High Level Strategies to Successful IPv6 Deployments

• Formed in 1989

• Open to everyone

• Creates policies based on consensus

• RIPE Working Groups

• Formed in 1992

• Secretariat for the RIPE community

• RIR for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia

• 12,000 members and growing

• Not-for-profit

IPv4 Policy in the RIPE Region• We still have IPv4 addresses left - more than a /8

in the available pool- Every member can get 1,024 addresses (/22)- Block reserved for Internet Exchange Points

• You can also transfer IPv4 addresses between RIPE NCC members

• Recently an inter-RIR transfer policy was accepted, working on implementation

IPv4 Address Market in KSA• In the last two years, RIPE NCC transferred a

total of almost 2 million IPv4 addresses to members in KSA

• Most address space comes from Romanian members

• Around $10 per address; around $20 million in total

IPv4 Address Market in KSA• After the transfers there are 8,231,168 IPv4

addresses

• 30 million residents • 0.27 IPv4 address per capita

• 20 million internet users • 0.41 IPv4 address per internet user

8


IPv6 Policy in the Region• RIPE Document ripe-641 • If you are a RIPE NCC member:

– Minimum allocation size is a /32 – Up to a /29 without additional justification

• If you are not a RIPE NCC member: – Find a sponsoring LIR (member) – Minimum size is a /48 – Only for own infrastructure

9


Recent IPv6 Policy Changes• Members:

– Can now transfer IPv6 allocations within the RIPE NCC service region

– Do not need to have an IPv6 allocation in order to request their last /22 IPv4 allocation

10


IPv6 Addresses in KSA• There are 83 RIPE NCC members in KSA • Together they have:

– IPv6 in KSA: 129,433,600/ 48s – IPv6 in KSA: 420,644 IPv6/ Capita

• Making the Internet of Things and the future of the Internet scalable and operable

11


Long-term Evolution (4G)• LTE has an all-IP flat architecture

– Makes it ideal for IoT applications • IPv6 support is integrated in the LTE design

– It is difficult to do LTE without IPv6 • IPv6 provides a long-term, scalable solution with

fewer operational and maintenance issues than IPv4 networks deployed in NAT (Network Address Translator) environments

Internet of Things• IoT is a conglomeration of devices that have

means of interconnecting, collecting and/or processing raw data

14


Internet of Things• The current IoT industry is cluttered with

proprietary solutions • We have to avoid creating silos that make

interoperability impossible • The only way to build a scalable and

interoperable future with IoT is IPv6

15


The Internet of Things is Here

The Possibilities are Endless….With IPv6

17


Deploying IPv6 to End Users• Belgium has over 30% end users on IPv6

18


Their Success Story• Cooperation in the Belgian IPv6 Council • Bringing the two cable operators and the largest

ADSL provider in Belgium together – Sharing operational issues – Making a little competition: who would be the first to

launch IPv6? – And celebrating success together!

19


Launching IPv6• Both operators decided to connect their

customers via dual stack • Starting with a friendly customer trial

– Not to overload their helpdesk – If their helpdesk could handle the amount of calls, they would expand the customer base gradually

• The helpdesk did not receive extra calls about IPv6 so they added larger volumes

• Resulting in 3.3 million happy IPv6 end users

Norway - commercial IPv6 up to 10%• Two parallell tracks:

– Government and Industry • Cable provider get.no first to launch a opt-in trial

and some months later dual-stack as default • Telenor - Incumbent - made IPv6 part of their

network upgrade project. • Altibox - fibre provider - opt in IPv6 • Major newspaper vg.no

Other Countries• In Germany, both DTAG and Deutsche Kabel

provide new customers with dual stack – 19.88% of German population uses IPv6

• MEO, a subsidiary of Portugal Telecom, shows about 20% IPv6 coverage

• 17% of Internet users in Peru are IPv6 capable

29


Hosting on IPv6• It is very hard to obtain IPv6 measurements on

hosting providers – Even when they offer IPv6, it usually requires customer intervention, such as DNS entries, to use it

• Several large providers offer IPv6 by default – Hetzner (Germany), Softlayer (Global) – Akamai can provide IPv6 on demand

• Services like Cloudflare can enable you on IPv6 – Using IPv6-IPv4 translation in their systems

30


ripe-554• “Requirements for IPv6 in ICT Equipment”

– Best current practices describing what to ask for when requesting IPv6 support

– Useful for tenders and RFPs – Adopted by various governments (Germany, Sweden)

ripe-631• “Troubleshooting for ISP Helpdesks”

– Most ISP connectivity problems are not IPv6-related – Helpdesks can get confused - IPv6 is new for them – A generic troubleshooting guide can help – Based on the open source testipv6.com tool – Customisable
