  3. EGEE II achievements regarding IPv6 • Summary of EGEE II SA2 IPv6 past work and collaborations 3

  4. Main achievements in EGEE II • Definition of a methodology for IPv6 transition • Collaboration with ETICS (initially also with EuChinaGRID): set up an ETICS pilot project called glite_IPv6: • Goal: automate IPv6 compliance testing of gLite packages • A static code checker was developed in order to test the packages • Results are displayed as the “IPv6 metric” on ETICS website • A demonstration of automated IPv6 regression tests was also set up • Dissemination, including programming tutorials • Development of a first IPv6-compliant gLite node: the BDII • Building of a testbed in Paris, which allowed to show • The NAT-PT protocol usage (ex. with the ported BDII)‏ • The dual-stack environment usage (ex. with the ported BDII)‏ • Building of a testbed in Rome • Report about IPv6 compliance of gLite external dependencies 4

  5. EGEE III achievements regarding IPv6 • EGEE III SA2 IPv6 work and collaborations 5

  6. A distributed IPv6 Testbed • Follow-up of the testbeds built during EGEE II • Goals: • Test IPv6 compliance of gLite components • Demonstrate current gLite IPv6 features • Future: IPv4 non-regression tests (collaboration with SA3)‏ • One site in Rome (GARR), one site in Paris (UREC)‏ • Site-to-site IPv6 connectivity (through UREC / RAP / RENATER / GEANT / GARR networks)‏ • Many relevant deployment modules installed and configured: VOMS, UI, WMS, lcg-CE, CREAM, WNs, DPM-SE, LFC, PX, BDII, LB • All nodes are dual-stack 6

  8. IPv6 bug reporting • Analysis of the gLite source code • Using the IPv6 metric (IPv6 code checker) in ETICS • Around 110 bugs on non-compliant function calls and data structures in the code reported • This analysis effectively incited developers to work on IPv6, and is a good metric regarding the work needed on this subject. 8

  9. gLite external dependences • Analysis of all gLite external dependencies to assess their IPv6 compliance • Most of them are IPv6 compliant • MySQL is the most relevant package which is not IPv6 compliant • 6 of the 10 non-compliant packages are MySQL-subpackages • However if the server and the client run on the same dual-stack node, there is no problem. 9

  10. Other Reports • IPv6 Programming methods: • Guide to IPv6 compliant programming in C/C++, Java, Python and Perl: • Provides a sample TCP client and server for each programming language • Explains advantages/drawbacks/limitations of each language regarding IPv6 • IPv6 Testing methods: • Report explaining how to test if a TCP server is IPv6 compliant • IPv6 Test reports: • Selected IPv6 compliance studies for specific packages: • gSOAP • Axis and Axis2 • Boost:asio • gridFTP • PythonZSI • PerlSOAPLite • Assessment of the IPv6 compliance of gLite components: DPM & LFC 10 10

  11. IPv6 CARE • Developed by SA2 • Behavior: • It monitors the execution of programsand detects networking function calls • The diagnosis generated helps to assess IPv6 compliance • Very generic: you can use it for any program, even if you don’t have the source code • Available on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipv6-care 11

  12. $ ipv6_care check -v telnet localhost 9876 IPV6 CARE detected:inet_addr() with [ cp=localhost ] IPV6 CARE detected:gethostbyname() with [ name=localhost ] IPV6 CARE detected:inet_ntoa() with [ in=127.0.0.1 ] Trying 127.0.0.1... IPV6 CARE detected:socket() with [ domain=AF_INET type=SOCK_STREAM protocol=ip ] IPV6 CARE detected:connect() with [ socket=3 address.ip=127.0.0.1 address.port=9876 ] telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IPv6 diagnosis for 'telnet localhost 9876' was generated in: /tmp/ipv6_diagnosis/telnet/by_pid/pid_6541 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ IPv6 CARE: Usage example • Usage example: we want to test the “telnet” program • We run the program as usual except that we prefix the command by “ipv6_care check”: • The standard behavior of ‘telnet’ is not affected (it works as it should, see its output in black). • The diagnosis (network function calls log file, non-IPv6 compliant calls detected, etc.) can be reviewed in the mentioned directory. 12

  14. Dissemination • EGEE 08 conference, Istanbul • IPv6 session targeted at gLite developers and testers • JRA1 / SA3 All-hands meeting, Prague • “IPv6 Testing” session • IPv6 basics needed by developers & testers • IPv6 methods & tools for testing • “IPv6 Programming” session • Tutorial C/C++, Perl, Python, Java • High-level programming topic • EGEE UF / OGF, Catania • IPv6 session • Main work done / to be done about IPv6 in gLite and other middlewares • Point of view of the European Commission and of RIPE about IPv6 • A demo booth • An automatic demo script running on the testbed, showing the current IPv6 features of gLite (see next slide)‏ • A poster “gLite IPv6 compliance” • A poster “IPv6 compliance testing: dedicated tools” • An explanatory video

  15. Dissemination: the demo script • Automatic script sending commands in ssh sessions, running in the testbed environment • Content of the script: most noticeable current IPv6 features of gLite • Show that gLite is working properly in a dual-stack environment (i.e. when IPv6 is enabled on nodes)‏ • by submitting jobs and checking that they are run correctly • Show current IPv6 compliant services • Show that the prototype version of the BDII (Information System) is able to use IPv6 • Show that DPM & LFC (Storage Element) can be used over IPv6

  16. Current status of the IPv6 compliance of gLite • How far are we from having gLite fully IPv6 compliant ? 16

  19. The IPv6 Metric • Based on the results of the static code checker • Detection of non-IPv6 compliant patterns in the source code • This method is not fully accurate, but gives a good overview • Here is the evolution obtained on the gLite repository of ETICS:

  20. Next steps • What will keep us busy in the next months ? 20

  21. Future work / Outlook • To be considered • One goal was to provide results soon in order for JRA1 and SA3 to benefit from them • Consequently the most relevant initial objectives are already completed • The time (man power) initially planned for the IPv6 sub-task has been already mostly used • Main foreseen tasks • Test IPV6 compliance of ported nodes • Add an FTS node in the distributed testbed • Collaboration with SA3 for the integration of IPv6 in the validation process • Collaboration with the team responsible for the deployment tools, in order to have IPv6 enabled on nodes at installation time • Improvement of the static code checker • New overall analysis of the gLite source code and update of IPv6 non compliance bugs • Writing of the milestone document

  22. Future work / Outlook • Optional tasks: • Automation of the execution on IPv6 CARE within the ETICS test system • Automation of the IPv6 functional testing by means of the ETICS build system • Organization of tutorials on IPv6 network programming and IPv6 in general for JRA1 and SA3, if needed • Support to JRA1 for specific studies on the IPv6 compliance of packages and tools, if needed • Organization of a final demo on IPv6
