The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved Project motivation Trends showing convergence of data and voice networks into one packet based network Packet based networks made popular by the flexibility of the WWW Push factors of convergence includes: –Easier service creation –Simpler network maintenance & management –Better utilization of bandwidth  Leads to cost savings Much more IP addresses are needed when convergence arrived, e.g. when all telephone unit has an unique IP address –Solution: IPv6

The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved Project objectives To build a testbed to demonstrate an All- IP scenario Testbed can be used for experimentations Building competencies in SIP and DiffServ

The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved Bandwidth Reservation Using Bandwidth Brokers

The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved Bandwidth Reservation DiffServ architecture was chosen QoS, in our case, bandwidth was reserved through reservation requests made to the serving Bandwidth Broker (BB) The serving BB then performs a few tasks: –Performs Authentication before Authorizing reservation –Checks user’s SLA –Does metering – checks available BW in each DiffServ class –Generates SLS and proceed to configure edge router to do marking

The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved Bandwidth Reservation If destination host is foreign to the source host, the serving BB carry out these additional tasks: –Checks next hop, i.e. which DiffServ domain the next hop will go, so as to identify which down stream BB it should make reservation –It proceed to do inter-domain reservation and an SLS is set up between the 2 BBs –In this way, the sender initiated reservation goes from BB to BB until the destination DiffServ domain is reached Reservations are tagged with durations which will expire or terminated by the originator or the network operator

The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved SIP work In addition to the QoS-enabled network, a standards-based IP telephony system was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of an All-IP network SIP was chosen as the signaling protocol for it is lightweight, scalability, and it being an effort by the IETF, it most likely will be the standard protocol to be used across the Internet The SIP server was thoroughly tested when the SIP development team went for the 11 th SIPit event held in Atlanta Our SIP stack fulfilled 100% of basic, 50% of intermediate and 30% of advanced categories requirements

The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved SIP testbed 3 User Agents (UA) were installed to demonstrate the call forwarding action The SIP server runs: –SIP stateless and/or stateful proxy server –SIP registrar server –SIP presence server With the presence server, a “click & call” feature like that of Instant Messaging where you know the online status of your contacts is made possible Both video and audio are supported The SIP UA supports both IPv4 and IPv6 (hot-switchable) Based on IETF RFC2543bis9

The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved Codes available Programs developed: –Bandwidth Broker (compliant to Internet2 proposals) that supports both intra- and inter-domain BB signaling (IPv6) –SIP UA supporting IPv4 and IPv6 –SIP server (IPv6) –JAIN compliant API SIP stack (IPv6) –Traffic generator (IPv4 and IPv6) To be released as open source, upon request

The 1st Global IPv6 Summit in AP Winston Seah Copyright © 2003 I 2 R All Rights Reserved Summary Implemented a testbed to demonstrate the All-IP scenario with mobility and QoS support. Provide bandwidth reservation, both intra- and inter-domain, using Bandwidth Brokers. Provide call signaling using SIP with mobility and QoS support. Signaling compression is being added. Everything is built on IPv6
