Ubiquitous IP Connectivity

Obstacles to Ubiquitous IP Connectivity  Address Shortage  Not enough IPv4 addresses available  Disproportionate allocation and increasing number of devices exacerbate the problem  NATs prevent sharing from the edge  Mobility and Roaming  Applications and network protocols break in mobile scenarios  Network Security  Always On == Always attacked!

The Promise of IPv6  Global addressing  format: 1.8E+19 networks, units  assuming IPv4 efficiency: 1E+16 networks, 1 million networks per human  Removes need to stretch addresses with NATs  Plug and Play  Simple instant-on ad hoc networking  Stateless address auto-configuration  Efficient mobility  Mobile IPv6, no reliance on Foreign Agents  Better network layer security  IPSec delivers end-to-end security  Link/Site Local addresses allow partitioning  Anonymous addresses provide privacy

The Promise of IPv6 If IPv6 is so great, how come it is not there yet?  Applications  Need upfront investment, stacks, etc.  Similar to Y2K, 32 bit vs. “clean address type”  Network  Need to ramp-up investment  No “push-button” transition networks applications

IPv6 Call to Action We need to work together to move the world to a simple ubiquitous network based on IPv6  Network Providers:  IPv6 support on all equipment is critical  Offer native IPv6 services  We should not settle for NATs for new designs  Device Vendors:  Design for the simpler, ubiquitous IPv6 Internet  Application Writers: Don’t wait on the above  Use Windows XP and Windows.NET Server NOW!  Send us feedback and requirements

Home Networks and UPnP In-Stat / MDR: March 2002* Forrester May 2002

Home Networking  High Growth Rate  33% increase in Home Network HH in 2001  Consumer use is driving demand  71% install for personal use  25% install for business / employer use  Wireless is Hot!  Multi PC HH growing from 25.7M to 40M ( )*  Broadband growing from 18.8M to 58M ( )* In-Stat / MDR: March 2002* Forrester May 2002

Networking still difficult  Networking choices continue to be fragmented…  20% intend to use , 17% intend to use Cat5 / Ethernet, 14% intend to use Power Line  Breakdown of end-to-end model impediment to new scenarios  Peer-to-Peer (P2P), Real Time Communications (RTC)

Connecting the Home  No Pain Networking  Easy-to-install, auto-provisioned, auto-configured network that works transparently yet securely  Prescriptive guidance on home wiring  The Home as a platform  A web of PCs, networked intelligent appliances, and lightweight network devices  Extend the web to the home, and the home to the web  Redefining Entertainment  Protected entertainment-quality IP A/V networking from the Internet to and through the home

The UPnP Promise Choice Components from any vendor Any operating system Any programming language Truly interoperable The WWW as a model Extensible Add customer value using vendor-specific extensions Cost effective Lightweight, royalty-free

Microsoft UPnP Commitment  Forum process that works  Encouraging participation  Better process for architecture definition  A vibrant next generation device eco-system  Windows Platform Support  Windows ME, Windows XP support UPnP V1  Longhorn will support UPnP V1 and UPnP V2  Commitment to UPnP products/solutions  Internet Gateway Device  AV Content Directory  Wireless APs ...

Conclusions  Opportunity to define a new device eco-system  IPv6 and UPnP are key ingredients  Let us do it together!
