  1. Hosting Providers and IPv6

  2. Managed Service Providers and Hosting Providers are an often overlooked player • Neither a traditional ISP or a traditional Enterprise • Toolsets are often too large and too broad or not scalable enough. • Use a vast array of equipment • Switches • Routers • Load Balancers • Firewalls • IDS/IDP and other Security Products • Servers • Accessory Equipment • PDU/KVM/Terminals • Often have standalone datacenters • Often no nationwide/global Backbone • Hosting Providers

  3. Some ISP’s are giving away IPv6 Transit • Many ISP’s support Dual Stack if you ask • Existing Equipment Supports IPv6 • And has for some time • Its easy • No reason not to • IPv6 and the Hosting Provider

  4. What is right for you? • You know your existing architecture • Dual Stack • Simply add IPv6 addresses to existing equipment • Parallel • Deploy discrete infrastructure • Hybrid • Discrete for some (Like WAN Routers) • Dual stack others (Core or Edge) • Introduce an IPv6 Architecture

  5. Servicing IPv6 • Process/Route IPv6 Traffic • Supporting IPv6 • Management functions • SNMP, SYSLOG, SSH, NTP • Servicing IPv6 vs Supporting IPv6

  6. Routers • Cisco and Juniper have supported IPv6 for ages • Probably have something lying around • Switches • Ethernet Layer2 doesn’t care • Management may be IPv4 only • Load Balancers • F5 • License on 1500 product line generation • Standard on 1600 product line generation • Citrix Netscaler • Standard on 9.x • IPv6 Equipment

  7. Firewalls • Cisco • PIX/ASA 7.0+ • Juniper/Netscreen • Screen OS 5.0+ • Security Products • Snort • Juniper IDP • Gigamon • Non Compliant Devices • IPv6 to IPv4 Address Translations • IPv6 Equipment continued

  8. Monitoring • Nagios • DNS • Bind • Mail • Sendmail • IPv6 Tools

  9. ISP vs End Users • IPv6 and Multiple Discrete Networks (MDN) • NRPM 6.11 • Hosting Providers and ARIN

  10. True IPv6 Only still difficult • Management Services • Router ID • Challenges
