  2. IPv4 Address Space • IPv4 address space is melting • IPv4 Address space Countdown is at www.ipv6forum.com • IPv4 contains 232 addresses, just over four billion unique IP addresses • IPv6 supports 2128 (about 3.4×1038) addresses • As of the end of March 2008: • 35 IP Blocks are left’ • that is below 16% • U.S. Federal agencies must comply with Office of Management and Budgets mandate by June 2008 to have networks be IPv6 Capable.

  3. Moving to IPv6 • During the RIPE 55 meeting in Amsterdam • “The remaining pool of unallocated IPv4 address space is likely to be fully allocated within two to four years. “ • “…the deployment of IPv6 is necessary for the development of future IP networks.” • ARIN and the other Regional Internet Registries have distributed IPv6 alongside IPv4 since 1999 • In 2007, ARIN Board of Trustees passes a resolution on numbering resource availability • IPv6 numbering is necessary from ARIN when requiring contiguous IP numbering resources

  4. What To Do • Question: Does your company have enough public IPv4 addresses to sustain their businesses forever? • Once the IPv4 address pool is gone, they will not be able to get a public IP address unless they move to IPv6 • Questions: What should U.S. companies be doing about IPv6? • Begin planning the move to IPv6 for IT departments • Upgrade the infrastructure. • Get network plumbing in order so that IPv6 can co-exist and be interoperable with IPv4 • Get an address space plan. • What is going to make companies move to IPv6: when they need IPv6. • Guidance • Jan 2008, NIST, A Profile for IPv6 in U.S. Government, ver 1.0 • Aug 2007, DISA, DOD IPv6 Generic Test Plan, ver 3

  5. IPv6 Logo Program • IPv6 Logo • Indicates interoperability across various products • IPv6 is currently operational and will be used in future Questions: What should U.S. companies be doing about IPv6? • Three Phases • Phase 1 : Logo indicates that the product includes IPv6 mandatory core protocols and can interoperate with other IPv6 implementations. • Phase 2: technical consensus and clear technical references; product has successfully satisfied strong requirements by the Logo Committee • Phase 3: same testing as Phase 2, but with IPsec mandated • www.ipv6ready.org • Contains links for Chinese and Japanese sites

  6. IPv6 Logo Program • IPv6 Logo and U.S. Government • Approaching OMB June 30, 2008 deadline mandating compliance of having networks be ‘IPv6 capable’ • IPv6 Logo provides the general market and all governments with certified products for interoperability • IPv6 Logo provides assurance that networking and security technologies will interoperate within networks • Approved Product Listhttp://www.ipv6ready.org/logo_db/approved_list_p2.php
