IPv6 Implementation for Dutch Municipalities: A Focused Approach

This project focuses on the implementation of IPv6 for Dutch municipalities, aiming to make their websites and email accessible through IPv6. With a dedicated team, continuous measurement of progress, and the use of a NAT64 translation gateway, the project has achieved significant growth in IPv6 reachability. Lessons learned and future steps are also discussed.

  2. Internet Standards Platform

  3. Modern Internet Standards IPv6 (modern internet address) DNSSEC (signed domain) HTTPS+HSTS (secure website connection) DMARC+DKIM+SPF (prevention of mail spoofing) STARTTLS+DANE (prevention of mail eavesdropping)

  4. Dutch policy on open standards In general: • Open standards are the norm • Goal: interoperabilityandvendorneutrality Comply-or-explain: • For selected open standards • Whengovernementsinvest/procure • List with 41 open standards • Internet and security • Document and web • E-invoicingandadministration • ...

  6. Adoption strategy internet standards(Dutch Government)

  7. VNG Realisatie • VNG is the Association of Netherlands Municipalities • Association has been established in 1912 andrepresentsall 355 Dutch municipalities • VNG supports andpromotesthestrengthandquality of localadministrations • VNG Realisatie preparesand supports new developments on IT within VNG • Close cooperation withothergovernmentalorganisations, especiallyDutch Standardisation Forum andLogius

  8. IPv6 implementation Dutch Municipalities • Focus on IPv6 for web presence: websites, email • Goal: everymunicipal website canbeaccessedthrough IPv6 bythe end of 2019, email access through IPv6 bymid 2020 • Internalimplementation IPv6 will start from 2020 onwards • Implementation of IPv6 is also part of development of private community cloud infrastructure (GGI) programme

  9. IPv6 status Dutch municipalities (Oct. 2019) • Municipal websites dual-stack: 62% [n=221] • Email dual-stack: 16% [n=56] • Growth of IPv6 reachable websites is achieved in almost 1,5 year: from 19% bythe end of 2017 to 62% today • Email needs special attention • Implementation of IPv6 on internalnetworks has been launched as a pilot action within 6 municipalities

  10. The ‘IPv6-ification’ of Dutch Municipalities Green= mainmunicipal website dual-stack Sources: www.internet.nlandhttps://www.waarstaatjegemeente.nl/dashboard/Dienstverlening-en-digitalisering

  12. The closed loop approach Results API internet.nl IPv4 Municipal website Public Report IPv6 https://www.city.nl IPv6 project

  13. IPv6 implementation approach Dutch municipalities • Dedicatedimplementation ‘hands-on’ team of 4 • Continuousmeasurement of progressusing ‘Internet.nl’ • Presentation of achievedresults in monthly updatethroughthe public website: ‘waarstaatjegemeente.nl’ • Use of dedicated NAT64 translation gateway  removeconstraint of non-compliant website (temporarily) • Promotion andcommunication support: video*, live and web presentations, management letters, social media

  14. IPv6 access for IPv4 websites IPv6-visitor of municipal website EffectiveIPv6 session Internet DNS with IPv4 address and IPv6 address of municipal website Municipal IPv4-only website NAT64Gateway

  15. IPv6 access for IPv4 websites • Dutch municipalities have tousesocalledgovernmental IPv6 addresses • These addresses have a specific range: onlyforgovernmentaluse • Toimplement these addresses we use a dedicatedIPv6 Address Framework, coordinatedwith Logius • Logius acts as anintermediatebetweengovernmentalorganisationsand RIPE concerningtherequestforandtheusage of IP-addresses

  16. Marketing & communication approach • Celebrateachieved goals • Usetargetedmessages • Useevery relevant communicationchannelto spread themessage

  18. The next step • Accelleratetheimplementation of IPv6 Example: IPv6 week formunicipalities, suppliers/vendorsandothergovernmentalorganisations, 2-4 Oct 2019 • Manifesto for a government-wideimplementation of IPv6: • Every Dutch governmentalorganisationcanbereached via IPv6 bythe end of 2021 • Ahead of that: • All Dutch municipal websites canbeaccessedby IPv6 bythe end of thisyear, andby e-email bymid 2020

  19. Lessonslearned • Do not waste timewith business case discussions! • Keep itsimple: focus on low hanging fruit: success breeds success • Useexisting company programs (in this case GGI) as a carrier for IPv6 • Removeeverypossibleconstraint or blockade beforehand • Use of ‘internet.nl’ as dedicatedmeasurement tool • Present resultscontinuously: considernamingandshaming • Deploy a small dedicated team of hands-on specialists: cover development andimplementation. Providechecklists andguidelines (in cooperation with e.g. SURFnet) • Target messages at theright levels: general management, IT specialists, operators • Co-operatewithvendorsandsuppliers
