Digital Giants: Google (Websearch, Streaming, Developers)

* Temporary

Google is one key supporter of IPv6 transiSon. •  Also key source of IPv6 roll-‐out stats. Google has enabled most of its services over IPv6. •  Google public DNS, Google Maps, Google APIs •  Not sSll on Google compute (Virtual machines) Youtube becomes one of the major IPv6 content traffic once users get enabled.

Digital Giants: Facebook (Social Networks, DataCenter)

* Temporary

USA Internet6 capable smartphones surf Facebook services 30-‐40% faster. IPv6 traffic to FB services DOUBLES every year. Facebook has built out many IPv6-‐only (>90% internal v6 traffic) •  Leads IPv6-‐only Datacenters / Cloud market.

Digital Giants: Apple (Mobile/Laptops , Dev Ecosystem)

Apple: “Enterprise & cellular providers are increasingly deploying IPv6 DNS64/NAT64 networks. A DNS64/NAT64 network is an IPv6-‐only network” •  ConSnues to provide access to IPv4 content through translaSon Nov 2015 iOS 9.2 & OS X 10.11.2 releases are IPv6-‐only capable. IPv6 delivery support included in many Akamai products •  Helps developers to build compaSble Apps (new and simple API to synthesize NAT64 IPv6 addresses

from IPv4 literals)

Digital Giants: AKAMAI (CDN – Content Delivery Network)

IPv6 delivery support included in many Akamai products •  Simple: flipping a configuraSon switch •  Customer prerequisite: ensure addresses data handling (logging, tracking, reputaSon) IPv6 servers in 95 countries, >1.500 locaSons & 590 different network providers In 2015 Q2 IPv4 unique addresses decreased 1.1% (to Akamai Intelligent Plaoorm) •  Result of IPv6 roll out and Telcos IPv4 conservaSve behavior (CGNAT). •  Secondary market for IPv4 addresses heaSng up (150K addresses $950,000 deal)

Digital Products: Comcast Xfinity (VoIP, Set-top box) Xfinity Voice & Xfinity X1 connected set-‐top box plaoorm moving to IPv6-‐only

•  Reduce their reliance on private IPv4 addressing within their network. •  Since they have control over both ends of communicaSons in most •  Content providers will provide contents over IPv6 to ensure best user experience

Digital Products: ANDROID, IOS, Windows (Smartphone OS)

Android, Windows 8.1 & IOS 9.2 Smartphones are IPv6-‐only capable (NAT64+DNS64) •  464xlat funcSonality enables access to legacy IPv4 services. A number of carriers led by T-‐Mobile US are deploying IPv6-‐only.

•  Handsets only have IPv6 external address. •  Traffic goes directly out to the Internet with no address translaSon.

During the past few months, AT&T Wireless and Sprint have also started deploying IPv6 to some of their Android handsets. •  In fact, all four of the top US mobile carriers launched Samsung's Galaxy S6 flagship phone with IPv6

turned on by default.

Digital Products: Openstack, Nephos6 (Cloud)

Openstack Kilo enables today public/private naSve IPv6 Clouds. New enhancements in “Kilo” release: •  Ability to assign mulSple IPv6 prefixes for a network •  BeMer IPv6 router support: there is no network address translaSon (NAT) or floaSng IP model for

IPv6 in OpenStack. The assumpSon is that VMs are assigned globally routed addresses and can communicate directly using pure L3 rouSng.

•  Extra DHCP opSons (DNS, MTU, etc.)

Digital Products: v6 Virtual Machines, Webhosting (Cloud)

As of Nov 2015 AWS is not providing IPv6 naSve Virtual Machines. However, others such as HostVirtual are providing naSve v6 VMs & Services. •  A complete list of IPv6 Cloud providers: hMp://bit.ly/1QcoQaG Cloudfare offers simple and free websites adaptaSon to IPv6.

Digital Deals: UK Smart Meter Network (m2m / IoT)

One of largest M2M/IoT deals (valued at £1.5bn over a 15-‐year lifespan) Major naSonal infrastructure project that will involve the roll out of 53 million gas and electricity meters across the UK by 2020. Comms based on IPv6 cellular m2m + 6LowPAN (IPv6-‐based wireless mesh soluSon). Telefónica’s UK unit, O2, will serve two of the project’s three regions.

IPv6: a disrupSve Internet change/innovaSon?

Amara’s Law says that we tend to overesSmate the effect of a technology in the short run and underesSmate the effect in the long run. (…) A latent capability develops, and when the final pieces fall together, a big swing occurs. (…) That seems to be happening for some of the largest operators in the world, such as Verizon Wireless, T-‐Mobile, AT&T, and Comcast reaching very high numbers in the US. With some of these operators, most of the served users have IPv6 capability.

While there is a lot of innovaSon and change in the Internet, many of us have been accustomed to the basic Internet technology changing slowly. But when the right parts come together, the changes can actually be surprisingly dramaSc and sudden. The future is here, now. Jari Arkko, IETF Chair
