5. Setting the scene
5
• The Internet has become a fundamental infrastructure,
worldwide, for economic and social activity, and its usage
continues to grow exponentially:
– More users
– New applications (e.g. mobile, Internet of Things etc.)
• The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is the only sustainable
option in the long run.
• A smooth transition requires understanding the challenges
and a timely start.
The Internet is changing…
6. IPv4 Vs IPv6
Internet Protocol
version 4 (IPv4)
Internet Protocol
version 6 (IPv6)
Deployed 1981 1999
Address Size 32-bit number 128-bit number
Address Format Dotted Decimal
Notation:
192.149.252.76
Hexadecimal Notation:
2001:DB8:0234:AB00:0
123:4567:8901:ABCD
Prefix Notation 192.149.0.0/24 2001:DB8:0234::/48
Number of Addresses 232 =

7. But how is deployment going?
• This varies around the world in terms of…
– Address deployment
• Have the networks got addresses?
– Routing deployment
• Do they show in the routing table?
– Traffic
• Are the routes being used?
– User capability and usefulness
• Can end-users use IPv6 and access content?
• And these are business decisions.

IPv4 IPv6
• Around 30000 IPv6 routes compare to 600000 IPv4 routes
but IPv6 is steadily growing

11. ATRC IDA IPv6 Survey 2016
• Aims to investigate the technical and regulatory readiness
of ASEAN Member States (AMS) in adopting IPv6 to
support the future growth and expansion of the Internet
• Prepared and carried out by IDA Singapore in close
collaboration with APNIC
• IDA Singapore and ASEC communicated to all ATRC focal
points
• Survey was kept short, focused on essentials and available
in two formats - online and offline
• As of 4 May 2016, we received responses from 8 AMS
– BN, KH, LA, MY, MM, SG, TH, VN
– Thanks for the contributions

15. Survey summary - Observations
• Significant difference among the Member States:
– Deployment experience
– Technical knowledge
– National policies
– Future plans
• National IPv6 Task Force
– In partnership with local industry
• ASEAN IPv6 Task Force
– In partnership with all AMS, regional industry and technical experts
– Create awareness and provide one agreed policy framework
– Milestones and regular meetings/reporting

48. Observations
• IPv6 deployment is increasing steadily
– But varies among regions, economies, and individual ASNs
– Not happening simultaneously
– Some economies and ASNs have been very active in terms of IPv6
deployment
• Particularly mobile network, cloud services and cable TV operators
• Regional smaller size operators shows higher level of IPv6 readiness
• Once they enable IPv6 in their network and handsets, their end user
readiness grows VERY rapidly
• It strongly impacts respective economy’s IPv6 readiness level

50. 6 key messages to take away
1. IPv6 is now inevitable as we continue to move toward a ubiquitously
connected society. E.g. Smart cities
2. Without IPv6 deployment, it is just a matter of time before networks
(countries) become isolated and unable to communicate.
3. Ability to integrate devices, such as mobile phones, IoT, etc., is no
longer a want − it is a need.
4. Without IPv6, will severely limit the move towards a connected
society, hindering government and business efficiency.
5. Government personnel need integrated, secure functionality to help
provide citizen services.
6. IPv6 is no longer just a technical issue to be tackled only at the
operational level. It needs to involve all levels and agencies within the
government.
