National IPv6 Council
The National IPv6 Council was established by MEWC in 2004
Functions: To provide leadership, and strategic planning for IPv6 implementation
Members: MEWC, MOF, EPU, MAMPU, MOSTI, MCMC, and ISPs
by 2006
ISPs
Government by 2008
The country by 2010

4. Current IPv6 Status in Malaysia
IPv6 is identified as one of 8 key Infrastructure areas under MyICMS 886 strategy
Under the RMK-9 ( ) IPv6 is highlighted as one of 3 technologies that the Ministry of Energy Water and Communication (MEWC) will priorities
MYREN, a national research education network has an IPv6 dual stack deployed linking 12 Universities and research centers

6. Government Initiatives on IPv6
Initiatives in RMK‐9
MYREN Phase II: To encourage local R&D institutions and industry to collaborate with local and international research institutions
Migration from IPv4 to IPv6
More efforts to improve information security to enhance confidentiality, integrity and availability of online information system
Technology focus areas to be emphasized ‐semiconductors and microelectronics, IPv6, grid computing, language engineering and information security

7. IPv6 Deployment in Malaysia
The IPv6 Pilot Project was introduced in accordance with the National IPv6 Council’s vision of an IPv6-enabled Malaysia by 2010
One of the major milestones is to ensure that government agencies are IPv6-enabled by 2008
Two government agencies have been chosen to initiate the Pilot project, they are:
The Pilot Projects will be pioneering the deployment of IPv6 in Malaysia
Will function as reference and guideline for IPv6 deployment and adoption, focusing on the Malaysian government agencies.
Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications (KTAK)
Malaysian Administration Modernization and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU)

8. IPv6 Deployment in Malaysia
IPv6 Pilot Project
The step by step approach was taken to ensure that the migration would be free of any technical glitches or security issues.
The project comprise of 4 phases
The IPv6 deployment was done in a gradual manner adopting several well recognized transition mechanisms
Dual-Stack
Tunneling
Translation
Isolated deployment
Expanding the infrastructure
Production Implementation
Commercial Services

9. IPv6 Deployment in Malaysia
IPv6 Pilot Project Objectives
Establish basic IPv6 capability in network devices located at the peering points, backbone, and Center LAN backbones.
Basic IPv6 capability is defined here as being able to transport and route in dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) mode, and that all devices that are configured in dual-stack mode must be able to interoperate with each other.

16. IPv6 Deployment in Malaysia
Project Problems & Considerations
Available Budget & Time
Gathering accurate information
Devices with hardwired addresses
Important architecture devices that are not, and will never be, IPv6 capable (RFID time management)
Variance across the agency in capabilities as budget becomes available

IPv6 deployment for other government agencies.
Key agencies have been identified and IPv6 deployment timelines had been made available
Participating agencies include:
SUK Selangor
Malaka State
Ministry of Finance
and more..
