Why IPv6 ?

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

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!

P2P protocols are not so simple!

• 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

Multiparty transfers too
complicated to be deployed

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

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
6W02/

IPv4 routing
• Addresses scarcity and multi-homing leads to
un-aggregatable address assignments
 A lot of entries in routing tables : currently reaching
120.000
 Heavy burden for routers => instability…
Same addresses used for
ISP1 and ISP2
ISP1
2 entries for
similar addresses

ISP2

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

IPv6, a chance for the Internet
• Restoration of the Internet model with IPv6

IPv6
• 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

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

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

www.6wind.com
The 6WINIT Project
• Pilots clinical and other IPv6 applications
over wireless networks
 Uses 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 IPv6enabled – but treats also transition
• Includes Japanese, Korean partners and
Polish partners

Project Support & Infrastructure
• Project around 3.5 Euro of EC money
– 7 MEuro over 2 years
• Uses IPv6 base networks
 6NET/GEANT is the network of choice
• Has 16 partners in ten countries
• Trying to bridge gap between 3GPP and
the IETF
• Putting up real systems demonstrators
 Using GEANT as connecting network so far

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
6W02/

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
6W02/

IP version transparency
• Smart integration mechanisms
Dual stack
Two native access for the customer
Tunneling
ISP architecture dependant
Translation
End-to-end application dependant

How to introduce IPv6 (2)
• By offering customized services
 Needs arrive with the 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!

Conclusion
• 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 the 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 fix and wireless access networks
• Start now and take a leading position!
