1 Internet in danger? Challenges of the new protocol IPv6 Katrien VAN WOUWE 7th of March 2013

2 Overview Context Challenges economical technical IPv6 in Belgium Conclusion Questions

3 Context : internet architecture and exhaustion of IP addresses Internet Protocol (IP) and IP addresses allow connected computers to communicate Extinction of IP addresses IPv4 Definition of a new version IPv6

4

5

6 The new IP addresses, new functionalities

7 Actuality 3 February 2011 : IANA distributed its 5 last blocs of IPv4 addresses 2012 : Exhaustion of the available IPv4 addresses in Europe

8 IPv4 reserve in different regions

9 «IPv6 : A quantity of addresses comparable to the amount of sand grains existing on Earth» Mark Zuckerberg

10 During a transition period IPv4 and IPv6 coexist No interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 Technologies to communicate between IPv4 and IPv6 Organisations, websites, companies only accessible in IPv6

11 Obstacles to IPv6 deployment by entreprises and users Lack of awareness Lack of commercial interest Lack of information and training Extra cost Lack of interoperability

12 Economic challenges for businesses Connectivity On-line applications Security Internet growth Innovation

13 Technical challenges : transitional or final solutions Sharing of IPv4 addresses Techniques interoperability of the two protocols Translation Tunneling Dual stack Transfer to IPv6

14 IPv6 in Belgium: Sites web IPv6 enabled : RTBF, IBPT, Belgium.be, and IPv6 Council Belgium Hosts offer migration of websites to IPv6 (Maedhros, Fusa, Open Minds, et Stone IS) ISP : project «Service Explore» offered by Belgacom launched in 2012 Few operators have implemented IPv6 on an operational level Home access (Residential SP): delayed

15 IPv6 in Belgium in numbers in 2012 Internal network: 31% IPv6 enabled On-line content: 48% IPv6 enabled

16 Insufficient IPv6 deployment in Europe and Belgium

17 Transfer to IPv6: Private operators Figure 1 Response of operators on IPv6 implimentation calendar Figure 1 Response of operators on IPv4 exhaustion calendar

18 IPv6 in Belgium : role of public authorities PFS Economy - DG. Telecom and information society: June 2012: conference for compamies, SPE s and consumers Working party at federal level with stakeholders, recommandations to the government

19 IPv6 in Belgium : role of public authorities BIPT : consultation of private operators FEDICT : IPv6 projects for the public service : New IPv6 enabled network since June 2009, IPv6 addresses are delivered to «FedMan» users Test websites accessible in IPv6 (IPv6.fedict.be, IPv6.economie.fgov.be) FCCU: study on cybercrime IPv6 Council Belgium: awareness rising projects

20 National plan for the implementation of IPv6 Decision Belgian government 22 June 2012 FPS Economy, DG Telecom and Information society tasked with the implementation Fedict: Circulaire in implementation of IPv6 project on national administrative level 15 October 2012

21 National implementation plan : 10 Steps Each administration: calendar, strategy and modalities for migration to IPv6 All public websites, internal websites and servers of administrations IPv6 compatible within 2 years Public procurement based on certification for IPv6 compatibility National operators: Commercial services IPv6 compatible within 2 years Technological industry: development plans for IPv6 compatible devices Awareness rising trough best practices and training All companies: preparation of IPv6 implementation schemes Universities and research institutions: internal networks IPv6 compatible and gradual introduction of IPv6 in research Consumer protection: information on IPv6 compatibility and limited lifecycle and sharing of IPv4 addresses IPv6 working party: coordination of implementation in Belgium

22 Time is running Delay in IPv6 implementation Socio-economic development at stake Lack of information and user knowledge
