3. RNP IPv6 Backbone • The project was initiated at February of 2001, and entered in operation on November of that same year • Goal: Provision of native IPv6 connectivity to our customers • It uses the same network infrastructure used in the IPv4 service (production service) • IPv6 addresses of production, allocated by the LACNIC (prefix 2001:12F0::/32) • Currently it connects seven Brazilian states plus our federal capital (Brasilia)

4. RNP IPv6 Backbone

5. RNP IPv6 Backbone • Routers with dual-stack: same equipment used in the production service • IPv6 over PoS, IPv6 over ATM and tunnels (IPv6/IPv4) • RIPng is the protocol of internal rounting • BGP4+ for external routing • Cisco routers with IOS images 12.2(14)S

6. Peerings • Currently we have peering with eight other networks: • Abilene / Internet 2 (native) • University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development • AMPath (native) • The AmericasPATH Network • Renater (tunnel) • Reseau National de telecommunications pour la Technologie descr: l'Enseignement et la Recherche • RCCN (tunnel) • RCCN - Rede da Comunidade Cientifica Nacional / Portugal

7. Peerings • ESnet(tunnel) • The Energy Sciences Network • NTT Com / Verio (tunnel) • NTT Communications USA • Telefônica Brazil (native) • Telefônica Empresas SA • Comite Gestor da Internet no Brasil (native)

8. Participants • Currently five education and research institutions participate in the project: • CBPF - Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas: IPv6 portal http://mesonpi.cat.cbpf.br/ipv6/ • UFRJ - Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro • UFPR – Universidade Federal do Paraná : IPv6 portalhttp://www.pop-pr.rnp.br • UFRGS - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul : IPv6 NAPAndrey Vedana Andreoli <andrey@penta.ufrgs.br> • UFSC - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina

9. Other IPv6 activities in LA&C region • The Mexican NREN, CUDI, organised a IPv6 workshop in February 2004, with contributions from other LA&C countries: • Website at www.cudi.edu.mx/aplicaciones/dias_cudi/dia_cudi27_02_04.htmlContributions from • Argentina • Brazil • Chile • Mexico

10. Other IPv6 activities in LA&C region Argentina (www.cudi.edu.mx/aplicaciones/dias_cudi/27_02_04/IPv6_RETINA.pdf) . First activities in 2002 . Production addressing since 2003 . Native IPv6 partially implemented in national backbone . Peering with Abilene . Application development at two universities

11. Other IPv6 activities in LA&C region • Chile (www.cudi.edu.mx/aplicaciones/dias_cudi/27_02_04/IPv6_REUNA.pdf) • In use since 2002 • Production addressing since 2003. Currently uses native IPv6 on backbone with native peering to Abilene • Multicast: participates in M6bone through U. of Guadalajara, Mexico, and uses of v/c tools (VIC/RAT/SDR) of RENATER3 • Experimental G-REUNA testbed maintains one lambda for IPv6

12. Other IPv6 activities in LA&C region • Mexico (www.cudi.edu.mx/aplicaciones/dias_cudi/27_02_04/Introduccion.pdf) • CUDI (NREN) since 2000 • Native connectivity on part of backbone • Native and tunneled peering with Abilene • M6bone participation through U of Guadalajara
