IPv6 Industry Status• Industry is realizing the limitations of IPv4, and

the solutions of IPv6• IPv6 network infrastructures are deployed

– No longer looking for “killer apps”– Focus is on how IPv6 simplifies infrastructure and

processes to exchange data• Which lowers costs to conduct business

• IPv6 is fundamental enabler. IPv6 fosters innovation thus driving growth– New technology with greater expansibility

Worldwide Technology Evolution• Worldwide Internet Penetration

– 2005 1 Billion users 15%– 2010 1.6 Billion users 25%– 2015 2.3 Billion users 35%– 2020 3.2 Billion users 50%

• Everything over IP and Always-on Technologies• New applications environment• All of this cannot be achieved with the current

Internet based on IPv4+NAT+NAT…


6

IPv6 Why do we Care?• Global adoption of mobile communications• Fixed Mobile Convergence• Accelerating Internet Growth through new

usages• Always-on devices, Internet appliances devices,

Home networks • Customer demand for Quality of Service and

increased security• IPv4 is running out of addressing space


7

IPv6 Essential Benefits• IPv6 is NOT a new protocol paradigm

– But an evolution of the current Internet IPv4 paradigm• Moving to IPv6 can be done gradually or

expediently using a defined set of IPv6 Transition Mechanisms

• IPv6 will expedite the implementation of Network Centric Operations for Next Generation Network deployment

• Network users are coming to depend on information being delivered expeditiously and predictably.


8

IPv6 Essential Benefits• Restoration of End-2-End

communication• Larger IP Address Space• Stateless Node Discovery and

Operations• Inherent Mobility and Roaming

support• IP Header Flow Label to

support Quality of Service – Even when all data is

encrypted

• IPv6 Header Compression – More efficient header

compression

• IPv6 Multicast capabilities – Streaming media and

multimedia content benefit by a more robust Multicast solution

• Extensible IP Architecture to support Future Payloads

• Required IPsec to be a Compliant Implementation

• Transition mechanisms exist to ease the transition from NAT to E2E network communications


9

IPv6 a Foundation for Innovation• Key building blocks• Robust foundation for the creation improved net-centric

products and services• Robust foundation to create and improve existing net-

centric products and services– Ubiquitous Communications – need for a uniform

communications protocol that supports mobility and can handle a large number of devices

– VoIP/Multimedia Services - access content requires global access

– Social Networks require an Internet that is flexible and secure – Sensor Networks (e.g. monitoring systems) requires a flexible

platform that supports mobility, ad-hoc networking, security and a large number of simple devices.

– Product communities of interest require an infrastructure where all things can be connected and can rely on the network for that function


10

IPv6 Business Advantage• There is NO IPv6 business case. IPv6 is the new Internet Protocol

layer 3 plumbing for the Next Generation Networks (NGN) Internet evolution.

• But there is an IPv6 business “advantage” that will expand capability, which will enhance opportunity. A few of those below for discussion (there are others):– Use of globally routable addresses to expand network communications

beyond the view of private NAT'd networks. This cannot be easily done with IPv4.

– The option of true IP Layer end-to-end communications between two peers, without middle boxes or translation to foster new business innovation and growth.

– Seamless network connectivity for mobile clients (an emerging business opportunity). IPv6 enhancements to support stateless autoconfiguration and mobile IP roaming. This cannot be accommodated with IPv4 today.

– The cost of not deploying IPv6 could have significant impact on any business wanting to participate in the emerging NGN evolution


11

Commercial Support for IPv6

www.ipv6ready.org

• Industry standard measure of IPv6 capability and interoperability is the IPv6 Forum IPv6 Ready Logo – See IPv6 Forum IPv6 ready

Logo white paper for more information

• In line with different Government IPv6 profiles


12

Global Mandates / Policy for IPv6• 3GPP mandated use of IPv6 for IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems) 2000

– 3G IMS selected by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) as the Next Generation Networks (NGN) platform

• September 2000, the Japanese Prime Minister identified IPv6 as a critical part of the eJapan 2005 initiative.

• South Korean Government announced its support for IPv6 in Feb 2001• United States Department of Defense mandated the integration of IPv6 in

June 2003 to be ready by 2008. – In June 2005 the White House Office of Management (OMB) has set the

milestones that federal agencies must use IPv6 by June 2008 • European Space Agency declared its support to IPv6• Japanese Intelligent Transport System (ITS) project and the European

Car2Car consortium recommended exclusively use of IPv6 for its future Car2car applications

• Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-S) consortium decided to move to IPv6• Chinese government created and financially supports CNGI, an IPv6

backbone network designed to be the core of China’s Internet infrastructure • CENELEC has opted for IPv6 for the Smart home concept • GRID has adopted IPv6 in its Globus Toolkit 4• WIMAX forum relationship

IPv6 Forum www.ipv6forum.org• World-wide consortium of leading

Internet vendors, Industry, and Research & Education Networks

• Mission – To promote IPv6 by dramatically

improving market and user awareness of IPv6

– To create a quality and secure new Generation Internet

– To allow world-wide equitable access to knowledge and technology

– To promote interoperable testing thru the IPv6 Ready Logo program: http://www.ipv6ready.org

• 10 IPv6 Forum Chapters and 25 IPv6 Task Forces around the world

• Address worldwide deployment issues to overcome barriers to IPv6 deployment

– Stepping back from taking a promotion body role

• Main focus is the business strategy of assisting IPv6 deployment from a technology perspective along with education on IPv6

• President – Latif Ladid• Chief Technology Officer – Jim Bound• IPv6 Forum Fellows

– Jeff Doyle– Hiroshi Esaki – Tony Hain– Merike Kaeo– John Loughney – Hua Ning– Yanick Pouffary– Carl Williams

• CTO Executive Committee


15

North American IPv6 Task Force• Subchapter of the IPv6 Forum,

Non-profit volunteer body• Promote the deployment of IPv6

across North America• Provide technology and transition

input to support North American deployment efforts

– Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security, Independent Software Vendors, and Commercial Service Providers

• Provide business, promotional, educational, and technical center of expertise for IPv6 in North America

– To any entity building, deploying, or developing IPv6 for deployment

• Continue to lead the Moonv6 IPv6 Network Pilot

– Expand that backbone peering network as a worldwide IPv6 backbone Network Pilot

• Develop IPv6 deployment technology usage guides as required.

• Wiki• NAv6TF Sub-chapters

– California IPv6 Task Force – MidAtlantic IPv6 Task Force – Canadian IPv6 Task Force – Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force
