  3. Preparing for Future Communications The Internet Architecture is based on the Internet Protocol (IP). This protocol connects different network elements like router, servers, hosts, computers, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices, mobile phones, sensors etc. This protocol specifies that each device should have a unique address to communicate globally with other devices on the Network. This address is known as the “IP Address”.

  4. Internet Protocol & IP Address IP Address The Internet Protocol (IP) specifies that each device (router, servers, hosts, computers, Radio Frequency Identification devices (RFID) , mobile phones, sensors etc. )on a network should have a unique address to communicate globally with other devices on the Network. ROLE OF IP ADDRESS ? 11/18/2014 4

  5. IP Address Schemes IPV4 Address (Present) IPV6 Address (Future) • Total Addresses = 2^32 = 4 billion • Some addresses are reserved for special purposes like private networks or multicast addresses. However practicall only 250 million addresses are usable. Total Addresses = 2^128 = 340 billion, billion, billion, billion 11/18/2014

  6. Where do IP addresses come from? End user Standards Allocation Allocation Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) distribute IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the Internet community RIRs maintain accurate registration of Internet resource usage for the community Assignment

  7. Why our country needs adequate IP Addresses ?

  8. * Immediate Requirement within a year, which is expected to increase rapidly

  9. Adequate IP Addresses for the following • Next Generation Networks (NGN) • All types of Communication devices in 4G scenario • For expanding the country’s e-governance infrastructure • Organizational Networks, Public servers and websites etc. ALL Communication Networks and Devices will need IP Addresses 9

  10. World IPv4 Address Scenario http://www.bgpexpert.com/addressespercountry.php

  11. IPv4 Consumption: Projection Expected IANA Pool Depletion - October 2011 Expected RIR Pool Depletion - August 2012 Current Availability = 16 blocks (of /8 addresses) = 268 million for whole world Consumption ~ 2 blocks / month 11

  12. Only 18.5 million IPv4 addresses for a population of 1.2 billion in India. But the requirement for IP addresses will keep increasing with new services, new networks, new applications. Telecommunications will be largest consumer of IP addresses in coming years (Broadband, 3G, NGN, 4G, LTE etc.) IPv4 is a diminishing resource and is very costly compared to IPv6 right now and will be more costlier with passage of time IPv6 is the only solution ! Solution ? 12

  13. How IPv6 will help ? • Large Address Space – 128-bit addressing scheme, practically unlimited addresses to connect every possible device • End to End Communication – Useful from Security angle since every device on the network can be traced, not possible in IPv4 due to NAT (Network Address Translation) • Improved Security using IPSec – Mandatory implementation in IPv6 ensures that all transmission is secured • Support for 4G, NGN – IP is mandatory in 4G technologies like LTE and NGN implementations, so IPv6 is only option • IP Mobility – Cellular telephony like features in IP networks is possible – new “Greenfield Applications” possible

  14. Initiatives by Government Various issues on IPv6 were deliberated at different levels in DoT, DIT,TRAI and other Stakeholders during previous years based on which Telecom Commission in 2009 entrusted TEC for IPv6 related activities in addition to others

  15. IPv6 Activities of TEC

  16. Workshops conducted by TEC • Training Programme with APNIC, Australia (25-26th Nov 2009, Mumbai) • MoU with the IPV6 Forum for IPv6 Activities in India • International Summit with IPv6 Forum (15-16th Dec 2009, New Delhi) • Appointment of Nodal Officers in Central & State Govt. Departments for IPv6 Deployment

  17. Some Important Extracts from Workshops Suitable policy framework by Govt. for smooth Transition. Specific deadlines for Transition Creation of IPv6 Task Force and working Groups More Training and awareness activities Guidance to SME service providers and organizations on implementing IPv6 Govt. departments should take IP-based services from only IPv6 ready ISPs after a certain period of time Promoting Pilot projects in “Greenfield Applications”

  18. Few Suggested Applications for Pilot projects using IPv6 • Logistics and Supply Chain • Intelligent Transport System • Rural Emergency Healthcare System • Tele-medicine • Tele-education • Smartgrids • Smart Buildings • (Many more such applications are available) Different Ministries, Government Departments and Organizations in Private Sector can come forward to Work on these and similar Pilot Projects.

  19. Based on various IPv6 activities and discussions with stakeholders a need for a suitable policy was felt for timely implementation of IPv6 in the country. Accordingly TEC has prepared the “National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap”, which has been approved by the Government and has been released by Hon’ble MOC&IT in July 2010. • Actionable Points of “National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap” • All major Service providers (having at least 10,000 internet customers or STM-1 bandwidth) will target to handle IPv6 traffic and offer IPv6 services by December-2011. • All central and State government ministries and departments, including its PSUs, shall start using IPv6 services by March-2012. • Formation of the IPv6 Task Force with the proposed structure.

  20. IPv6 Task Force • The Task Force will broadly have the following units – • Working Groups ( 9 ) • Steering Committee (1) • Oversight Committee (1)

  21. Functions of Different Working Groups • WG-1 (Training and Awareness for ~ 250,000 persons) • Hands-on trainings in association with APNIC, IISc and other organizations • IPv6 Certification programmes for qualified engineers • Trainings for nodal officers from government • Conducting Workshops, seminars and conferences • WG-2 (IPv6 Network Implementation) • Studying the different network scenarios and make action plans for individual service providers / organizations. • WG-3 (IPv6 Standards and Specifications) • Coordinate with TEC for development of common IPv6 specifications for the country, which will be followed by all stakeholders.

  22. Functions of Different Working Groups • WG-4 (India6 Network) • To study, plan and prepare a project report for building a nationwide IPv6 Carrier Network called “Transition Pipe”, which will be entrusted to one of the operators • WG-5 (Experimental IPv6 Network) • Study, plan and prepare to build this network, which can then be used for experimentation by different vendors and organizations both from the public and the private sector.

  23. Functions of Different Working Groups • WG-6 (Pilot Projects on “Greenfield Applications”) • Prepare Plans, project reports, funding models and coordinate with different government and service providers to take up the deployment of such pilot projects to demonstrate the IPv6 capabilities • WG-7 (Application Support) • Facilitate the transition of existing content and applications and development of new content and applications on IPv6. • WG-8 (Knowledge Resource Development) • To ensure active participation of the educational institutes • Involved in the change of curriculum to include study of IPv6 as a subject.

  24. Functions of Different Working Groups • WG-9 (IPv6 Implementation in Government) • Coordinate with different state Governments & central Government departments for implementation of IPv6 • Guidance on solving problems related to implementation of IPv6 • Members will be drawn from Experts in the field & nodal officers in various government departments for active participation

  25. Proposed Lead Organizations for Working Groups Note: Each working Group will be headed by a Lead Organization

  26. Stakeholders in IPv6 Deployment • DoT/TEC • DIT (NIC, NIXI, ERNET etc.) • Different Government Departments (Central & State) • Industry Associations (COAI , AUSPI ,CMAI, TEMA, ISPAI etc.) • All telecom and internet service providers • Cable TV Industry representatives • Educational Institutions (IITs, IISc, NIITs etc.) • IPv6 Forum, IPTV Forum etc. • Equipment Vendors • Content Providers • Software vendors
