The Internet industry is undergoing a fundamental change as it transitions from IPv4 to IPv6. These slides are from the May 2011 webcast which provided an introduction to IPv6, covering the various issues and concerns about this new protocol, as well as the opportunities it offers. The webcast featured Limor Schafman and Dale Geesey, IPv6 experts, discussing what IPv6 is, why it’s different, its advantages, the transition period from IPv4 and how organizations should start preparing. You can view the webcast on the Commtouch Slideshare page.

6. Session: An Introduction to IPv6 Limor Schafman Dale Geesey Speakers:

7. What is IPv6 IPv6 – Internet Protocol version 6 Exists many years Gaining increased public knowledge

8. The History of Internet Protocol

9. The History of Internet Protocol Packet switching developed in the 50’s & 60’s First versions of IP introduced in the 70’s for US Department of Defense programs Highly survivable communications system Production use in the 80’s on US DARPANET and then the Internet 90s saw the explosion of IP use on the Internet Easier more economical than other networks

10. The History of Internet Protocol Too few addresses initially selected Didn’t realize how big Internet would get Arbitrarily selected 232 About 4.3 Billion addresses Internet initially an experiment

11. The History of Internet Protocol Nobody imagined what the Internet would become Did not envision the number and types of devices that would connect to the Internet 2014 – 50 Billion individual elements on the Internet

12. The History of Internet Protocol With IPv4 didn’t know where Internet was going IPv4

13. The History of Internet Protocol With IPv4 didn’t know where Internet was going Today similar questions of where Internet will go in the future IPv4 IPv6

14. The History of Internet Protocol With IPv4 didn’t know where Internet was going Today similar questions of where Internet will go in the future Exponentialgrowth IPv6 IPv4 IPv6

15. The end of IPv4?

16. ICANN IPv4 Addresses 4.3 Billion IPv4 addresses are running out

17. The end of IPv4? Africa United States, Canada, parts of theCaribbean Asia Pacific Latin America, parts of theCaribbean Europe, Middle East, Central Asia ISPs, companies, etc.

18. The end of IPv4? February 2011 Africa United States, Canada, parts of theCaribbean Asia Pacific Latin America, parts of theCaribbean Europe, Middle East, Central Asia ISPs, companies, etc.

19. The end of IPv4? February 2011 6 month supply or less ISPs, companies, etc.

22. Connecting to Internet NAT – Network Address Translation NAT Public IP Address

23. Connecting to Internet NAT – Network Address Translation NAT Public IP Address

24. Connecting to Internet Today often have 10s of thousands of people using one IP address With fewer IP addresses, this will become harder, resulting in Potential for breakages – won’t be able to connect More layered devices to allow more to connect, at a cost of lower quality for services Won’t see a collapse of Internet access, but will affect value added services

25. What is IPv6

26. What is IPv6 Developed in early 90s First version out in mid-to-late 90s Continues to be developed Designed to overcome limitations in IPv4

27. What is IPv6 First issue was to deal with addressing Went from 232 to 2128 IPv4 Addresses IPv6 Addresses 4.3 Billion (4.3×109) 340 Undecillion (3.4×1038) 4,300,000,000 340,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

28. What is IPv6 Security another major issue to deal with IPsec was retrofitted to IPv4, but built in to IPv6 from the start On the technical side… Introduced fixed headers to enable new capabilities not possible with IPv4 Extension Headers to enable a new stream of innovations

29. Impacts of IPv6

30. Impacts of IPv6 Ability to develop networks that provide less gatekeepers in the way IPv6 global addressing enables you to… Minimize devices Minimize delay Simplify development Headers allow development of new quality and streaming services

31. IPv6 Myths & Concerns

32. Myths & Concerns Concern – it’s new Less experience deploying New code to develop Don’t have same time to understand and work out bugs Concern – Training and understanding There are differences – lack of IPv6 expertise Concern – Idea of using globally routed addresses Uncomfortable for some security professionals

33. Myths & Concerns Most networks already have IPv6 Need to be aware of this

34. IPv6 Deployment

35. IPv6 Deployment Deployed since late 90s early 2000s Large deployment last 4-5 years Most major carriers offer IPv6 Most operating systems, many applications support IPv6 A number of service and content providers offer IPv6 services Examples: Google, Netflix, Facebook

36. Impact on Service Providers

37. Impact on Service Providers Need to be looking at IPv6 if you’re not yet Demand from IPv6 will come from government agencies and organizations Eventually demand from businesses and consumer users If you’re a service provider need to look at How to fit IPv6 into your infrastructure Strategically, what new services will IPv6 enable you to offer

38. Impact on Service Providers IPv6 offers a product and market opportunity Will impact on a product, strategic and business development basis Types of services to offer Types of customers to seek out to take advantage of new opportunities Your infrastructure needs to support end-user demand Video streaming, voice, and other new capabilities

39. Opportunities for Security Vendors

40. Opportunities for Security Vendors Tremendous room for growth Will help governments, businesses, service providers to implement policies Some of the pieces will be the same as IPv4, such as firewalls Some of the ways we do security will change, such as spam filtering Greater move to host-based security

41. Opportunities for Security Vendors IPv6 is the perfect protocol for implementing cloud-based solutions Security will be an essential part of this

42. Transitioning to IPv6

43. Transitioning to IPv6 Many resources available, such as Regional Internet Registries ARIN: http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/Main_Page APNIC: http://www.apnic.net/community/ipv6-program RIPE: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/ipv6 AfriNIC: http://www.afrinic.net/IPv6/index.htm LACNIC: http://portalipv6.lacnic.net/en

44. Transitioning to IPv6 You need an IPv6 transition plan Map out what you have today, what you need to do and how you need to do it TRANSITION IPV6 IPV4

45. Transitioning to IPv6 You need an IPv6 transition plan Map out what you have today, what you need to do and how you need to do it Short term: Get interoperable with IPv6 very quickly, even if you don’t support new features Long term: Plan for how you’re going to do things in the future Simplify, cut costs and improve performance

46. Final Thoughts

47. Final Thoughts If you haven’t started implementing IPv6, then its critical that you start Implement something to gain experience and understand IPv6 Make sure all equipment you buy today is IPv6 enabled Does it have capabilities that you need Plan Try Buy Correctly
