: FCCN's Possible Contributions Rute Sofia/Carlos Friaças {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt Brussels September 2003
IPv6 in Portugal • 1994: researching in IPv6 issues (University of Lisbon; University of Coimbra) • 1996: University of Lisbon, one of the first pseudo-TLAs in 6BONE; one of the first Linux IPv6 stacks implemented at Univ. Lisbon (Pedro Roque) References: Internet Protocol Journal, 6BONE History Linux IPv6 Howto, 2.2 History of IPv6 in Linux {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt
FCCN • Portuguese NREN, started to operate in 1987 • Manages RCTS, the Portuguese Research and Education Network (which includes 12K schools and libraries) • ccTLD .pt – http://www.dns.pt • Manages Gigapix – The Portuguese IXP (since 1995) • Involved in IPv6 deployment for 5 years • Coordinates the Portuguese IPv6 Task-Force • URL: http://www.fccn.pt/ {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt
FCCN and IPv6 • 2002: Native IPv6 (E1) between RCTS and RNP, Brazil • 2003: GIGAPIX[The Portuguese Internet eXchange Point] • March: Started with FCCN, Vodafone and Telepac • Now:20 members, 5 of which IPv4/IPv6 • 2003: RCTS backbone IS dual-stack • 3rd NREN to connect natively to GEANT (following Renater and Rediris) • Intra-AS: IS-IS and OSPFv3 (not everywhere); • Topology: two-stars (Lisbon and Oporto); IPv6 tunneling gateways in both spots provide IPv6 connectivity. {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt
FCCN & 6NET • WHY: improve current IPv6 services and RCTS infrastructure • Our offer : NREN experience in IPv6 deployment • Contributions • Workgroups WP2, WP3, WP5 {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt
WP2 • Activities • 2.2. Investigate IPv4 to IPv6 transition for NRENs • 2.3 Investigate IPv4 to IPv6 transition for site (Universities) networks • FCCN's contribution: • Update of D.2.2.3; provide information about our current IPv6 deployment (similarly to other NRENs) • Contribute to the testing of transition mechanisms, e.g., 6to4 {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt
WP3 • Activities • 3.2., DNS and DHCP • DNS testing (milestone M3.3) • FCCN's contribution • Detailing our DNS experience in RCTS • Experience as ccTLD .pt • Contribute to the testing of DNS solutions {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt
WP5 • Activities • GGF involvement • Streaming application testing • FCCN's contribution • Currently, finishing a GGF informational draft on IPv4 dependencies of GGF specifications (deadline Sep. 19th) • Contribute to the testing of streaming applications, e.g., Gnomemeeting, VOCAL {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt
Current Situation • Officially, not in 6NET yet • No equipment, no circuits, no funding acknowledged • Questions • Contributions make sense in current context? • Can we propose tasks, e.g., for WP5, testing of some other applications? • How/when can we have access to the 6NET infrastructure? {rsofia,cfriacas}@fccn.pt
