Agenda 1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
Network Status • Built a new IPv6 cloud • IPv6 upstream providers • Level3 • First FBP in KSA to offer IPv6 connectivity • Trails with IPv6 over 3G network
Network Status • For Service providers • We are Ready and serving. • Through IPv4 tunnel • For End Users • In the near future

Transition Plan • Phase I • Dual Stack network • Each user has IPv4 and IPv6 addresses • Phase II • Users have IPv6 address only • Access IPv4 through Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) • NAT64 • DNS64
Network Challenges • IPv6 is a new network • Limited support on IPv6 • IPv4 Tier-1 providers ≠ IPv6 Teir-1 Providers • Network Management • Some management devices doesn’t support IPv6 • Little experience on managing IPv6 network • Access network • Limited availability of IPv6 supported modems • Upgrading current modems
Transition Challenges • No more IPv4 addresses • Dual Stack will not last for long time • The forecast of IPv4 depletion was 2012 • limited content on IPv6 network • Introduce IPv6 to IPv4 NATing (CGN) • Use Private IPv4 addresses • End Users • due to additional costs associated with the upgrade. • Some users applications doesn’t support IPv6.
Agenda 1 2 3 4
Recommendation • Content providers in KSA • Connect to IPv6 network • Buy IPv6-ready devices. • Make sure your devices support the features that you need • No NATing in IPv6 • NAT is not a security protocol • Train your team on IPv6 • Attend MENOG workshops on IPv6
