  1. IPv6 Business Activities in Europe Patrick COCQUET, 6WIND CEO, IPv6 Forum VP www.6wind.com réf. : 6W 01/064

  2. Summary • 6WIND, the IPv6 company • IPv6 European policy • R&D programs • IPv6 Task Force • IPv6 deployment • IPv6 Business: key drivers & players • IPv6 is going to be deployed from the Edge • Example of 6WINDGate deployment • Conclusion réf. : 6W 01/064

  3. 6WIND Briefly 6WIND, The IPv6 Company! • Starting date: September 2000 • Spin-off from the Dassault / Thomson-CSF • Leverage experience of 6 years on IP R&D activities • Founding member of the IPv6 Forum (VP) • Staff including 25 high level engineers, experts in IP protocol design and equipment architecture design réf. : 6W 01/064

  4. 6WIND Positioning Products & Technology 6WINDEdge 6WINDGate réf. : 6W 01/064

  5. IPv6 in Europe • The actors • Research labs • Research and Educational Networks • Telcos, ISPs • Industry • The catalysts • National and European R&D Programs • Organizations: ETSI, IPv6 Forum, G6… • No strong political push • No incentive to develop business, only today on R&D programs réf. : 6W 01/064

  6. IPv6, a strategic goal in most National & European R&D programs réf. : 6W 01/064

  7. MISSION: • Gathering the (global) experts, to predict, plan for, and shape the future of the Digital Information Society • Providing the opportunity for discussions, in order to encourage the worldwide deployment of IPv6. Topics include: • emerging technologies, legacy networks, • convergence, interoperability, regulation, • standards,applications, services, business practices, … • Results and recommendations to be reported back to Spanish Presidency next year.

  8. IPv6 Task Force Working Groups: • Internet Infrastructure • Mobile Wireless; • Next Generation Applications; • Trials framework

  16. Business Driven Migration IPv6 and new services Services Security Migration Benefits • New services • Gain market share Multicast Mobility QoS IPv4 Number of Internet Appliances • Migration Constraints • No D Day • Be seamless • No service interruption réf. : 6W 01/064

  17. IPv6 Business in Europe • We are just at the beginning! • In Europe IPv6 Networks will be deployed first for their new service capacities • Mobile • Push • Peer to peer • Offering QoS & Security réf. : 6W 01/064

  18. IPv6 Networks Commercial Services • Today only 2 commercial offers from TELIA and TELECOM ITALIA • Trials in all historical telcos (FT, BT, DT…) • New ISPs are also testing! réf. : 6W 01/064

  26. Firewall Proxies (HTTP, SMTP, …) INTERNET IPv4 or IPv6 packet filtering DMZ Protected IPv4 or IPv6 LAN IP FILTERING FOR FIREWALLS • IP packet processing : • Allow, Discard, Divert, Forward • To be combined with IPSec VPN for global security réf. : 6W 01/064

  27. IPv6 cloud IPv6 cloud IPv6 cloud IPv4/v6 MIGRATION MECHANISMS Mechanisms Automatic tunnels Configured v6 in v4 tunnels 6to4, ISATAP Configured v4 in v6 tunnels IPv4 or IPv6 non secure backbone IPv4 backbone réf. : 6W 01/064

  28. IPv6 MOBILITY Correspondent Node IP in IP encapsulation Home agent Mobile (Care of address) Proxy Mobile (Home address) Address binding réf. : 6W 01/064

  29. 6WINDGate existing FEATURES • QoS: • EF, AF for IPv4 and IPv6 • Dynamic QoS configuration • Security: • IPSEC, IKE for IPv4 and IPv6 X509 certificates • IPv4 and IPv6 filtering for firewalls • Dynamic Security configuration • IPv6 / IPv4: • Both stacks • 6to4, • v6 into v4 tunnels (automatic and configured) • v4 into v6 tunnels • Routing: • RIP and RIPv6 • Mobile IPv6: • Home Agent • Management: • CLI • SNMP agent with standard and IPv6 MIB • NMS tool integrated in a SNMP framework • Similar management for IPv4 and IPv6 réf. : 6W 01/064

  30. IP v4 or v6 backbone GRAPHICAL MANAGEMENT CENTER ARCHITECTURE Example with 6WINDGate QoS, Security & v6 Migration functions in one device QoS features 6WINDGate IPv4 or/and v6 LANs 6WINDGate Firewall v4/v6 (IP Filtering) IPSEC Tunnels (VPN) 6WINDGate IPv6 & IPv4 transition tunnels réf. : 6W 01/064

  31. CONCLUSION • In Europe, the shortage of addresses is not yet a problem for current networks, it will become one with wireless deployment or new applications deployment • ISPs need first to increase their profit and gain market shares. Investments has to be preserved! • So, the best solution is to deploy IPv6 at the border of the networks, with value added services. • We are marketing new services, new applications, new network use! réf. : 6W 01/064
