6. North American Task Force Update Recent Developments • Progress with the US Federal Government • Jim Bound has worked diligently with Office of Management and Budget. • OMB issued letter on August 2, 2005 setting June 2008 as the date all US Federal Agencies must be using IPv6. • US Department of Commerce as released a very comprehensive IPv6 Final Report at this address: http://www.nist.gov/director/planning/policy_studies.htm

7. North American Task Force Update Recent Developments, Con’t • National Telecommunications and Information Administration has set up an infrastructure for federal departments and agencies to request IPv6 addresses and has set up a working group to further assist in the transition. • The NTIA working group will address the following items:

8. North American Task Force Update Working group will address: • How agencies should incorporate IPv6 into their enterprise architectures and strategic plans. • Talk about the technical details of how to develop a transition plan. • How to set up governance of IPv6 implementation. • Procurement and acquisition issues.

9. North American Task Force Update NAv6TF Projects, Moonv6 • An international project led by the North American IPv6 Task Force (NAv6TF) to execute deployment testing of IPv6 technology • Jointly implemented by commercial service providers, UNH-IOL, Government organizations, academic entities and network equipment vendors. • Test items are determined by network operation requirements of the US Government Agencies and commercial service providers.

10. North American Task Force Update Moonv6, Con’t • Proof of concept testing demonstrated IPv6 in action on multiple levels: • Basic Host functionality • IPv6 Multicast/Unicast Routing protocols • Basic network applications (Telnet, ICMP, HTTP, etc) • Multicast/Unicast Streaming across commercial Service Provider networks • DNS/DHCP • Firewall testing • IPsec testing using IKEv1 • QoS demonstration • VOIP demonstration • Mobility demonstration

11. North American Task Force Update • The interoperability focus will be on • Application Demonstration • Finding new applications to demonstrate • Working with large service providers • Include additional providers such as internet exchanges, long distance carriers, MSOs and other ISPs • Security • Network-level firewall demonstration • Firewall capability demonstration • Mobility • Network-level mobility demonstration • Transition Mechanisms

12. North American Task Force Update Projects, MetroNet6 • Overview:A required technology capability within the U.S. for Home Land Security is network communications between multiple forces 24x7x365 for prevention of an attack, at the point of engagement during a 911 event, and the ability for those forces to be commanded at any point in time in an Ad Hoc manner. This requires the integration of multiple technologies, 911 communications platforms, and access to an Internet Infrastructure within Home Land Security geography, and to the Office of Home Land Security in Washington D..C. The technology capability should support multiple simultaneous events engaged across the U.S. geography from a single command control selected by the National Homeland Security Office.

13. North American Task Force Update MetroNet6, Con’t • IPv6 is the core technology to build a MetroNet6 communications network, but requires other technologies to be integrated, below is an overview of the core technology integral components that require analysis: • Mobile IPv6 routing which permits MetroNet6 nodes to connect and re-connect while moving across the MetroNet6 infrastructure, and any Ad Hoc Sub-Networks joining the MetroNet6. • Large Scale network formation of new Ad Hoc Sub-Networks to join MetroNet6. • Security using a Public Key Infrastructure at the IPv6 layer that supports an absolute trust model between two peers on the MetroNet6, Ad Hoc Sub-Networks, or to National Homeland Security Office. • Integration of Homeland Security applications required for 911 operations and MetroNet6 forces. • Network Management of MetroNet6 operations and security infrastructure.

14. North American Task Force Update Projects, MetroNet6, Con’t • The project is in the process of building a prototype MetroNet6 in the State of California beginning in Sacramento, with communications city-to-city with Palo Alto. In addition, state-to-state MetroNet6 network communications would be part of the project. For city-to-city and state-to-state communications the current NAv6TF Moonv6 www.moonv6.org project can provide an IPv6 native backbone peering network to be used.
