IPv6 deployment update: Where are we now? ISOC ION in Sri Lanka 18 Jan 2015 By Vivek Nigam

Agenda

•  IPv6 deployment status in the APNIC region • Growth path of the Internet: IPv6 and mobile

networks • APNIC’s engagement with IPv6 deployment • Conclusion

2

How IPv6 deployment is going?

This varies around the world in terms of… – Address deployment

•  Have the networks got addresses? – Routing deployment

•  Do they show in the routing table? – Content readiness on IPv6 – User capability

•  Can end-users use IPv6 and access content?

Observation •  IPv6 deployment is increasing steadily

–  But varies among regions, economies, and individual ASNs –  Not happening simultaneously –  Some economies and ASNs have been very active in terms of IPv6

deployment •  Particularly some mobile network operators and cable TV operators •  Once they enable IPv6 in their network and handsets, their end user

readiness grows VERY rapidly

•  Where are you now in terms of IPv6 deployment?

Two Mobile Revolutions… •  1990s: mobile voice explosion

–  Few wires available (copper) –  New wireless technology (analogue mobile) –  New consumer technology (cellphones) –  Pent up demand (global telephony)

•  2010s: mobile broadband explosion –  Few wires available (copper/fibre) –  New wireless technology (3G/4G) –  New consumer technology (smart phones) –  Pent up demand (global Internet)

33

IPv6 in mobile networks

•  3G+ and 4G (LTE, TD-LTE): Services on voice, messaging and data are converging on IP-based services

•  Rapidly increasing global 3G+ and 4G deployment –  Some mobile network operators already deployed IPv6

34

Verizon T-Mobile

Case Study: T-Mobile USA •  Late 2009

–  T-Mobile USA re-examined their future IP addressing strategy •  Growth in “always-on” smart devices •  Emergence of 4G LTE •  IPv4 does not fit the business need •  IPv6 deployment in mobile networks is ready

–  9 months: Feasibility study and impact assessment on IPv6 deployment

•  In 2010: Started IPv6 friendly user trial •  Oct 2013

–  Deployed IPv6-Only hand devices + an IPv6 transition technology (464XLAT) to make everything work with IPv6-Only

•  Introduction feature to handsets is a slow and careful process

Conclusion: IPv6 in mobile networks •  The business competency of mobile network operators:

–  Shifting from being a traditional voice and messaging provider to mobile broadband service provider to ISP

–  Services on voice, messaging and data are converging on IP based services

–  Rapidly increasing LTE deployment in the region

•  Decision makers’ (mobile network operators) view –  Ready to move to Voice over LTE? –  Mobile cloud computing on top of the LTE network? –  What are key building blocks for all-IP strategy?

•  IP everywhere – here and now –  IPv4 or IPv6? The choice is yours
