IPv6

TF-NGN 8

Berlin, 2nd July 2002

Agenda

• Review GTPv6 status• D9.6 GEANT deliverable• Presentations from participants

– JOIN, RENATER, POZNAN

• 6NET– Outputs, status, and urgent work required

• GEANT Y3 work (=> IPv6 on GEANT)– Define workplan

GTPv6 ongoing tasks

• Running own tests and mini-network– IPv6 multicast, interoperability– D9.6 GEANT deliverable, August 31 2002.

• Working with/on 6NET project– Understandably 6NET is getting the IPv6 focus– NRENs not involved with 6NET

• Developing work plan for IPv6 on GEANT– Migration to dual-stack on Juniper routers– Need to plan, define and schedule tests– Dual-stack within 12 months?

• Web site updates(!)

GEANT Deliverable

• D9.6– Due 31st August 2002 – need authoring help/volunteers

• Contents:– Experiments report

• Report on operation of Juniper M5 router• IPv6 multicast

– Implement international infrastructure for use by 6NET• 2.5Gbit/s links (due for 6NET Y2, January 2003)

– Study the results of 6NET• applicability to GEANT IPv6 migration (to dual-stack mode)

– Test interoperation between Cisco, Juniper and other router platforms (Hitachi at Southampton)

Participant status/presentations

• 6WIN presentation– Christian (JOIN)– Bernard (RENATER)– Tomasz + Bart (POZNAN)

• Other inputs?

6NET outputs

• Public documents on www.6net.org:– MIPv6 review– Routing architecture (IS-IS), DNS service– List of applications to be run– Slides of Limerick 6NET-Euro6IX workshop

• Ongoing:– Transition review (site, NREN, core)– List of management and monitoring tools

6NET network

• Core network is live and running• See:

– http://www.6net.org/events/joint-workshop/ciscato.pdf

• Next step is to bring online communities in NRENs– WP1 has a connections status summary list

• Needs inputs to be kept accurate

6NET WP2

• WP2 is transition• Three mini-reports due now(!)

– Site transition– NREN transition– Core transition– Reports will be useful for GEANT transition

• But need contributions…– Theory review, current experience, scenarios– Brief gathering this afternoon in break?

Euro6IX status

• Deploying IPv6 IX’s in Europe– Linking exchanges at 34Mbit/s– Deployment not due until M8 (August 2002)

• Will connect to 6NET at UK6X and Paris– UK physical link is in place

• Joint activity deliverable (D5.3 in Euro6IX)– Needs people to talk – draft is available– Deadline for deliverable is upon us– Implies some coordinated efforts

• e.g. on who ports which applications and tools

Other EU IPv6 projects

• IST FP5– 6NET, Euro6IX, 6WINIT, LONG, …– 6LINK (coordinating IPv6 Cluster)

• www.ist-ipv6.org

– IPv6 Task Force Steering Committee• www.ipv6tf.org

– New: 6POWER, 6QM, Eurov6

• IST FP6– Expressions of Interest submitted

• Other groups, e.g. RIPE IPv6 WG

GEANT Y3 work

• Focus is IPv6 deployment on GEANT– What do we need to test? How? When?– Identify architecture requirements from 6NET

• But note 6NET is designed to be IPv6-only• GEANT will be dual-stack• Perhaps study dual-stack deployment by SURFnet?

– Aim must be to be IPv6-enabled by end of Y3?– Relationship between 6NET and IPv6 GEANT?

• GEANT offering 2.5Gbit/s to 6NET in 6NET Y2

Other ideas/suggestions…

• Promotion and usage of IPv6 applications– Some coming from 6NET, Euro6IX, LONG

• Promotion and usage of IPv6 multicast– Work by RENATER and within 6NET– Need content(!)

• Use of IPv6 in TERENA mobility WG– Ad-hoc wireless networking– Network admission/authentication– Mobile IPv6
