11. Membership referral
11
• You lodge the application on
their behalf via MyAPNIC
• An APNIC Member account will
be created for your customer
and they will be the custodian
of the resources
• You continue to manage their
address space and can be the
authorized APNIC contact for
their account
• You can remain your
customers' billing contact
Since 2014, 57 Members have referred
over 120 of their customers, including
a Thai ISP who referred 18 customers,
which included a data centre, a game
developer, and content companies
18. IPv6 performance
Enough data collected to analyze IPv6 performance
⁃ APNIC Labs
• Is IPv6 as robust as IPv4?
⁃ Do all TCP connection attempts succeed?
Connection failure = no ACK for an SYN
• IPv4 connection failure sits at 0.2%
• IPv6 connection failure sits at 1.6% (8 times higher!)
PMTUD (ICMPv6 filters)?
19. IPv6 performance
• Is IPv6 as fast as IPv4? (IPv6 unicast)
⁃ Comparison of RTT (not implicit RTT)
Time since SYN till ACK
Factors out any congestion issues
• IPv6 is faster about half of the time
45ms faster (36-90ms)
NAT?
IPv4 and IPv6 using different paths (different peering policies for IPv4 and
IPv6)?
• TechArk measured IPv6 performance for HTTP traffic
⁃ IPv6 performance better when measuring nearer targets!

22. AIS deployment
“The choice for us was clear. The amount of available
v4 is decreasing and we wanted to reduce
CGN NAT use. And from a content point of view
many Internet applications - IoT, YouTube, Google -
already support v6".

23. Deployment planning
• Get your IPv6 address - very easy
• Do you have in-house skills?
⁃ Training, conferences
⁃ Talk to the community - many are willing to help!!
• Address planning - not difficult
24. Deployment planning
• Assess your network
⁃ Do the existing network nodes support IPv6?
What requires updating (fw/sw)?
What needs upgrading/replacing (hw)?
⁃ Talk to your vendor!
• Start from the backbone - not so complicated
• Deploy for enterprise customers - not difficult
25. Deployment planning
• Deploy in access Network
⁃ Both financial and technical assessment required!!
Vendors and IPv6 consultants will tell you otherwise
⁃ Mobile: IPv6 PDP license
Either IPv6-only or dual-stack (IPv4v6)
⁃ Wired broadband:
MSANs, DSLAMS, OLT/ONT/ONU should carry IPv6 ether-type (do not assume)
CPEs, wireless routers, APs: https://getipv6.info/display/IPv6/Broadband+CPE

Most of the ASN they have are visible: 37 of 47. But only 6 announce IPv6. and only 19% of the allocated V6 is visible.
