5 GCIO Circular #1 Agencies, through the course of technology and application refresh cycles or where funding is available, are expected to: ensure all public/external Internet facing services (e.g. websites, , DNS) are accessible and operationally use IPv6 ensure that internal networks, applications and devices operationally use IPv6 provide status updates on their progress to the Office of the GCIO.

6 Common capabilities IPv6 status one.govt igovt (release 10) Infrastructure as a Service Common Web Services (part of specification)

7 NZ IPv6 readiness

8 Other early adopters Ministry of Cultural & Heritage has IPv6 enabled many of their web sites Ministry of Science + Innovation has enabled their web site for IPv6 Tauranga City Council has enabled IPv6 to many web sites Department of Statistics has an IPv6 Programme

9 The DIA experience to date [Robert White]

10 Some IPv6 myths found in DIA That there is backward compatibility between IPv4 and IPv6 That it will cost you a lot of money That DIA may enough IPv4 addressing so we don t need to do anything That it would be hard!

11 What has DIA done so far? Oct 2010 Ensured.govt.nz DNS platform is fully IPv6 ready Jan 2011 Stood up a IPv6 Government pilot website that is accessible by both IPv4 and IPv6 clients [dual stack]. () Ensuring common capability services i.e. one.govt, IaaS, igovt and Common Web Services will be or are IPv6 ready Using 30+ IPv6 ready WAN links [one.govt] and IPv6 ready Internet links [one.govt]

12 What has DIA done so far continued Jan 2012: Launched an elearning web based application ilearn.dia.govt.nz [dual stack] Feb 2012: Enabled IPv6 access [dual stack] to the following existing web sites: webstandards.govt.nz data.govt.nz dns.govt.nz

13 What DIA is looking to do next Tactical: Looking to IPv6 enable some more web sites Tactical: Recognising any other quick win opportunities Strategic: Ensuring IPv6 will be a requirement for the existing web optimisation project Strategic: DIA is looking at a redevelopment of its entire network. IPv6 will be a requirement
