Why IPv6?


In The Beginning...

The Problem?

SIP NAT


Oh, and by the way...

(sorry... we still have NAT-like networks with IPv6...)


And then there is...


IPv6 Challenges: User Interfaces


See the problem?


IPv4

192.168.20.12


IPv6

2001:db8:34a5:23:aa1f:12f4:9009:1234


IPv6 Address Compression

2001:db8:34a5:0:0:0:0:1

2001:db8:34a5::1 (oh, and they aren’t case-sensitive)


IPv6 Addresses

127.0.0.1 ::1

0.0.0.0 ::


DNS is your friend!


IPv6 Challenges: Port Numbers


IPv4 Port Numbers

192.168.20.12:5060


IPv4 Port Numbers in IPv6?

192.168.20.12:5060

2001:db8:34a5::1234:5060


IPv6 Port Numbers

[2001:db8:34a5::1234]:5060


IPv6 addressing

sip:dan@[2001:db8:34a5::1234]

sip:dan@[2001:db8:34a5::1234]:5060


DNS is your friend!


IPv6 Challenge: Multiple Addresses


IPv4 – Single Address / Interface

192.168.20.12


IPv6 – Multiple Addresses / Interface

192.168.20.12

2001:db8:34a5:92:21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80 (global)

fe80::21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80 (link-local)


IPv6 – Neighbor Discovery

No More DHCP For Address Assignment

(well, unless you want it)

Router Advertisements vs ARP


IPv6 – Address Creation

2001:db8:34a5:92:21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80

Router Advertisement

Autoconfiguration from Ethernet Address


DNS is your friend!


IPv6 Challenges: DNS


IPv4 and DNS

example.com 3600 IN A 192.168.20.12


IPv6 and DNS

example.com 3600 IN A 192.168.20.12

example.com 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8:34a5::1234


IPv6 DNS Fun

What if DNS gives a AAAA....

but your system doesn’t have “real” IPv6 connectivity?

(You can retrieve AAAA records over IPv4)


UNhappy Eyeballs

You

DNS Svr

example.com A 192.168.20.12 example.com AAAA 2001:db8:34a5::1234

AAAA

(a long time later...)

A

IPv6 Challenges: Storing IP Addresses


How Do You Store IP Addresses?

Memory? Databases?

Config Files?

Room for two? (or more?)


Config Files

IPv4/IPv6 Fun

Communicating between IPv4 client and IPv6 client through a proxy

§  Record-Route: <sip:2001:db8::1;lr>

§  Record-Route: <sip:192.0.2.1;lr>

Mixed communication across a path of proxies

Mixed communication: IPv6 for SIP, IPv4 for media


IPv6 and SDP

Only allows a single IP address per media stream (“c=“ parameter)

§  c=IN IP4 192.168.20.12

§  c=IN IP6 2001:db8:34a5::1234

Multiple proposals for additional SDP parameters

§  ex. ANAT - RFC 4091 & 4092 – now deprecated by ICE

The IETF way forward is ICE – RFC 5245


NAT, NAT, NAT...

STUN, TURN, ICE

(RFC 5245)


Discovery of SIP Servers

User agents need to find SIP servers/proxies

DHCPv6

§  SIP Options in RFC 3319

DNS SRV, NAPTR and AAAA Records (RFC 3263)


Other IPv6 Considerations

Other interfaces

§  Web and management systems

§  Logging

§  APIs

Custom SIP headers

Multi-vendor interoperability

SBC and firewall support for SIP over IPv6


SIPNOC 2011 IPv6 BOF

April 2011 BOF at SIPNOC 2011 in Herndon, VA

Identified potential actions:

§  Migration plans: collecting and publicizing plans that are available, helping find others

§  Identification of interoperability tests or test plans that include IPv6 and SIP

§  Providing case studies of successful migrations

§  Listing SIP-related tools/services/products that support IPv6

§  General education around IPv6 and SIP / real-time communication

Created new mailing list:

§  sipforum.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6
