2. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
What is it?
 Internet Protocol Version 6 is the next generation protocol for
the Internet
 IPv6 support 2^128 unique IP addresses

 Less data loss, latency (jitter) or bandwidth
 Better mobility support, Multi-homing and Security

4. IPv6 and the Enterprise
Why should I care?
An escalating demand for IP addresses acted as the
driving force behind the development of IPv6
significantly larger address space allows a provision for
permanent unique addresses

5. IP Infrastructure (Internet)
IPv4 is an extraordinary success story
IP infrastructure or the “Internet/Intranets” have
become a strategic resources
Communication lines/exchanges …. Leveraged to
provide data connectivity

Countries have been leveraging off the existing
infrastructure
Technological advances such as DSL technology have
resulted in significant improvements

7. Addressing
Addressing appears to be another story
This is where the biggest arguments are taking place:

8. Common Sense View
“All over IP” world is the main, cross-sectors, motivator
for the integration of IPv6
Regardless of whether the address space will run out in 5
years or 10 years, all evidence seem to point to the fact
that we willhereneed a bigger address spaceYour Text here

Lack of a common view though is the greatest barrier to
deployment

10. IPv6 is the solution
1. To increase IP addressing space.
2. Incorporates improvements based on the lessons
learned from operating IPv4:
stateless autoconfiguration
•
more efficient mobility management
•

integrated IPsec
•
These are the fundamental aspects of IP version 6 (IPv6)
So why not use it?

11. What’s Holding it?
A very successful industry cannot be changed
overnight
Deployment can only happen incrementally
Authorities need to ensure that there is no
detrimental impact on IPv4 traffic in any way
Your Text here Your Text here
Under these conditions the two key questions that
need to be answered are:
• Is it possible to justify investments in an IP upgrade ?
• Can one ensure then the up-grade will not have adverse
impacts ?

14. How to Remove Barriers
 There are two primary obstacles to this phased deployment:
• People “don’t know how to implement it,”
• “still feel uncertain about its stability and quality,”
 Removal of the first barrier
• Can be done by preparing deployment manuals for each user entity
• Clarifying the deployment processes and security models
• Establishinghere

 Removal of the second barrier
• Verifying the reliability of IPv6
• Identifying design and operation bugs through demonstration
experiments and evaluations
