2nd Irish IPv6 Summit: Dublin Castle 19th May 2010

History of Event • 1st Irish IPv6 Summit (Jan 2009) – h=p://www.ipv6.ie/summit2009 • Organised by Irish IPv6 Task Force – h=p://www.ipv6.ie/ • Supported by: – TSSG, HEAnet, DCENR, other members of the Task Force • Sponsored by: – Science FoundaRon Ireland (SFI)

Context: Internet Governance Ecosystem • ICANN -‐ in charge of names and numbers, sets policy • IANA -‐ operated by ICANN, follows policy • RIRs -‐ regional number allocaRon – AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and RIPE NCC • Internet Society (ISOC) -‐ supports the ecosystem • Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) -‐ deﬁnes the standards (e.g. IPv4 and IPv6) – Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) – Internet Architecture Board (IAB)

Context: IPv4 Address Shortage • IPv4 has over 4 billion addresses • But that simply is not enough – Fewer that one for everyone on the planet – But we all use mulRple devices – And we’re creaRng new devices that talk to each other rather than being used directly by a humans – We’ve already used them all up, almost

Context: IPv4 Address Shortage • We’ve put of the day as long as could – CIDR (sub divide address space more aggressively) – NAT (allow non-‐server devices to share public addresses) • But now the Rme is running out • IANA /8 blocks are the basic unit of allocaRon to Regional Internet Registries • PredicRons now indicate the last of these blocks will be allocated in September 2011

Context: IPv6 • So there is no Rme for a long debate on the alternaRves • The Internet community has already agreed on IPv6 as the soluRon to IPv4 address shortage as a problem • IPv6 has about 340 trillion, trillion, trillion addresses • In actual use, addresses are structured for rouRng and as a result the number of addresses available is eﬀecRvely less

Talks Today Address • End User – Home user must wait for ISP to provide IPv6, or run a tunnel over IPv4 • Enterprise Networks (private and public sector) – Can make decision now to migrate to IPv6 – Will have to deal with IPv6 in very near future anyway • TelecommunicaRons operators and ISPs – Oﬀer Internet connecRvity – Should be planning to migrate to IPv6 asap

What is the Internet? • Explosive growth – The deﬁning characterisRc of the Internet is its growth – This will stop, unless we migrate to IPv6 – Arguably it has been one of the main drivers of the whole economy, revoluRonising many business sectors • Lowest barriers to service creaRon – The end-‐to-‐end architecture has allowed anyone on the Internet to oﬀer a service to anyone else on the Internet – NAT has broken this, IPv6 can help reintroduce it
