  1. IPv6Status in Pakistan By Aftab A. Siddiqui Cyber Internet Services (Pvt.) Ltd IPv6 Task Force Pakistan

  2. Starting Point • There are certain questions and misconceptions we have been dealing with: • IPv4 exhaustion is not real, it will take at least 5 more years. • Yes, we have enabled IPv6 on our core router. Now what? • We don’t have enough money to upgrade everything. • We would like to cope up with IPv6, teach us how? • My internet is still working why should I participate in W6D or v6 Launch events?

  3. IPv6 delegations in Pakistan • As of 25th February 2012, there are 60 APNIC members in Pakistan. • Every member is entitled to get an IPv6 allocation of /32 (and /48 assignments where applicable). • BUT Unfortunately….. • According to APNIC database out of 60 only 24 Members have acquired IPv6 address space. i.e. ~40% • Out of 24 members having IPv6 address space only 8 are advertising their prefixes on the Internet. i.e. ~13%

  4. IPv6 Task Force Pakistan • IPv6 Task Force was created by few technology enthusiast from Cybernet, Supernet and Dancom (acquired by LinkDotNet). • It is accredited by IPv6 Forum, APNIC, SANOG and PTA. • The main idea was to start working towards IPv6 deployment as early as possible. • A working charter was established with consensus among the stake holders.

  5. IPv6 Task Force Pakistan Task Force was formed with the following objectives: • Identify key application/product vendors and ISPs to promote IPv6 in Pakistan. [In-Progress] • Propose, discuss, implement and share regional and local IPv6 strategies. [Failure] • Facilitate the means to promote IPv6 and its related technology through TF managed events and web portal. [In-Progress]

  6. IPv6 Task Force Pakistan • Work with academia to promote addition of IPv6 in their curriculum. [Successful] • Develop General Deployment and Transition Guidelines. [Successful] • Investigate and publicize IPv6 deployment status. [Successful] & [In-Progress] • Establish and maintain Project 6Core (National IPv6 Core of Pakistan). [Stagnant] • W6D Participation from Academia and ISPs. [2 Participants only]

  7. We are already late. Do Something! • A planned rollout in an average moderate network environment could take 2 years. • If you are still looking for a business case than imagine Internet with NAT only. • The sooner you start, the more time you have to test the network. • Start conserving your IPv4 addresses for rainy days.

  8. Attitude towards IPv6 Come on, we still have IPv4. Just take it easy and see what will happen. Relax! Courtesy: Tomas Podermanski
