IPv6

TF-NGN Budapest

17-18 October 2002

Agenda

• m6bone and Paris M5 update (Bernard)• New IPv6 Land Speed Record (Avgust)• GÉANT IPv6 deployment (Roberto)• Use of AS8933/QTPVSIX – Hitachi/Juniper?• GÉANT D9.9 deliverable summary• 6NET update (Janos/others)• SAINT 2003 workshop paper• NREN activity reports• Discussion of IPv6 deployment/apps/drivers• Discussion of future IPv6 work

m6bone + Juniper M5

• Presentation by Bernard Tuy (Renater)

IPv6 Land Speed Record

• Presentation by Avgust Jauk (ARNES)

• Record established from ARNES-RedIRIS– on RedIRIS side: Miguel Angel Sotos

GÉANT IPv6 Deployment Status

• Presentation by Roberto Sabatino (DANTE)

Use of AS8933/QTPVSIX

• TF-NGN group holds QTPVSIX 6bone prefix: 3ffe:8030::/28

• DANTE holds AS8933

• Formerly used for Telebit router testbed

• Proposal to re-create the AS testbed– Use Hitachi GR2000 and Juniper M5– Define experiments

• interop, multicast, multihoming

New GTPv6 testbed

• Plan to be discussed…• Initial plan could be

– Set up GR2000 at Southampton (or ULCC)– Test BGP peering (e.g. to JANET)– Configure and test PIM-SM RP– Determine common IGP with Juniper M5– Extend “backbone” to Paris

• Initially would have to be a tunnelled link

– Offer connections using old address plan• Allocate new prefixes using old plan (a /34 per partner)

– Update 6bone registry entries to GTPV6 name

GTPv6 experiments

• Specific items not necessarily covered in 6NET or possible at present– Interoperability

• Different routers, including non-6NET partners

– Multicast network• AS-wide RP, consistent unicast/multicast routing• Examine inter-domain RP protocols

– As yet undefined – some ideas

– Multihoming• GTPV6 prefix offers alternative connectivity

– Ixia IPv6 test equipment/software should be available

Summary of D9.6 deliverable

• Report of 2001/02 activities, including:– m6bone multicast network

• Runs within France and EU, and Africa.

– Juniper M5 testbed– NREN deployments

• National deployments are an important topic

– Low-cost PC-based routers (inc. Zebra)

• Available online:– www.dante.net/tf-ngn/D9.6-IPv6_test.pdf

6NET update (Janos/others)

• WP0: Project management (Cisco)• WP1: network deployment (DANTE)

– Backbone up and running since May 2002.– 15Mbit/s, some parts rising to 2.5Gbit/s in 2003

• WP2: transition (Southampton)– Site and NREN/backbone tools/scenarios

• WP3: basic network services (ACOnet)– Multicast, DNS, security, routing, registry work

• WP4: advanced network services (Lancaster)– MIPv6, QoS, VPNs, Multihoming, WLANs

SAINT 2003 Paper

• IEEE Workshop in Feb 2003– Florida, USA (proceedings will be published)

• Networks in Europe, US, Japan and elsewhere invited to present work– One paper on GÉANT/6NET/Euro6IX/IST (4 pages)– One paper on NREN activities (4 pages)– Inputs needed by this weekend

• 2-3 paragraphs on achievements and challenges ahead

– WIDE and Abilene already included– (no travel cost support!)

NREN IPv6 activities…

• Reports from any/all…

IPv6 deployment discussion

• Open questions –– Missing pieces for IPv6 operationally? (*)– What applications are needed?– Which end user communities?– What drivers for deployment?– Where might IPv6-only be used?– “I have IPv6 on my desktop, now what?”

– (*) I-D exists, also reporting in 6NET D2.5.1

GTPv6 future work?

• What would you like to see?– Engage NRENs– Complement 6NET– …
