  1. Event Birmingham - 10th May 2000 European strategic initiatives Mário Campolargo DG INFSO F2 DG Information Society - European Commission

  2. Contents • Role of Internet Protocol • IPv6 - going beyond IPv4 • An opportunity for Europe • Status of experimentations • Aspects of EC policy • eEurope • IST Programme projects • Conclusions

  3. Internet protocol By providing cheap end-to-end connectivity, the Internet protocol lowered the barriers to global network applications and services... IPv4... • Ensures internetworking (designed for it!) • Can be used for various types of traffic (data, voice, image, multimedia) • Combines network-level performance and cost-effectiveness • Represents today the installed base for Internet!

  4. Challenges faced by IPv4 • Address space - Growth of Internet - A single IP address • Mobile Internet - Internet services from everywhere - Removing location dependency • Security - End-to-end encryption - Data Integrity, authentication In anticipation of the increasing address space limitation of IPv4, IETF went into defining a IPng...

  5. Requirements for the new protocol • Support billions of hosts • Reduce size of routing tables • Simplify protocol, process packets faster • Provide better security (authentication & privacy) • Better QoS (particularly for real-time data) • Aid multicasting, anycasting • Make it possible for a host to roam without changing its address

  6. IPv6 characteristics • Practically unlimited address space • Simplification of packet header • Optional header fields (better support for options) • Authentication and Privacy (more Security) • More attention to type of service • Plug & Play - Better Configuration options

  7. Moving towards IPv6... Moving towards IPv6 is both a near-term and a long -term concern of network dependent businesses • equipment manufacturers • network owners • service providers and public authorities, such as the EC. For Europe, it is at the same time a challenge and an opportunity

  8. An opportunity... 235 BEuro 158 BEuro 100% 14,3 31,2 8,1 80% Fixed Telephony 8,4 60% Data Transmission Mobile Services 40% 77,6 60,4 20% 0% 1996 2000 A business driven transition?… the evolving structure of the EU Telecommunications Services Market

  9. Some issues... Challenges • Preserve Investments • Identify Business cases • Motivate business leaders • Educate end-users Benefits • Scalability, Security • Network Management • Global Improvements

  10. Multiple actors… cooperation Actors • Research Labs • Industry • Telcos, ISPs • Users • ... Catalysts • IPv6 Forum • Public policies • National and European R&D Programmes • ...

  13. Some aspects of Commission policy • Communication from the Commission to the Council and European Parliament COM (2000)202 11 April 2000 The Organisation and Management of the Internet International and European Policy Issues

  14. Some aspects of Commission policy • Internet addressing - The Commission intends to take several steps to facilitate where appropriate the transition of the information economy to the IP addressing system, including the timely introduction of next generation Internet addressing (IPv6) • Internet protocols - The Commission also intends to take full account of the development of Internet protocols in its approach to information technology standardisation, including in the EU research projects.

  15. Some aspects of Commission policy • encourage new constituencies (including the public sector) • encourage the timely transition to IPv6 (particularly within the European Institutions and public administrations)

  16. Some aspects of Commission policy • facilitate the global expansion of Internet (developing countries) through the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 addressing systems • in the context of appropriate EU research, promote the development and use of IPv6 and next generation Internet technologies more generally

  17. eEurope • The eEurope initiative must be seen in its context of profound economic and social mutation - major challenges for European policy and decision makers to modernise the economy – great new opportunities for growth, competition, employment and social cohesion waiting to be seized... ” …. Fast Internet for Research and Students ….

  18. eEurope - action plan … With regard to the next generation Internet, the Commission intends to mobilise telecommunications operators and equipment manufacturers to work together with service providers and users to ensure the rapid deployment and use of next generation infrastructure across Europe, including IPv6...

  19. IST Programme Concrete initiatives • 6INIT - Introduction of IPv6 services in Europe • GCAP - Global Communication Architecture and Protocols • WINE - Wireless Internet Networks • LONG - Laboratories over Next Generation Networks • ...

  20. 6INIT • Test and validate a first operational European IPv6 packet delivery service • Develop operational procedures for IPv6 networks and for IPv4 to IPv6 network interoperability and application migration • Test access devices which allow seamless IPv4-IPv6 transition, differentiated services and VPN services Duration: 16 Months Costs: 4.3 MEuro

  21. GCAP • Develop a multicast and multimedia transport service protocol for group communication in Java. • Propose a design approach for rapid deployment on advanced networks of new communication and end-to-end protocols • Implement an Active Network-based support on top of IPv6 and carry experiments with different sets of QoS requirements Duration: 24 Months Costs: 3.5 MEuro

  22. WINE • Research and develop on true, transparent Wireless Internet (IPv6/IPv4) connectivity • Optimise global end-to-end transmission • Build wireless and cellular IP-networks • Develop an adaptation layer to make it possible to have transparent IP services over different air-interfaces Duration: 24 Months Costs: 4.9 MEuro

  23. LONG • Port collaborative work applications to IPv6 making use of IPv6 multicast addresses in order to demonstrate efficiency of the solution • Provide an international testbed which will be used to test available IPv4 /IPv6 transition mechanism. Duration: 24 Months Costs: 2.1 MEuro (Not yet contracted - under negotiations)

  24. Research Networks - WP2000 RN2 - End to end application experiments • Support large scale experimentation with middleware and end-to-end applications... This experimentation calls for the involvement of real users in the context of problem-oriented test-beds... ... In this context IPv6 is seen as a key enabler for future test-beds, applications and middleware running on them. …LONG, others expected as a result of the third call...

  25. Conclusions • Evolution towards IPv6 is not a technical matter... • Telcos and Industry are preparing strategies… expecting that new services and mobility will drive IPv6 deployment • National and European initiatives are actively pushing the deployment • Research and Education Networks may take the lead for first large scale deployments • IPv6 constitutes a strategic goal for Europe! EC taking policy measures to mobilise actors...
