John Curran - Moving to IPv6
- 1. Moving to IPv6 John Curran ARIN President and CEO Dominios Latinoamerica November 2015
- 2. Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) • The RIR system was created in 1992 2
- 3. RIR Core Functions • RIRs operate the Internet Number Registry System – Not-for-profit organizations that provide unique Internet number resources through technical coordination and management within a defined geographical region • Responsible for the management of: – IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) assignments & allocations – Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) – Transfers – Reverse DNS – Record Maintenance and Directory services • Whois • Routing Information (Internet Routing Registry) • WhoWas 3
- 4. Growth of the Internet 4
- 5. History of the Internet Protocol • Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) – Developed for the original Internet (ARPANET) in 1978 – 4 billion addresses – Deployed globally & well entrenched – Allocated based on documented need • Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) – Design began in 1993 when IETF forecasts showed IPv4 depletion between 2010 and 2017 – 340 undecillion addresses – Completed, tested, and available since 1999 – Used and managed similar to IPv4 5
- 6. Why Move to IPv6 Now? • IPv4 depletion has occurred – Cost of IPv4 will only increase • Lots more addresses and more! – IPv6 performs better than IPv4 – IPv6 is simpler operationally; not difficult to deploy • More efficient network management - allows for end-to-end networking to occur again • Designed with security in mind • IPv6 is your platform for innovation 6
- 7. Global IPv4 Runout – Feb 2011 Each RIR received its last /8 IPv4 address block from IANA on 3 February 2011 7
- 8. ARIN IPv4 Runout – Sept 2015 8
- 9. Global IPv4 Depletion Status 9
- 10. PERCENTAGE OF MEMBERS WITH BOTH IPv4 AND IPv6 IN EACH RIR 10
- 11. IPv6 Deployment > 20% of US customers connected via IPv6 up from 10% one year ago today & growing rapidly Credit: Google 11
- 12. Better Performance Over IPv6 • Facebook says it has seen users’ news feeds loading 20% to 40% faster on mobile devices using IPv6 12
- 13. What Should You be Doing Right Now? 13
- 14. Everyone Needs an IPv6 Plan • Each organization must decide on a unique IPv6 deployment plan right for them – Timeline will vary – Investment level will vary 14
- 15. Your IPv6 Checklist • Get your IPv6 address space • Set up IPv6 connectivity (native or tunneled) • Configure your operating systems, software, and network management tools • Upgrade your router, firewall, and other hardware • Get your IT staff training • Enable IPv6 on your website 15
- 16. Get IPv6 from Your ISP or RIR 16
- 17. Talk to Your ISP About IPv6 Services • You want access to the entire Internet! – ISPs must connect customers via IPv4 only, IPv4-IPv6, and IPv6 only – They must plan for IPv4-IPv6 transition services • Many transition technologies available • Research options and make architectural decisions 17
- 18. Dual-stack Your Network –IPv6 not backwards compatible with IPv4 –Both will run simultaneously for years 18
- 19. Make Your Servers Reachable Over IPv6 –Mail, Web, Applications –Operating systems, software, and network management tools 19
- 20. Audit Your Equipment and Software –Are your devices and applications IPv6 ready? 20
- 21. Encourage Vendors to Support IPv6 –If not already, when will IPv6 support be part of their product cycle? 21
- 22. Get IPv6 Training for Staff –Free resources available 22

Editor's Notes
- ARIN’s original service region in 1997 included all of what LACNIC covers today and sub-Saharan Africa, which is now part of AFRINIC’s region.
- IPv6 provides a much larger pool of IP addresses. IPv6 is not backwards compatible with IPv4. The much larger IPv6 numbering system is meant to one day completely replace IPv4, but this will take many years. In the meantime, much of the Internet will run IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. This is necessary to ensure all users, regardless of the protocol version they are using, will be able to interact with all content on the Internet.
- IPv6 provides a much larger address pool to meet the increasing addressing needs of the Internet today and in the future. Organizations that require larger contiguous blocks of address space will only be able to receive them in IPv6. Contiguous blocks of IP address space are necessary for activities like building out new large networks and adding new customers to existing networks without causing additional burden on the Internet routing infrastructure. Adopting IPv6 leads to easier and more efficient network management. IPv6 also has built in security features that are much easier to use than similar features in IPv4. The only bad news is that we’ve all got some work to do to prepare for IPv6 and have our networks ready for this new and improved protocol.
- 4 /8’s returned in 2007/2008
- IPv6 deployment by US Internet service providers (broadband to home, mobile is quite respectable, with more than 20% of the US customers connected via IPv6 (up from 10% one year ago today, and growing rapidly: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption)
- Facebook says it has seen users' News Feeds loading 20 percent to 40 percent faster on mobile devices using IPv6 according to Facebook Software Engineer, Paul Saab as reported by Stephen Lawson in Network World: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2909628/the-future-is-here-you-may-already-be-using-ipv6.html
- Everyone needs to have a detailed plan for IPv6 deployment sooner rather than later. Each organization must decide on an IPv6 adoption plan that is right for them. Requirements to make website, e-mail, and other communication services available via IPv6 will be different for each organization, depending on how the network is set up and what services are deployed. IPv6 deployment timelines and investment levels will vary for each organization.
- In addition to provisioning new customers using IPv6, there is work to be done by Internet Service Providers to ensure their existing IPv4 customers are able to interact with new IPv6-only content on the Internet. ISPs must establish protocol translation and/or tunneling services for their customers. Talk to your ISP and make sure they are planning this now.

To ensure these services can communicate with everyone on the Internet going forward, your network infrastructure must be dual-stacked. IPv6 is not backwards compatible with IPv6 and they will likely run simultaneously for the foreseeable future. Dual-stacking now will ensure all users will continue to be able to see your website, use your web-based services, and communicate with you via e-mail. You may manage these services internally or through a vendor. Either way, speak to those who are responsible for your network operations about adding IPv6 accessibility to them. Content providers must begin upgrading their capabilities to include IPv6 so all customers are able to reach them. If you operate a website, it is important to act now and make sure all Internet users are able to reach you, even those with an IPv6-only address.

- Photo credit: https://flic.kr/p/916Pf Equipment vendors who distribute a hardware or software product that interacts with IPv4 networks should be making sure it is also capable of interacting with IPv6. If you find a vendor who does not yet support IPv6, encourage them to make the transition and to introduce IPv6 support into their product cycles as soon as possible and by specifically including IPv6 support in RFPs and contracts.
