  1. Abilene IPv6 Update Matt Zekauskas, matt@internet2.edu APAN IPv6 Task Force2006-Jan-24

  2. Outline • Still working well – it just works • Routing changes • Commercial Transit • Peering update • Native Multicast

  3. Still Working Well • Our dual-stack IPv6 network continues to perform well • As mentioned last time, active testing shows no difference between IPv4 and IPv6 performance • Changes: improving connectivity to others

  4. Routing Changes • Why: peers seeing transit routes, and for some routing is not optimal. Want to differentiate direct customer routes • What: tag own customers differently • Community strings • Peers can then decide whether to accept transit routes

  5. Transit • Want to encourage IPv6 growth • Abilene was only seeing commercial routes through one Asian peer • Sub-optimal routing • Abilene has decided to purchase transit from Global Crossing, via PAIX • Should start at the end of this week

  6. Peering Changes • Added additional commercial peer via PAIX: Speakeasy (www.speakeasy.net)

  7. Native Multicast • Added native RP to Abilene about 3 months ago • So far, only participants: • NYSERnet (NYU, Syracuse U) • Internet2’s Ann Arbor office

  8. Pointers • IPv6 working grouphttp://ipv6.internet2.edu/ • Abilenehttp://abilene.internet2.edu/ • Abilene NOC IPv6 Informationhttp://www.abilene.iu.edu/advanced.html
