Welcome to Signing of MOU Between Telecommunication Engineering Centre & IPv6 Promotion Council, Japan 1st October, 2010
IPv6 Initiatives by Government Various issues on IPv6 were deliberated at different levels in DoT, DIT, TRAI and other Stakeholders during previous years based on which Telecom Commission in 2009 entrusted TEC for IPv6 related activities
Initiatives by Government • Letters by Secretary(T), DoT to all Central and State Government Departments for • Procurement of only IPv6 compliant ICT equipments in future • Replacement of existing IPv4 based ICT equipments in a phased manner • Memorandum of Understanding with the IPv6 Forum for various IPv6 initiatives in the country
Workshops conducted by TEC • Training Programme with APNIC, Australia (25-26th Nov 2009, Mumbai) • International Summit with IPv6 Forum (15-16th Dec 2009, New Delhi) • Appointment of Nodal Officers in Central & State Govt. Departments for IPv6 Deployment • MoU with the IPV6 Forum for IPv6 Activities in India

IPv6 Standards for India • TEC is developing the Standards Document for IPv6 Testing, which will be released in this financial year. • Standards Document based on International Practices & the framework released by IPv6 Forum under the IPv6 Ready Logo Programme • Need for IPv6 Test bed for testing these standards • Organizations can set up the Test Beds and apply for accreditation to TEC/IPv6 Ready Logo
Based on various IPv6 activities and discussions with stakeholders a need for a suitable policy was felt for timely implementation of IPv6 in the country. Accordingly TEC has prepared the “National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap”, which has been approved by the Government and was released by Hon’ble MOC&IT in July 2010 • Actionable Points of “National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap” • All major Service providers (having at least 10,000 internet customers or STM-1 bandwidth) will target to handle IPv6 traffic and offer IPv6 services by December-2011. • All central and State government ministries and departments, including its PSUs, shall start using IPv6 services by March-2012. • Formation of the IPv6 Task Force with the proposed structure.
Follow Up Actions to Implement Policy • Letters to all Secretaries of Centre, Secretary(IT) & Chief Secretaries of States • for implementation of government Policy and • appointment of nodal officer if not already done • Responses received from State Governments/UTs (19/35) • Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Lakshdweep, Punjab, Chandigarh Administration, Orissa, Bihar, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, MP, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujrat, UP, Kerala, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Assam
Follow Up Actions to Implement Policy • Responses Received from Central Government Departments • Total Departments = 94 • Responses received = 55 • Nominations received for Nodal officers from different wings of the Departments = 96
Follow Up Actions to Implement Policy • Letters to 12 important central ministries for nominations in the Task Force • Ministry of Defence • Ministry of Finance • Ministry of Health and Family Welfare • Ministry of Home Affairs • Ministry of HRD • Ministry of Power • Ministry of Railways • Ministry of Shipping, Road transport & Highways • Ministry of Science and Technology • Ministry of Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation • Ministry of Information and Broadcasting • Ministry of Petroleum and natural Gas
Meetings to Implement Policy Meeting with Principal Secretary(IT), UP on 19th August 2010 Meeting with Telecom Service Providers on 27th August 2010 Meeting with Nodal Officers of Central Govt. Departments & Ministries on 31st August 2010 Review Meeting for discussing Lead/Co-lead organizations for WG in Task Force, 13th September 2010 Meeting with Secretary(IT), Orissa on 22nd September 2010
Proposed Meetings to Implement Policy Meeting with Sikkim Government on 7-8th October 2010 Meeting with Delhi Government – date to be finalized Meeting with Defence Ministry on 26th October 2010
Important Extracts from Meetings Consultancy is needed by all Central and State government departments for IPv6 Implementation Details of activities and Target dates have been circulated to all Central / state governments and Service providers Vendors of mobile handsets have to be pursued for manufacture of IPv6 compliant handsets Vendors and application developers also to be pursued for developing and supporting IPv6 applications
Important Extracts from Meetings Proper IPv6 address Planning for India by DoT/DIT Urgent need for NIR in India Demand for Security Working Group in task Force To put up a detailed FAQ on IPv6 transition on the website To give out a comprehensive list of IPv6 hardware and software compliance of networking equipments to be used as a ready reference Difficulty of address allocation from APNIC
Functions of Different Working Groups • WG-1 (Training and Awareness for ~ 250,000 persons) • Hands-on trainings in association with APNIC, IISc and other organizations • IPv6 Certification programmes for qualified engineers • Trainings for nodal officers from government • Conducting Workshops, seminars and conferences • WG-2 (IPv6 Network Implementation) • Studying the different network scenarios and make action plans for individual service providers / organizations. • WG-3 (IPv6 Standards and Specifications) • Coordinate with TEC for development of common IPv6 specifications for the country, which will be followed by all stakeholders.
Functions of Different Working Groups • WG-4 (India6 Network) • To study, plan and prepare a project report for building a nationwide IPv6 Carrier Network called “Transition Pipe”, which will be entrusted to one of the operators • WG-5 (Experimental IPv6 Network) • Study, plan and prepare to build this network, which can then be used for experimentation by different vendors and organizations both from the public and the private sector.
Functions of Different Working Groups • WG-9 (IPv6 Implementation in Government) • Coordinate with different state Governments & central Government departments for implementation of IPv6 • Guidance on solving problems related to implementation of IPv6 • Members will be drawn from Experts in the field & nodal officers in various government departments for active participation
Proposed Lead / Co-LeadOrganizationsfor Working Groups Note: Each working Group will be headed by a Lead Organization
MOU with the IPv6 Promotion Council, Japan • Today TEC will sign the MOU with v6PC, Japan • Under this MOU following activities are envisaged – • Promote IPv6 for telecommunication services • Smoothen the IPv6 transition process • Assist vendors, operators and other stakeholders in the transition • Test Bed creation for IPv6 testing • IPv6 applications in wireless sensors • IPv6 in important sectors like Health, Transportation, Environment, Public Safety • Cooperation in IPv6 trails and IPv6 pilot projects
Few Suggested Applications for Pilot projects using IPv6 • Logistics and Supply Chain (e.g.Railways, Shipping, Postal etc.) • Intelligent Transport System (e.g. Road & Surface Transport) • Intelligent Warfare (M/o of Defence) • Rural Emergency Healthcare System, Tele-Medicine (M/o Health) • Tele-education (M/o HRD) • Smartgrids (M/o Power) • Smart Buildings (M/o Urban Development, M/o Power) • Sensor based Intelligent Weather Monitoring • (Many more such applications involving other ministries are possible and implemented worldwide) • Different Ministries, Government Departments and Organizations along with Private Sector can come forward to Work on these and similar Pilot Projects. • Many ministries/Departments don’t have enough computerization but they can jumpstart directly with IPv6 without going in for legacy IPv4 networks. • Today’s Meeting is with Chairman IPv6 Ready Logo, Japan for IPv6 Applications & Projects
Conclusion • MOU with the IPv6 promotion Council, Japan will give the needed thrust to deployment of IPv6 in our Country by way of technological collaboration in deploying various IPv6 applications and Pilot Projects
