  1. Ground/Ground IP Communications:European experience and perspectives Eivan Cerasi DAS/CSM ACP/WGN/SG1 7th Meeting 27 March 2006, Malmo European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation

  2. Content • PEN ( Pan-European Network) • iPAX-TF • PEN: planning and implementation • FMTP (Flight Message Transfer Protocol)

  3. Why we need an IP PEN? • International Data • OLDI over X.25 • ASTERIX over X.25 • AFTN/CIDIN over X.25 • CFMU/CRCO/EAD over separate IP networks • National Services • Internal IP/X25 applications • X25 Links to SITA/ARINC • Management, etc.. Dependence on X.25 X.25: End-date 2009

  4. IPAX Task Force & Trials (2001-2004) • WAN trials to support R&D activities to plan migration from X.25 to IP: • 12 European ANSPs, 22 logical interconnections • various lower media (VPN, Internet, LL, ISDN, MW) • 14 European sites + NASA connected via IPv6 • Directory services (DNS) • IP security (IPsec and firewalls) • X.25 over TCP/IP • OLDI over TCP/IP dataexchange • ASTERIX over IP dataexchange • AMHS over TCP/IP

  5. Outcome of iPAX-TF and Recomendations • There are no show-stoppers to use of IP for ATC applications • Porting existing applications to IP may require application adaptations (ex: TCP client/server, TCP byte stream, IP addressing) • All UDP-based systems must be designed to mitigate • out of sequence and lost UDP/IP datagram's • repetition of identical UDP/IP packet (can happen in failure situation of IP multicast) • Destination UDP or TCP Port Numbering must be standardized • AMHS (RFC2126: 102), FMTP (8500), ASTERIX over IP (8600) • There are IPv4 address conflict problems at international level • End-systems with international access should be dual-stacked (IPv4/v6) by 2009 (IPv6 is the standard network protocol to which all applications should converge to) • International Multicast, VoIP and MobileIP best supported over IPv6

  6. Pan-European Network

  7. What is PEN? • Pan European IP network service of the ATM sector which will ultimately carry all data and voice applications • A multi-protocol service (supporting both IPv4 and IPv6) • Initially likely to be limited to multi-protocol (IPv4/IPv6) data services acting as a core backbone interconnecting existing IP national networks • A scalable backbone capable of supporting multicast and voice at a later stage

  8. PENS Outlook and Timescales 2005-2009 • X25 -> IP migration has started leading to a mixed X.25/IP environment • Additional ECIP and Implementing Rules to be further developed • ANSP X.25 application/systems are being migrated to IP • June 2006: PEN Call for Interest • January 2007: PEN Call for Tender • January 2008: Deployment of PEN and operational evaluation/validation • Summer 2008: initial IOC 2010+ : Application and Service extension • Voice, A/G applications, International Multicast, ….

  9. Application Migration Status to IP Single SkyImplementing Rule • OLDI communications have been adapted to TCP/IPand pre-operational trials were successful • Flight Message Transfer Protocol (based on IPv6) • AFTN/CIDIN is being migrated to AMHS over TCP/IP • First operational link between Madrid and Frankfurt, IPv4 end-systems but IPv6 WAN interconnectivity) • Surveillance distribution is converging to ASTERIX over IP • This impacts surveillance systems (RMCDE, ARTAS, ModeS, ….) • CFMU/EAD/CRCO are based on IP • Voice services over IP are being evaluated by EUROCAE ECIP COM 04 12/2007 ECIP COM 05 12/2007

  10. IP and PEN • No immediate changes within ANSP IPv4 private networks who can migrate to IPv6 at their own pace • Build an IPv6 addressing scheme independent of ISPs, VPNs and topology • IPv4/ IPv6 dual-stack approach where possible • Standard multi-protocol IP routers to resolve overlapping IPv4 address space, co-existence of IPv4/IPv6 and support full migration to IPv6 (beyond 2010) • Make use of IPv4/v6 address translation techniques if necessary but highly recommend IPv6 end-to-end

  11. IPv6 Unicast Address Scheme • Following the iPAX-TF work, EUROCONTROL has become an LIR for allocation and assignment of IPv6 addresses on behalf of its stakeholders

  12. IPv6 Address Example • EUROCONTROL has been allocated address 2001:4B50::/32 • From this range, ROMATSA has been sub-allocated with 2001:4B50:0940::/42 which they can advertise at their border. • ROMATSA has then been assigned with /48 network prefixes to number their systems. These addresses are registered in the RIPE database and are indicated as being maintained by the EUROCONTROL Agency. • Sub-allocations have been planned for ANSPs, Airports, Pan-European users, Regional Networks, EUROCONTROL facilities.

  13. IPv6 Sub-Allocation Scheme . . .

  14. FMTP • ECIP Objective COM-04 (goodwill and only for international links) • SES Implementing Rule (legislation both international/national) • FMTP rule is approved but pending final formatting prior its publication • The Rule will mandate a EUROCONTROL Specification called FMTP • Should be published summer 2006 • FMTP ETIC Test Tool – version 3.0 supports both X.25 and TCP/IP • Simulate systems’ communication partners • Give an open access and a total control on all aspects of the protocol • Send user- and protocol-defined messages • Receive and process user- and protocol-defined messages • Write and play an operational scenario • Live monitoring and logging of all events • ….
