IPv6 : Deployment for Broadband Internet SAFNOG-1 2014 Azura Mat Salim Network Architecture & Technology Planning Telekom Malaysia
Agenda • Introduction to TM • Background • High – Level implementation • IPv6 Statistics • Challenges & Observation
Introduction to TM • Largest broadband provider in Malaysia • Established in 1968 as the Telecommunications • Department of Malaysia, privatized in 1987 and • re-branded as Telekom Malaysia in 1991. 100 4.4 20 1.4 over IPv6 peering globally POPs for global coverage million homepass covered under HSBB project Million PSTN subscribers 2 million broadband subscribers 700 Thousand Kilometers' of fiber rollout
TM has deployed IPv6 beginning 2004 … • Tunnel over existing IPv4 ISP backbone • Very few customers and peering connections back then • 6PE was introduced with the new IP Core network in 2007 • PE routers are dual-stack and terminate customer circuits while the core routers remain in IPv4 MPLS • Compliance audit on network readiness in 2008 • And things remained low key until April 2011!
Requirements for IPv6 in TM broadband Internet • Scope : Internet on high-speed DSL & fiber (FTTx) for both residential and business package • Provide end-to-end IPv6 connectivity; WAN & LAN IP (globally routable) • Will work with existing PPPoE model and network elements • Continue to support existing IPv4 addresses
Network requirement to support dual-stack in the broadband ecosystem
Overall IPv6 traffic in the network increased after IPv6 for broadband was activated • Traffic increase observed although IPv6 traffic is still only <1% of TM’s Internet traffic • Daily average IPv6 traffic reaches 4Gbps • 18% of traffic is from Google CDN • Youtube. Facebook & Bittorrent are top applications using IPv6
Challenges in Deploying IPv6 to Broadband Internet • Graceful migration for ~2 Million subscribers • Dual-stack incur double resources in the network as well as IP address • Modem hardware/firmware upgrade • Vendor support for technical specification • Don’t hope for any killer applications – simply preparing this generation for Internet of Things
Observation • Misconception : IPv6 brings more bandwidth or speed than IPv4 • Much time spent in troubleshooting connectivity problems at CPE/modem • Behavior of Dual-Stack • Common Questions : • When will TM offer IPv6? • How many IP addresses will I get? • Will TM replace my modem?
