IPv6 expertise is rare National IPv6 Task Force Gathers different stakeholders, solidifies efforts, serves as an IPv6 knowledge platform, establishes contacts with international IPv6 organizations such as the IPv6 Forum IPv6 R&D Funding R&D funding would foster knowhow expertise and help establish the needed IPv6 expertise (in addition to training) 16

22 Infrastructure Track IPv6 Addressing The objective of this initiative is for Service Providers to acquire IPv6 Address Blocks Local IPv6 Address Status IPv6 Address Delegation Important Points Only two (2) LIRs have acquired IPv6 address blocks from RIPE NCC: 1. KACST: 2001:1490::/32 06/2003 Advertised 2. STC: 2001:16a0::/32 12/2003 Not-Advertised Source: RIPE NCC IANA RIPE NCC LIRs ISPs, End Users Service Providers to decide IPv6 Address blocks size based on their future needs If the service provider is not an LIR, it should request IPv6 addressing from its upstream provider Currently no IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Addressing in RIPE Region 22

23 Infrastructure Track IPv6 Commercial Support for Nationwide Infrastructure The objective of this initiative is for Service Providers to provide commercial IPv6 services through: IPv6 Internet -FBPs to implement IPv6 in their Networks -FBPs to acquire IPv6 Upstream Service Upstream International SPs Outside KSA -FBPs to Implement IPv6 in Future Peering -FBPs to implement IPv6 in their applications/services FBP1 IGWs FBP2 IGWs FBP3 IGWs 23 ISPs ISPs ISPs Regular ISPs ISPs ISPs ISPs FBPs support for IPv6 is essential for regular ISPs to connect to the IPv6 internet
