3. Why IPv6 ?

4. Come back to origin IP was designed to allow end-to-end data transfers
Whatever the transmission technology
Offering a global addressing scheme
Implementing simple protocols and mechanisms

5. Today Reality Do you have an Internet IP address?
May be you got one if you have a permanent broadband access!
Do you think you can call anyone connected to Internet?
What you can easily do is to send/receive a file to/from a server, that’s all!

6. P2P protocols are not so simple!
LAN
Internet
LAN
NAT
NAT
NAT has been added to extend addressing capacity
Need to learn the address “outside the NAT”
Provide this address to peer
Need either NAT-aware application or application-aware NAT
May need a third party registration server to facilitate finding peers

7. Multiparty transfers too complicated to be deployed
Home LAN
Internet
Home LAN
NAT
NAT P3
With NAT, complex and brittle software
2 addresses, inside and outside
P1 provides “inside address” to P3, “outside address” to P2
Need to recognize inside, outside
P1 does not know outside address of P3 to inform P2

8. IPv4 address space IPv4 addresses coded on 32 bits
4.3 billion addresses available… in theory
Addresses are structured => a smaller number is usable (around 250 million, 40 % currently available… )
Much less than the current human population
IPv4 addresses allocated by Registries using severe policies
Difficult to get the number of addresses required
The shortage already exists

9. IPv4 routing
Addresses scarcity and multi-homing lead to un-aggregatable address assignments
A lot of entries in routing tables: currently reaching
Heavy burden for routers => instability…
Same addresses used for
ISP1 and ISP2
ISP1
2 entries for similar addresses
LAN
ISP2

10. How will IPv6 change the world?
Global addressing
Interface ID
001
TLA
NLA
SLA
13 bits
32 bits
16 bits
64 bits
Network address
Node Identifier
Public Topology
Private Topology
TLA: Top Level Aggregator (/16)
NLA: Next Level Aggregator (1/48)
SLA: Site Level Aggregator (/64)

11. How will IPv6 change the world?
Allowing
Peer-to-peer application deployment
VoIP, videoconferencing, content sharing, games…
Plug and Play
IP services have to become commodity services
IP connectivity everywhere at anytime
Efficient mobility
IP on all wireless technologies
Secured transfers

12. With IPv6, just use IPv6 addresses

13. The IPv4 Patchwork Architecture
NAT

NAT
NAT boxes manipulate the packets !!!!
Complex routing tables
No end-to-end SLA
What about always-on & mobility ?

14. The Solid IPv6 Architecture
Simple, stable network service
=> higher performance, more robust, more secure, more manageable
Enabling anyone to offer new applications and services
=> allowing rapid innovation and growth

15. IPv6 Addressing & Security
No more address translation (NAT)
The end of the switchboard!
Use of “stable” global addresses
Keep the notion of private addresses
Multiple addresses per device
Global and local ones
Global
Site-Local
Link-Local

16. IPv6: The Solution IPv4 IPv6 Everywhere 32 bit address length.
200 Million addresses,
75% in the US.
Routing table size.
128 bit address length.
Unlimited number of addresses
Routing table scalability.
Peer to peer
Difficult to implement.
NAT, proxies.
Native end to end support.
End to end QoS & Security.
Mobility
Limited support.
Built-in (auto configuration).
+ Mobile IP
Configuration
Management
More and more difficult
(NAT, proxys,
DHCP server)
Serverless autoconf.
0configuration support.
Anycast.
Router configuration.

17. IPv6 in the World
Europe: lots of trials, operational services are starting 2 1
Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, China 3
US start to consider IPv6

18. European Projects Instrumental to validate enhanced networking capacities Example with the 6WINIT Project

19. The 6WINIT Project
Pilots clinical and other IPv6 applications over wireless networks
Use GPRS, WLAN and later UMTS
Initial GPRS not IPv6-enabled, WLAN is, UMTS not available yet
Concerned with media and data applications
Concerned to make all components IPv6-enabled – but treats also transition
Includes Japanese, Korean and Polish partners

20. Project Support & Infrastructure
Project around 3.5 Euro of EC money
– 7 MEuro over 2 years
Uses IPv6-based networks
6NET/GEANT is the selected network
Has 16 partners in 10 countries
Tries to bridge gap between 3GPP and IETF
Sets up real systems demonstrators
Using GEANT as connecting network so far

24. Deployment Steps
Products are available today
SW & HW
Numerous legacy applications are running on v6, others are arriving
IPv6 is progressively integrated in network architectures
With the goal to provide value added services
IPv6 will progressively arrive in corporations and houses with the new OS versions and applications

25. How to introduce IPv6 (1)
By providing seamless IPv4 and IPv6 broadband services
The IP version migration must be transparent to the user
ISPs have to progressively deploy access and edge routers able to run both versions
Allow to progressively modify the ISP infrastructure
v6-in-v4 then v4-in-v6
No constraint on the customer

26. IP Version Transparency
Smart integration mechanisms
Dual stack
Two native access for the customer
Tunneling
ISP architecture dependant
Translation
End-to-end application dependant

27. How to introduce IPv6 (2) By offering customized services
Needs arrive with applications
Customers have different constraints
Security, reliability, investments, operational requirements…
At the right speed
Let’s invest when necessary
But start now to deploy a pilot platform to be able to build a clear transition roadmap!

The network is not responsible for software bugs
Software must be more robust
OS must include security monitoring and control functions
Trusted Platforms (ongoing Industrial alliances)

32. How will IPv6 change the world?
Always-on and everywhere connectivity
Broadband access on train, in public buildings, at gas stations..
New devices
PDA-Phone, MPx player, Game box, camera…
New systems & applications
VoIP, videoconferencing, video, TV…
E-vehicle
E-home
E-assistance
E-production …

33. Conclusion Start now and take a leading position!
IPv6 is now a reality
IPv6 is the only possible solution if we want to deploy billions of fixed and wireless terminals
All IP networks will have to move
The new IPv6 infrastructure allows the deployment of new applications based on peer-to-peer and push models
With IPv6, the use of the network becomes simpler
The first step for Telcos/ISPs is to provide IPv4/v6 broadband services on fixed and wireless access networks
Start now and take a leading position!
