  1. Transition to v6 getting to Yes The IP transition challenge IEC London Christian de Larrinaga cdel@firsthand.net London 27th March 2006

  2. It’s not the first time!

  3. Getting to Yes takes leadership • Tell the truth ... Not Why ...When • IP layer is special & IP layer now includes IPv6 • IP is strategic layer not tactical • So apply to business strategy (not tactical) • Position yourself into the adopter chain • Early ----- > late • Identify potential winners for your business

  4. The detail • Deal with tactical myths and objections • v6 has failed, expensive, nobody asks for it, no applications, difficult to justify investment, v4 works, OK if vendors offer it. We don’t choose technology • Understand what is current status • Standards, Implementations, Infrastructure, vendors, applications and users, • Understand your community • Locations, staff, customers, partners, • Have a transition strategy • Be ready

  5. How do we get to Yes?

  6. Global activities • IETF - standardisation • IPv6 Forum • IPv6 Task Forces

  7. IPv6 transition in UK • UK Task Force (formed 2001) • Informal activity – no funding, no staff, no office • BCS, IntellectUK, The CMA, IEEE, UKERNA, JISC, LINX, Nominet UK, CBI, OII, ISOC UK, UKUUG, RIPE NCC, EU Commission, DTI, MoD, Cabinet Office, Number 10 Policy Unit, a number of businesses in and around Internet and telecommunications. • Steering team of enthusiasts • Peter Kirstein (UCL), John King (BT), Charlie Lewis (426.com) Tim Chown (UoS), C. de Larrinaga (Voex & ISOC), Chris Edwards/Martin Dunmore UoLancaster

  8. Activities • Events • Public lectures & briefings, Private briefings • Presentations, Conferences, Tutorials • Liaison • EU & Global IPv6 Task Forces, IPv6 Forum, IETF, RIPE NCC • Gov: DTI, MoD, EU, Cabinet Office, Prime Minister’s Pol Unit • Industry organisations: LINX, Nominet, UKERNA, IntellectUK, CMA, BCS • Promotion • Janet, Nominet for .uk, IXP’s, Government, Industry • Surveys • IPv6 ISP Survey & IPv6 Enterprise Survey • Specials • e.g., City of London

  9. UK IPv6 User & Enterprise Survey 2004/5 • Private invitation surveys through major UK IT organisations in December 2004 • 189 responses • 83% use NAT • 1% support v6 • 25% trade with Asian partners who are deploying IPv6 • 27% have considered transition

  10. ISP Survey for LINX • 26 ISP’s responded • 71% considered migrating to add value • Want greater impetus to move ISP’s to IPv6 • IPv6 seen as inevitable • Due to competition & market forces • Drawbacks • Overheads and complexity, Multi Homing • Only 38% have IPv6 trained personnel • 50% of hosts now support IPv6

  11. Next Steps • Resource for IPv6 awareness • UK networks to offer IPv6 to customers • Establish an IPv6 related event in UK • Surveys for 2006 • V6 equipment “bake out” • promote & co-ordinate key IPv6 leadership • Operators and Networks • Key customer communities e.g., Gov, City, IT, Education, Health
