  1. IPv6 Status in Saudi ArabiaMay 10, 2011Dr. Sulaiman Mirdad Deputy Governor, IT Sector, CITC

  2. Internet and Broadband Penetration Broadband Market Evolution (2001-2010) Internet Market Evolution (2001-2010)

  3. IPv4 Current State (May 2011) IPv4 Status Locally 3.8 Million IPv4 Addresses 88.68 % Advertised 0.339 IPv4 Address Per Capita (Source: http://resources.potaroo.net/iso3166/v4cc.html ) Biggest IPv4 Allocations /13 block equates to 524,288 IPs /14 block equates to 262,144 IPs /15 block equates to 131,072 IPs /16 block equates to 65,536 IPs

  4. IPv4 Depletion Source: “The IPv4 Address Report” By Geoff Huston http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/ IPv4 Depletion Predictions at IANA and RIRs Feb 2011 RIRs Depletion August 2011 Today IANA Depletion February 2011

  5. Expected RIRs Depletion Source: Geoff Huston,(APNIC) and Mark Townsley(CISCO) There are different estimations, but all indicates that remaining IPv4 block will not stay for long

  6. Adoption of IPv6 in Saudi Arabia • Mid 2007 CITC has started efforts for promoting the adoption of IPv6 in Saudi Arabia. • CITC has launched the IPv6 project as part of the Internet Services Development Plan. • The main objective of the IPv6 Project is to ensure the continuous development of the Internet in the country: • Raise awareness • Promote the deployment of IPv6 in the country • Ensure smooth adaption of IPv6 by stakeholders and minimize risks

  7. Proposed Objectives &Strategy Tracks Strategy Tracks

  8. Milestones & Timeline

  9. Saudi Arabia IPv6 Task Force Achievements • 1st IPv6 workshop was held in 2009 with more than 300 attendees. • Nine taskforce meetings were held and sponsored by the taskforce members • The number of the Saudi entities that have IPv6 address space increased from 2 only in 2008 to 20 today. • Some entities have started to provide their services through IPv6, (KACST, Mobily, Sahara and CITC). • IPv6 test lab was built by CITC, and it is available for members. • The Saudi DNS root server (.saccTLD ) is IPv6 support. • Saudi Arabia Tunnel Broker was built by CITC to offer IPv6 connectivity for any internet user in Saudi Arabia. • CITC has conducted three IPv6 Training for entities and individuals. • CITC, MENOG, and RIPE have just organized the IPv4/IPv6 BGP Routing Training.

  11. Awareness • 1st IPv6 workshop was held in 2009 with more than 300 attendees. • This second workshop • Nine taskforce meetings were held and sponsored by the taskforce members. • IPv6 websites • IPv6 training sessions (more to come) • CITC locally developed one day training program • IPv6 Roadshow.

  12. CITC Technical Setup IPv6 Test LAB: • Interested clients (ISP, government institute, enterprise…) can connect to the ipv6 test lab using ipv6 over ipv4 tunnel. • NO dedicated link is needed, just internet connectivity with a static IP address. • Client can then test CITC ipv6 offered services (Web, DNS,…).

  13. CITC Technical Setup IPv6 Tunnel Broker • Offering IPv6 connectivity for internet users in Saudi Arabia. • Working behind NAT. • Free national service. • In-House software. • Source code is available.

IPv6 Status in Saudi Arabia RIPE tool showing the percentage of Autonomous Systems announcing IPv6 networks on Internet in Saudi Arabia compared to the rest of world July, 2008, CITC Launched first IPv6 Task Force meeting Mid 2007, early 2008, CITC started to promote IPv6 As seen at http://v6asns.ripe.net/v/6 May, 2011

  15. Thank You! • CITC is participating in the IPv6 day with 5 sites:

  16. IP Address Management IPv4 Address Delegation Hierarchy RIRs Geographical Scope Available Free Space RIRs LIRs ISPs End Users May 2010: 122 LIRs in KSA (Source: RIPE NCC)

  17. IPv4 Address Space • Status of each of the 256 /8s from the NRO report (http://www.nro.net/statistics/), As of March 2011 3rd of February 2011, IANA has assigned the last /8 IPv4 block

  18. IPv6 Address Space • How much has been allocated to the RIRs? • from the NRO report (http://www.nro.net/statistics/index.html)
