Observations

•  IPv6 deployment is increasing steadily –  But varies among regions, economies, and individual ASNs –  Not happening simultaneously –  Some economies and ASNs have been very active in terms of IPv6

deployment •  Particularly mobile network, cloud services and cable TV operators •  Regional smaller size operators shows higher level of IPv6 readiness •  Once they enable IPv6 in their network and handsets, their end user

readiness grows VERY rapidly •  It impacts to strongly respective economy’s IPv6 readiness level

Case study: Korea SK Telecom

•  Deployed IPv6 transition technology (464xlat) in July 2014 –  Providing IPv4 services over an IPv6-only network

•  Stable operation

•  Why did SKT adopt IPv6 in their mobile networks? –  To lower CAPEX for Network Address Translator (NAT) –  To reduce pressure on CGN/NAT address translation devices –  To reduce operational complexity on managing duplicated networks –  Korean government’s encouragement

http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/AS22394, 18/10/2015

19/10/2015: IPv6 capable = 89.96

Case study: Verizon Wireless

•  Deployed DS network in 2012

•  Why did Verizon Wireless decide to deploy IPv6? –  IPv6 allows VZW to provide globally routable addresses again

•  No more NAT •  High quality connection

–  IPv6 allows VZW to support accelerated growth of mobile

•  VZW made a conscious decision to support IPv6 as part of LTE deployment –  LTE core addresses using IPv6 –  Dual Stack support on LTE User Equipment

T-Mobile USA

27


19/10/2015: IPv6 capable = 75.46

Case Study: T-Mobile USA

•  Lack of IPv4 address space combined with rapid growth in “always-on” devices prompted a re-think on IP addressing strategy in late 2009 –  IPv4 does not fit the business need –  IPv6 deployment in 3GPP is easy

•  Feasibility study and impact assessment on IPv6 deployment took about 9 months –  Introduction feature to handsets is a slow and careful process

•  T-Mobile USA started an IPv6 friendly user trial in 2010 on their 2G/3G/HSPA network –  Settled with IPv6-only + 464xlat transition technology to make everything work

with IPv6-only

•  T-Mobile USA did not spend any CAPEX to deploy IPv6

•  End users will be assigned with IPv6 as a default –  No IPv4 addresses will be assigned

IPv6 for mobile network operators

•  Verizon: deployed Dual Stack network in 2012

•  T-Mobile USA: deployed 464XLAT in 2013

•  SK Telecom: deployed 464XLAT in 2014

•  Telstra Australia: Testing 464XLAT currently testing

•  Telenor Norway

•  Orange Poland

29

Observation on 464xlat

•  Transition mechanisms like 464xlat work and can boost IPv6 capability in the right circumstances –  Android devices show remarkably high, consistent level of IPv6

capability –  Will not make sense for a company with large iOS handset

deployment at the moment

•  With Google, Facebook, Cloudflare, Akamai now routinely supporting dual-stack content –  It is likely a significant % of traffic flows over IPv6 and reduces

pressure on the CGN/NAT requirement for IPv4

•  Helps to avoid pitfalls of legacy IPv4-only broadband deployments

iOS and 464xlat

•  Apple made a decision (June 2015) NOT to implement 464xlat mechanisms –  iOS devices on a IPv6 cellular network do not support 464xlat.

•  Therefore where there is significant iOS deployment, 464xlat excludes iOS

•  Can we see this?

T-Mobile

•  We know T-Mobile USA deployed 464xlat –  Pure IPv6 with translation for IPv4

•  It’s predominantly a Cellular provider with some WiFi services

•  It should have a strong signal of IPv6 capability –  With no significant iOS usage

Conclusion

Mobile networks

•  The business competency of mobile network operators: –  Shifting from being a traditional voice and messaging provider to a

mobile broadband service provider –  Services on voice, messaging and data are converging on IP based

services –  Rapidly increasing LTE deployment in the region

•  Decision makers’ (mobile network operators) view –  Ready to move to Voice over LTE? –  Mobile cloud computing on top of the LTE network? –  What are key building blocks for all-IP strategy? –  What is your strategy to be innovative in the future – IoT?
