IPv6 DEMO in Birmingham Network Overview Background Traffic Background Traffic Mobile Node WLAN Native IPv6 QoS Router Correspondent Node Home Agent
IPv6 DEMO in Birmingham ... • Remarks • Movement Detection / Handover (Only on layer 3) • Works on all physical link layers => No physical media dependence! • Full co-operation/interoperation with BT’s IPv6 demo • Common Applications and 6-bone connection • Quake was played over wireless link on BT’s server • Basically we ran interoperability test with BT while demonstrating our own Mobile IPv6 and QoS implementations. • Fully configurable QoS solution. • QoS is based of IETF’s Differentiated Services schema • i.e. the packet classifier set the packet TOS/CoS fields according configurable policies and the Routers scheduled the packets using these Differentiated Service Bits (TOS/CoS). • => Dynamic & fully configurable flow based QoS differentiation.

NomadicLab Network Overview Internet ECN Firewall piuha.net nomadiclab.com IPv6 Test Network
NomadicLab Intranet • Network description • Connection to the Internet • 128 IPv4 addresses, Using our own ISP piuha.net for Internet connection (24 Mbps), Connection to the 6Bone, Firewall maintained by LMF’s IS/IT personnel. • A mixture of free and commercial operating systems • FreeBSD 4.2 / Linux 2.4 / NetBSD 1.5 / Windows • The primary network for all NomadicLab members • Connection to the ECN via LMF’s firewall, Access to LMF’s Windows Terminal Server with Citrix ICA client • IPv6 and IPsec in daily use • IPv6: Used in all projects and normal office work in close cooperation with other LMF/TT departments (Tunnel broker for other LMF departments). • Ipsec (v4/v6): Used in the intranet all the time and ALSO to protect all external connections.
The IPv6 Test Network • An IPv6-only test network • All NomadicLab projects use this site • 8 x PC, 2 x Laptop • 100 Mbps Ethernet • 11 Mbps WLAN • Removable hard disk bays • Each project buys own hard disks • One server • DNS, NFS, NIS and NAT-PT • Router towards NomadicLab and 6Bone • The network is configured with SNMP • Up to 30 different VLANs • 4 NICs (Network Interface Cards) in each PC • Cables are not moved!

6WINIT: ERICSSON (Research) Objectives • Lessons learned from the demo activities: • IPv4 can (still) be used for transport (in Network) and IPv6 for the user data etc. • Ericsson (Research) Objectives: • Use the Birmingham and Hong Kong IPV6 & GPRS demos as a building blocks of the Ericsson 6WINIT network. • Use segments containing GPRS/UMTS in 6WINIT Network! • Research Objectives: • IPv4 <-> IPv6 Transition issues, Scalability of MIPv6, IPv6 protocol implementations for Wireless Links (TCPv6, UDPv6, ROCHv6, Security (IPSec, IKE, …), etc. (we are open for suggestions). • Wish List: • Use 6WINIT to build (European Wide) full scale IPv6 testbed for future wireless communications.
