Why IPv6?!


In The Beginning...!

192.168.20.12


Mobility!

Global IPv4 Disparity !


A Plethora of Portable Platforms!

EVERYTHING over IP


Prolonging IPv4 - NAT Today!

The Problem?!

SIP NAT


Oh, and by the way... !

(sorry... we still have NAT with IPv6...)

The Basics!


IPv4!

192.168.20.12


IPv6!

2001:db8:34a5:23:aa1f:12f4:9009:1234


IPv6 Address Compression!

2001:db8:34a5:0:0:0:0:1

2001:db8:34a5::1


IPv6 Address Compression!

127.0.0.1 -> ::1

0.0.0.0 -> ::


IPv4 Port Numbers in IPv6?!

192.168.20.12:5060

2001:db8:34a5::1234:5060


IPv6 Port Numbers!

[2001:db8:34a5::1234]:5060


IPv6 addressing!

http://[2001:db8:34a5::1234]:8080

sip:dan@[2001:db8:34a5::1234]

sip:dan@[2001:db8:34a5::1234]:5060


Subnet Masks!

192.168.20.0 w/subnet mask 255.255.255.0

192.168.20.0/24

2001:db8:34a5:92::/64

fe80::/10


IPv6 – Multiple Addresses / Interface!

192.168.20.12

2001:db8:34a5:92:21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80 (global)

fe80::21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80 (link-local)


IPv6 – Auto-configuration!

2001:db8:34a5:92:21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80

fe80::21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80

Ethernet 00:1c:a5:12:3a:80

(Note: privacy extensions are available)


IPv6 – Neighbor Discovery!

No More DHCP For Address Assignment (well, unless you really want it)

Router Advertisements

Also Replaces ARP


IPv6 – Address Creation!

2001:db8:34a5:92:21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80

Router Advertisement

Autoconfiguration from Ethernet Address


IPv6 and DNS!

example.com 3600 IN A 192.168.20.12

example.com 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8:34a5::1234


IPv6 – Other Differences!

IMCPv6 Heavily Used

No More Packet Fragmentation

No More Broadcasts

Increased Use of Multicasts

NAT Traversal

IPv6 and SIP!

“SIP” = Multiple Protocols!

  SIP •  Control channel

•  Various headers for passing information

•  Offer/answer model for negotiating media (RFC3264)

  SDP (Session Description Protocol – RFC4566) •  Defines media channel(s)

•  Passed inside SIP packets


SIP Clients and Servers!

  IPv4-only

  IPv6-only

  “Dual-stack” – IPv4/IPv6

  RFC 6157 (April 2011)

•  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6157


Discovery of SIP Servers!

  User agents need to find SIP servers/proxies

  DHCPv6 •  SIP Options in RFC 3319

  DNS SRV, NAPTR and AAAA Records (RFC 3263)


IPv4/IPv6 Fun!

  Choosing Which Address to Use •  What if DNS gives a AAAA but your system doesn’t

have “real” IPv6 connectivity? •  Note: You can retrieve AAAA records over IPv4

•  Which address do you try and for how long? •  “happy eyeballs”

  Note: RFC 3484 defines selection process – and operating system may make choice


IPv4/IPv6 Fun!

  Communicating between IPv4 client and IPv6 client through a proxy •  Record-Route: <sip:2001:db8::1;lr>

•  Record-Route: <sip:192.0.2.1;lr>

  Mixed communication across a path of proxies

  Mixed communication: IPv6 for SIP, IPv4 for media


IPv6 and SDP!

  SDP descripes the media capabilities

  Only allows a single IP address per media stream (“c=“ parameter) •  c=IN IP4 192.168.20.12

•  c=IN IP6 2001:db8:34a5::1234

  Multiple proposals for additional SDP parameters •  ex. ANAT - RFC 4091 & 4092 – now deprecated by ICE

  The IETF way forward is ICE – RFC 5245 •  ICE involves a negotation between endpoints to determine

the best address to use


NAT, NAT, NAT... !

STUN, TURN, ICE

(RFC 5245)


RFC 6157!

RFC 6157

“IPv6 Transition in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)”

tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6157


Other IPv6 Considerations!

  Other interfaces •  Web and management systems

•  Logging

•  APIs

  Custom SIP headers

  Multi-vendor interoperability

  SBC and firewall support for SIP over IPv6


SIPNOC 2011 IPv6 BOF!

  April 2011 BOF at SIPNOC 2011 in Herndon, VA

  Identified potential actions: •  Migration plans: collecting and publicizing plans that are

available, helping find others

•  Identification of interoperability tests or test plans that include IPv6 and SIP

•  Providing case studies of successful migrations

•  Listing SIP-related tools/services/products that support IPv6

•  General education around IPv6 and SIP / real-time communication

  Created new mailing list: •  sipforum.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6
