  1. IPv6 and .HK Ben Lee HKIRC 01 March 2010

  2. Agenda • Why IPv6 for .hk • Roadmap of IPv6 deployment • Current status • Considerations • Further work 2

  3. Why IPv6 for .hk? • DNS is one of the most important applications of the Internet • IPv6-readiness of .hk is a pre-requisite of Hong Kong Internet IPv6 deployment • ccTLDs should avoid becoming the critical path to IPv6 deployment in the region • Be one of the first example to use IPv6 and raise awareness with the community • Promote the use of IPv6 3

  4. .hk Roadmap of IPv6 deployment • DNS resolution - Post the AAAA records and incrementally add IPv6 connectivity to some (not necessary all) DNS and • DN Registration - update registration applications to accept IPv6 glue addresses from registrants • Infrastructure – Set up a site with IPv6 transit • Registry tools – provide website, WHOIS, EPP/API over IPv6 transit 4

  5. .hk DNS with IPv6 connectivity >dig @a.root-servers.net. any hk. … snip … ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: b.dns.tw. 172800 IN A 210.201.138.58 b.dns.tw. 172800 IN AAAA 2404:0:10a0::58 ns1.hkirc.net.hk. 172800 IN A 203.119.2.18 ns2.cuhk.edu.hk. 172800 IN A 137.189.6.21 ns2.cuhk.edu.hk. 172800 IN AAAA 2405:3000:3:60::21 ns2.hkirc.net.hk. 172800 IN A 203.119.2.19 ns3.cuhk.edu.hk. 172800 IN A 202.45.188.39 sec3.apnic.net. 172800 IN A 202.12.28.140 sec3.apnic.net. 172800 IN AAAA 2001:dc0:1:0:4777::140 adns1.berkeley.edu. 172800 IN A 128.32.136.3 adns2.berkeley.edu. 172800 IN A 128.32.136.14 hk-ns.pch.net. 172800 IN A 204.61.216.46 ;; Query time: 28 msec ;; SERVER: 198.41.0.4#53(a.root-servers.net.) ;; WHEN: Tue Feb 23 16:02:29 2010 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 465 5

  6. IPv6 capable DNS software • BIND • Resolver & Server • BIND 9 - http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ • NSD • Authoritative server only • http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/ • Microsoft Windows • Resolver & Server • Windows Server 2008 R2, 2008, 2003 • Windows 7, Vista, XP SP2 6

  7. .hk now accepts IPv6 glue records • Add or Modify DN Host (Panel: Registrant, Reseller, Registry, Registrar and API ) 7

  8. .hk now accepts IPv6 glue records • Allow input of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses IPv4 IPv6 8

  9. Considerations - DNS IPv6 Operational Guidelines • Defined in RFC3901 • All recursive name servers should be IPv4 only or dual stack hosts • All zones should be served by at least one authoritative IPv4 capable host 9

  10. Considerations – DNS packet size • Size of response packet becomes larger • UDP packet size 512 bytes • not all support EDNS0 • the additional section of the response may be truncated • Some clients may fallback to TCP, hence network and server loading may increase 10

  11. Considerations – DNS packet size • Minimize the number of name servers • use anycast technology, one host name actually supported by multiple servers (technical setup with a cost) • Utilize the name compression of name servers • rename existing servers to shorter similar names • e.g. a.nic.hk, b.nic.hk, c.nic.hk, … 11

  12. Future works • Add more .hk DNS with IPv6 • Implement IPv6 in secondary site to support additional Internet services (Websites, WHOIS, API, EPP, Email) • Implement IPv6 in office to test IPv6 Internet services • Implement IPv6 in primary site • Measure the usage of IPv6 in .hk 12
