major 90% 100%

Mobility Wireless Remote Access Always on

Management Basic Over IPv4 Over IPv6

Security Limit to internal External IPv6 Borderless Projects

Bechtel’s enterprise-wide IPv6 planning and implementation experience has already worked through the issues that will be faced by its customers and partners

Details in the June, 2006 BTTJ Article IPv6 – Implication of External Change Vectors Link: http://www.bechteltelecoms.com/docs/bttj_v4n2/Article01.pdf


Are we ready?

Network equipment – Mostly

Operating Systems – Functional

Transport – US carriers lag

Application – Most don’t care

Staff skills – Growing in with activity

Standards – Several mature for years, some advanced features immature
