  1. IPv6: Application perspective Zaid Ali Chairman/President SFBAY ISOC www.sfbayisoc.org

  2. About SFBAY ISOC • Founded Feb 2009 to support ISOC mission • ISOC (founded 1992) • Internet is for everyone • More than 80 chapters around the world • 44 thousand individual members • Individuals who want to influence the future of the Internet • Org home for IETF & IAB.

  3. SFBAY ISOC Initiatives • Broadband technology program (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) • IPv6 technology • Trust/identity initiative • Open Standards • Cyber crime • Distance Education • Silicon Valley corporate involvement • gTLD • INET • IPv6 Panel 2010 http://www.sfbayisoc.org/join

  4. The IPv4 and IPv6 world • Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) • First developed for the original ARPANET in 1978 • Deployed globally with organic growth of the Internet as an experiment • Total of 4 billion IP addresses available (232) • Well entrenched and used by every ISP and hosting company to connect customers to the Internet • Allocated based on documented need • Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) • Design started in 1993 when IETF forecasts showed IPv4 depletion between 2010 and 2017 • Completed, tested, and available for production since 1999 • Total of 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 IP addresses available (2128). • Used and managed similar to IPv4

  7. IPv4: The situation room • Each RIR received its last /8 from IANA on 3 February 2011. • The IANA free pool of IPv4 addresses has reached 0%. • While each RIR currently has IPv4 addresses to allocate, it is impossible to predict when each RIR will run out. • As of today ARIN has roughly 5 /8 available.

  10. IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables

  11. SaaS/Applications – Ready?? • Do you have a plan?

  12. SaaS/Applications – Basic questions • How does IPv6 readiness impact my business? • Do I have my key technical staff trained? • How do I get there?

  13. SaaS/Applications – Formulate a plan • Start with a simple plan! • Setup a Tunnel broker. • Implement IPv6 on your LAN. Learn from it! • Push your transit providers – Tunnel if need be! • Put 1 web server – experiment traffic with AAAA. • Start to slowly turn on v6 in application stack. • Bring Name Server to v6. • Configure BGP/OSPF etc.

  14. Consequences of waiting • Cost!!! • Equipment • Staff training • Losing out to competitors (Mobile explosion) • Poor performance over time with NAT alternatives • Business continuity

  15. World IPv6 Day • June 8th 2011 • Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai, Limelight, Meebo, Mozilla, Juniper etc • 24 hour test flight. • http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/

  16. Vendors • Quite behind • Load balancers/Content switches • Lack of dual stack support • IPv6 support mostly in software • Must do IPv6 in Hardware (ASIC, L3 TCAM) • CPE upgrade/changed • Opportunity to pack new features and differentiate • Vendors need to drive IPv6 innovation, not wait for customer demand!

  17. Thank You
