IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2009 Based on responses from the APNIC community APNIC29, 4 March 2010 By Miwa Fujii, Senior IPv6 Program Specialist, APNIC
Overview • Background of IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey • Data • Findings and Analysis • Future plan
First of all… • Thank you so much for your participation in this survey during Sept 2009 • Survey period = 15/09/2009 – 02/10/2009 • Valid APNIC region responses = 429 • From 37 economies in the APNIC region
What is this survey? • RIPE NCC designed this survey in collaboration with TNO and GNKS Consult • Sponsored by European Commission (EC) • Inspired by the work conducted by ARIN and CAIDA in 2008 in the ARIN region • APNIC joined this survey • Keen to identify current IPv6 deployment status through empirical data • Survey period: • 15/09/2009 – 02/10/2009
Background of the survey • Original intention of this survey • Inform EC what could be done to ensure a smooth transition to IPv6 • Help EC understand the scope of the problem • Identify the bottlenecks • Propose useful ideas to support the transition • APNIC agrees about the above principles • APNIC will circulate the outcomes from relevant organisations
Objectives of the survey • To present the comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and projections of IPv6 deployment • To share the empirical data with wider Internet multi stakeholders in the AP region • To help them to understand current IPv6 deployment status • To help them to clarify issues • The first step to find constructive solutions
Overview of responses • 429 respondents from 37 economies in the AP region • 76% of respondents have an APNIC account • 74% of respondents works for profit organizations
Economies responded n=429
Respondent categories n=429
Usage of IPv6 connectivity (ISPs only) • What percentage of your customer base using IPv6 connectivity?
IPv6 address allocations and assignments Does your organization have, or consider having an IPv6 allocation and/or assignment? n=429
IPv6 address allocations and assignments (only ISPs) Does your organization have, or consider having an IPv6 allocation and/or assignment? n=192
No IPv6 yet (28% of 429):Biggest hurdles? What do you expect to be the biggest hurdles for your organisation if you were to deploy IPv6? n=118
Have IPv6 (72% of 429): n=311
Have IPv6 (72% of 429):Biggest hurdles? What are likely to be the biggest hurdles when deploying IPv6? n=311
Have IPv6 (72% of 429):Problems in production? What are the biggest problems with IPv6 in production? n=311
Finding 3 Assumption vs. reality: Biggest hurdles when deploying IPv6 n=118 n=311
Finding 1 • ISPs in the APNIC region: • Consider promoting IPv6 uptake to their customers • Yes 52% + Maybe 35% = 87% • Have or consider having an IPv6 allocation and/or assignment • Yes 71% • No 29%
APNIC IPv6 Readiness Survey Conducted in Dec 2008 • Deployed or ready for immediate deployment? • Formal plan for future deployment? • Budgeted for future deployment?
Analysis 1 • Majority respondents from ISPs in the APNIC region positively consider promoting IPv6 to their customers • Good news! • 71% respondents from ISPs in the APNIC region have or are considering getting IPv6 addresses • Good news! • IPv6 Kickstart policy (implemented in Feb 2010) will help such momentum
Finding 2 • Why don’t 29% of the total respondents (429) consider having an IPv6 allocation/assignment? • Don’t see business need = 58% • Communication Service Providers doesn’t support IPv6 = 42% • ISPs doesn’t support IPv6 = 19% • 62% of the organistaions already have or are considering an IPv6 allocation and/or assignment because: • They want to be ahead of the game
Analysis 2 • IPv6 is a business continuity issue • Need to reframe your thinking on “don’t see business need” • IPv6 is a reality • Don’t be left behind! • To ISPs: if your customers think so, you need to provide more information to educate them • Service providers, system integrators, and hosting centers • Customers can choose a service provider • Don’t be left behind!
Finding 3 Assumption vs. reality What are likely to be the biggest hurdles when deploying IPv6? n=118 n=311
Analysis 3 • Attention to gaps: • Deploying IPv6 will be costly? • “Cost” is relative to organisations so we need to be careful to reach a simple conclusion • However worth to conduct serious cost benefit analysis now • You may find “An attempt is sometimes easier than expected” • Lack of vendor support • Need to raise your voice to vendors now! • Information security • Need to implement IPv6 in planed manner, not like a last minute dirty job • “An attempt is sometimes more difficult than expected”
Finding 4 • What are the biggest problems with IPv6 in production? • Lack of user demand = 50% • Technical problems = 38% • No experience yet = 36%
Analysis 4 • Lack of user demand could be due to: • Lack of understanding about necessity to adopt IPv6 by your customers • Enterprises’ IT cycle – it may take one to two years to implement • They need to start planning now! • Educating your customer is the key • Technical problems + No experience yet • “An attempt is sometimes more difficult than expected” • Plan and test!
Finding 5 Nature of your organisation’s IPv6 production services Your organisation’s IPv6 setup
Analysis 5 • Obviously, dual-stack is the most adopted methods = 81% • Native IPv6 = 49% • Good news! • Tunneled IPv6 (excluding automatic tunneling) = 31% • Consideration points • Capsulation overhead may have negative impact to IPv6 throughput • IPv6 traffic may depend on reliability of IPv4 connection
Finding 6 • Amount of IPv6 traffic • IPv6 traffic is insignificant = 77% • IPv6 traffic is non-negligible but less than IPv4 traffic = 17% • IPv6 traffic is same as IPv4 traffic = 3% • IPv6 traffic is greater than IPv4 traffic = 3%
Analysis 6 • IPv6 traffic is emerging • About 20% of respondents see some level of IPv6 traffic • Encouraging news! • Traffic comes from edges • Google turned on IPv6 support for YouTube • Sending a spike of IPv6 traffic • Need to encourage content providers to adopt IPv6
Finally… • 95% indicated their willingness to respond again in 2010 • Sometime around June • We would like to seek your cooperation to measure IPv6 implementation in this region! • Thank you!
Thank you! <miwa@apnic.net>
