Wipro Webinar IPv6 Transition: The way ahead & the need for preparedness 07th December, 2011
Agenda Industry Outlook to IPv6 Migration 1 Hindrances & Business Benefits of IPv6 Migration 2 Wipro’s Approach to Enable IPv6 Migration 3 BhartiAirtel IPv6 Migration Journey 4
Transition to IPv6 has already begun IPv6 Transition / Migration Carriers and ISPs are all making for this transition now There are different methods and phases in making the transition by service providers • The catalyst is the increasingly smaller availability of IPv4 addresses but it is not the only reason Recent report indicates that service providers are moving already with plans for completion within one year’s time. Even though enterprise customers don’t seem to be concerned today; it will become critical in 2012 for service providers to be ready
Need for IPv6 It is more than just lack of addresses that are driving the need for the transition The IPv6 transition implementation plans vary and have distinct phases (Assess-Plan-Implement-Test) Devices, web resources, websites, content providers and network providers are all involved – “internet ecosystem” Similar to HD service, the entire value chain has to support IPv6 addressing (e.g. this ecosystem) Service providers need to finish their plan and now start to implement this migration to support IPv6 in all its services. This need will expand beyond the Asia-Pacific region quickly
Business Benefits of IPv6 Migration Enables the “Internet of Things” Massive Address Space – No NAT Stateless Address Auto-Configuration Built in Security Framework Efficient Packet Processing and Routing Multicast Support

Network Operator puzzles Multiple transition approaches under study @ IETF How to balance trade-off between transition approach network architecture? Vendor readiness with end-to-end solution for commercial deployment? How to ease the introduction of IPv6, and ensure IPv4 service continuity?

Transition Essentials • No “ D – Day for transition – unlike the Y2K transition • Last Internet transition was 1983 (NCP TCP) • Transition will be incremental • Possibly over several years • No IPv4/IPv6 barriers at any time • Easy for end user • Non disruptive Transition • IPv6 is designed with transition in mind • Assumption of IPv4/IPv6 coexistence
Phases of Transition First Phase • N/w infra to support dual stack • Separate IPv6 islands in the network. • Most IPv6 services are provided in the operator network (Intranet). • Conventional IPv4 services are provided to the mobile users having IPv4 or dual stack terminals. Second Phase • IPv6 is widely deployed - numerous services are implemented on the IPv6 • IPv6 Internet does not yet have a 100 per cent • connectivity and tunneling via IPv4 Internet may still be needed.
Native IPV4 Terminal Three cases are shown • Connection to an IPv4 host in Intranet • Connection to an IPv4 host via public Internet • Connection to an IPv4 host via public Internet using private IP addresses and NAT in the operator network. Operator Network
Dual stack IPV4 terminal in IPV6 mode • The dual stack terminal is operating in IPv6 mode. • The packets are routed via IPv6 Internet or tunneled via IPv4 Internet to the peer host having a "6to4" type of address. • The edge router makes the "6to4" tunneling (encapsulation / decapsulation). Operator Network
Conclusions • Transition urgency for India • Comprehensive planning and phased execution • Gradual, controlled transition to IPv6 in 2G / 3G mobile networks is feasible. • Transition mechanisms are vital, because the change from IPv4 to IPv6 is not going to happen overnight. • The principal transition mechanisms used are dual IPv4 / IPv6 stacks / tunneling and Translators (such as NAT-PT) depending on the infra readiness • The final target architecture is to make all services function on the IPv6 platform
