1. A master thesis work by Christer Engman (e94_cen@e.kth.se) Network Services Telia Research AB Department of Teleinformatics Royal Institute of Technology IPv6@home

2. Agenda Home Networking IPv6 IPv6 at Home IPv6 Transition Experiments Conclusions

3. IPv6@home Home Networking Connect everything! Internet

4. IPv6@home IPv6 Supersedes IPv4 Appeared in 1992 IPv4 “full” between 2005 and 2010 Enhanced functionality Internet Protocol version 6 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Year Deadline? Appearance Today

5. IPv6@home Many nodes! 128-bit addresses Hierarchy Multiple addresses DNS IPv6 at Home Addressing 192.168.2.27 3ffe:0:2000:73b9:200:f8ff:fe32:5fc

6. IPv6@home IPv6 at Home “Just plug it in…” Autoconfiguration, AC –Neighbor Discovery –Stateless AC (router ads) –Stateful AC (DHCPv6) Related technologies –Jini (Sun) –UPnP (Microsoft) Plug and Play Router Advertisements

7. IPv6@home IPv6 at Home Mobility Future devices will be mobile Autoconfiguration Security Mobile IPv6

8. IPv6@home IPv6 at Home Multimedia Convergence of telephony, radio, TV... High performance –optimized design –“Jumbograms” QoS Multicasting

9. IPv6@home IPv6 at Home Security Important! –Autoconfiguration –Mobility –E-commerce Native IPsec –Authentication –Encryption

10. IPv6@home Strategy IPv6 Transition

11. IPv6@home IPv6 Transition Mechanisms IPv4 connectivity –NAT-PT –SOCKS/proxies –Dual-Stack (AIIH) IPv6 connectivity –6to4 –6over4 Old applications –Bump in the Stack (BIS) IPv6 IPv4 + IPv6 IPv4

12. IPv6@home Experiments Lab network setup IPv6 support Connectivity DNS Transition mechanisms

13. IPv6@home Conclusions +IPv6 delivers all required functionality +Transition mechanisms -IPv6 still work in progress -Few IPv6 implementations Too immature to deploy!

14. IPv6@home Future Work Follow the development Additional IPv6 projects/thesis works Always consider IPv6 in future projects IPv6 implementations
