 2011 March - Microsoft to acquire Nortel’s IPv4 addresses
for $7.5-million
 2011 April - RIR APNIC assigns all addresses
 2011 June - On World IPv6 Day A10 customer has over 1m+
IPv6 visitors
 2011 Nov - 0.80% of top million web sites available via IPv6
 2011 - More adoption than previous years combined
 2012 June - IPv6 Day no issues reported, again
 2012 Oct - 4.6% of top million web sites available via IPv6

9. First Live Deployment - NTT Plala, Japan
The IPv6 network, model for the future?
 Project: Hikari-TV, implementation and live in 2008
 Purpose: IPTV broadcasting and video on-demand service (and Karaoke!)
 Network: Native IPv6-based, fiber-to-the-home network
 First large-scale, commercially successful application of IPTV service that runs
over a IPv6 network
 "After a comparative test...we selected A10's AX Series..as the high-performance server load
balancer platform for 'Hikari-TV'...video distribution” service..."

12. What Does Each Technology Do?
Retire IPv4?
IPv6 Access to IPv4
DS-Lite to
Access IPv6 allow IPv4
NAT64/DNS64 access over
to enable IPv6 IPv6 core
only clients to
6rd to enable connect to IPv4
IPv6 access resources
over existing
IPv4 core
CGN to solve
public IPv4 Preserve IPv4
address
shortages and
standard NAT
SLB-PT or
IPv6 SLB to
enable IPv6
on public web Enable IPv6
sites
12

13. What Are the Benefits and Real Use Cases?
IPv4 is the legacy protocol, cost
IPv6 supplier is bought, savings require retirement of
need to provide access to IPv4 core
internal IPv4 applications
Critical new supplier is
IPv6 only, internal clients
require access
immediately
Limited IPv4 resources and
propriety NAT errors stop
Internet facing service
growth
IPv6 web site to protect
brand and ensure universal
access
SLB-PT CGN 6rd NAT64/DNS64 DS-Lite

20. NAT64/DNS64 for Top US Wireless Carrier
 Offers access to new users over IPv6
 Alternative to dual-stacked host option, simpler to manage
 NAT64 translates IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets
 DNS64 translates associated DNS queries on behalf of IPv6 clients
 Provides future proof scalability by allowing IPv6 customers to have
access to IPv4-only Internet sites and services

21. A10 Customers on World IPv6 Day
 Predominantly IPv6 > IPv6 & IPv6 >
IPv4
 Web portals, news organizations, Web
2.0, DNS providers and more
 One large customer, exclusively using
A10 ADCs for the event:
 Million+ unique IPv6 addresses hitting front-
end AX units in multiple data centers
 Testing prior due to complex applications
 No issues were encountered
 IPv6 was a small fraction of overall traffic (far
less than 1%), but higher than expected
 A10 received zero support calls
