IPv6 is a Priority All T-Mobile users, with few exceptions, have non-routable
addresses and NAT44 to the Internet
Very difficult to scale and manage NAT44 capacity, AJAX and
other web technologies driving hundreds of sessions per user
(see NTT report …)
Large operators have to choose between BOGONs or overlapping
RFC1918 space, each have pros and cons
T-Mobile USA has limited public addresses
VZW has 30x the public IP space that T-Mobile USA has, but T-
Mobile is very good at LSN
NAT44 and can sustain current session growth for another ~5
year
CGN/LSN is a risk to Femto cells, UMA, and FMC in general
IPv6 is needed to continue growth and avoid
scaling issues on NAT44

The IP Address Environment
IPv4 end-point addressing is exhausted, majority of TMO mobile data users have BOGON addresses with NAT44 to keep pace with mobile data subscriber growth
Smartphones are driving a very large amount of network signaling as they create and teardown bearers
Data subscribers keep growing as well as the amount of time a subscriber is attached to the data network (always-on)
EOY 2012, projections indicate ~50% of user traffic can be served by IPv6 end-to-end -- World IPv6 Week ?
Any change to handsets drives substantial cost and drives out lead time
There is no traditional business case for IPv6, have to rely on less compelling story about business continuity and exposure to upside of innovation in IPv6 combine with low cost to deploy
Leaders like Google and Comcast have shown IPv6 is relevant
![Page 21: Cameron - TMO IPv6 Norway Meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5568d8dbd8b42a173c8b5352/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
T-Mobile USA’s Path to IPv6 (as a new service, incrementally per handset model deployment)
Dual-stack + NAT44
Drives 2x the PDP and thus 2x the cost directly via contract or
indirectly via utilization (bearer setup, mobility events …)
Relies on IPv4 addresses that legitimately are not available
Two different transports make troubleshooting at the user level
more difficult, harder to isolate the variables
IPv6-only + NAT64/DNS64
Cost neutral for packet core (single PDP) and drives down cost of
NATs as IPv6 content goes up (AAAA)
Familiar architecture to today (1 PDP + NAT function)
Enhances current NAT with DNS64 load steering functionality,
NAT no longer must be “on path”
Positively incentivizes use of IPv6 in the content network to by-
pass NAT

Deployment Lessons • Make business case based on risk
• The business understands scarce resource, and they understand RIR
rejections have hurt us before
• The business likes bling, IPv6 is bling. “Google, Facebook, and
[Your Name Here] is deploying IPv6”
• Quantify it as much a possible. The case is that we can do a little effort
over 18-24 months to bring-up IPv6 at a low cost and reduce our corporate
risk profile and IPv4 exhaustion exposure. Or, we can do a rush job in
24 to 36 months and pay dearly
• Engage the enthusiast
• Engineers wants to work on impactful projects, “upside of innovation”
• Build a lab and a beta offering, better to learn with somebody who cares
about IPv6, vs someone who only cares that IE being broken
• Create a roadmap, create an executive steering committee, track progress
• Saying we need everything yesterday seldom works, especially without
customers demanding it
• RIPE 501? CPE/UE? Training?

Things to Keep in Mind Content, Applications, and Services will be better served via end-to-end IPv6,
not NAT44 or NAT64.
In 3GPP networks, the UE always request IPv4, IPv6, or v4v6 at the start of
each sessions. All 3 types can coexist which allows migration to IPv6 on a
device by device basis
IPv4 Literals are a bad practice and will break our shared customers
IPv4 address embedded in HTML / XML or applications, issue explained
well, but no good solution
Commonly found in video streaming content
IPv4 Literals represent major breakage in the IPv6-only network.
PLEASE USE FQDNs SO DNS64 CAN WORK, FQDNS ARE EASY
AND NOBODY WANTS CONTENT TO BREAK
Customers will not tolerate broken content, they will move on to content that
works. Best for the content owner to control the IPv6 experience by providing
native IPv6 services, and not depend on CGN / LSN
Must be mindful of security, but security != stateful network firewall
Digital divide considerations

Opt-in vs. Opt-out of IPv6
28
IPv6-Only has limitations today for legacy applications on
advance handsets, netbooks and laptops like Skype
But, it is a good choice for basic data devices that
focus on web and email
IPv4 is not going away. IPv4-only + NAT44 will be maintain as
long as needed, but we need to
start the migration to IPv6-only where
it fits. We cannot let corner cases stop
the progress of IPv6. We cannot wait
perfect.
