Introduction to IPv6
Deployment

Motivation to Adopt IPv6
• Larger address space for global reachability and scalability
• Simplified header for routing efficiency and performance
• Efficient support for routing and route aggregation
• Server-less auto-configuration, easier renumbering, multi-homing, and improved
plug and play support
• Security with mandatory IP Security (IPSec) support for all IPv6 devices
• Improved support for Mobile IP and mobile computing devices
• Enhanced multicast support with increased addresses and efficient mechanisms

Before Deploying IPv6
• Before beginning to plan to deploy IPv6, you should familiarize yourself with
IPv6 , Most of the definition of IPv6 is under the control of the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) refer to http://www.ietf.org
•What the others are doing !?, The IPv6 Forum was created in 1999 to promote
and advocate the IPv6 protocols and their deployment http://www.ipv6forum.com
• You need to know some IPv6 basics like:
IPv6 address types and formats
ICMPv6, neighbor discovery, security, and mobility
IPv6 routing protocol OSPFv3, BGP4+,IS-IS, RIPng, EIGRPv6
IPv6 integration and coexistence strategies ,vendors support
IPv6 host configuration (Solaris, Microsoft, and FreeBSD)
What to test in IPv6 and How !?
How to connect to the IPv6 Internet
• You need to answer questions like Why (Motivation) !?, What is your strategy,
Scope, Plan, Budget and timeline !?, and how you are going to deploy !? .
7
How to Plan Deploying IPv6 ?
Service Providers
ISPs should plan IPv6 deployment in three phases:
1.
2.
3.
Providing an IPv6 service at the customer access level
Running IPv6 within the core infrastructure itself
Interconnecting with other IPv6 service providers
Enterprises
Two key ways of evaluating and assessing IPv6 products and services are:
1.
2.
Set up an IPv6 domain and connect to an existing network
Set up two or more IPv6 domains and interconnect them over your
existing IPv4 infrastructures
8
Pre-Deployment Tasks
Before deploying IPv6,
1. Get and Plan your IPv6 address space,
(service provider) you need to register for an IPv6
address contact RIRs LIRs , (enterprise) request an IPv6
prefix from your service provider
2. Set up your DNS,
3. Select IPv6 Network management tools,
4. And select required routing protocols.
9
Deployment Strategies
A wide range of techniques have been identified and
implemented worldwide, basically falling into the following
categories:
– (1) dual-stack techniques, to allow IPv4 and
IPv6 to co-exist in the same devices and networks
– (2) tunneling techniques, to avoid dependencies
when upgrading hosts, routers, or regions
– (3) translation techniques, to allow IPv6-only
devices to communicate with IPv4-only devices
– (4) Dedicated Data Links, new IPv6 sites or
migrating existing sites.
All of these are used in combination

Etisalat Core Network
IPv6 over MPLS
IPv6 over MPLS backbones enables isolated IPv6
domains to communicate with each other over an
MPLS IPv4 core network. (Etisalat MSC is a
transparent Core network)
13
IPv6 Deployment in MPLS MultiServices Network Backbone plans
• IPv6 Fixed-Mobile Convergence Services (FMC) support
• Mobile IPv6 clients and seamless handover support
• IP multimedia subsystem (IMS-IPv6) support
• IPv6 VPN services
• IPv6 integration with MPLS/GMPLS
• IPv6 over MPLS
• MPLS based IPv6 tunneling

Emirates Internet Exchange (EMIX)
www.emix.ae
• EMIX established (1998)
, it is the first Network
Access Point (NAP), in the
GCC, Middle East and one
of the first NAPs in the
African and Asian regions,
built on multiples of STM1/STM-4 Fiber Optic
Cables.
•
•
•
40 STM-1/4 links (6200 Mbps) Total
Bandwidth
From three cable providers in the region
Flag and SMW-3 and SMW-4.
Distributed between eastern side and
western side of the world.

Etisalat IPv6 Project Objectives
• Build scalable nation-wide IPv6 native test network.
• Ensure IPv6 standards compliance for Etisalat current
and future systems.
• Establish test environment to evaluate the compliance of
hardware and software with IPv6 standards
• Work towards exposure of the IPv6 standards within
Universities, Colleges and Research Centers in UAE.
27
Contract Clause for all new tenders to confirm
IPv6 compliance. Added in year 2001
• All the supplied systems (hardware/Software) wherever IP
connectivity is required should support IPv6 and IPv4 (simultaneously
if required) with latest standards of IETF, ITU, ANSI and other
governing Communication standards.
• If the system is not compliant to the above, the supplier should indicate
the roadmap to implement IPv6 and clearly state when the system
would be compliant to IPv6. The upgrade should be free of cost.
• Further the vendor should confirm that the product would be kept
abreast with the IPv6 development.
Note:- For existing systems Concerned sections should obtain the “Statement of
Direction towards IPv6” from the Vendors who supplied those systems.
