IPv6 Services: Present & Future Yurie Rich President, Native6, Inc. Business Director,
Approach to IPv6 Pragmatic AND/OR
IPv6: The Growing Protocol IPv6 is mainstream IPv6 ability in OS & network hardware largely there Current momentum established by edict, but sustained only by innovation & desire We need more!
IPv6: One puzzle piece Powerful Computers Always On High Bandwidth IPv6 The Future Mobility Diversity
A Pragmatic approach to IPv6 Fundamental premises for services Can t lose anything Must maintain the status quo (for useful services) Adoption must either Have a positive financial impact Enable competitive advantage Must make things LESS complicated
IP-based Services Seems like everything is moving to IP Communications Commerce (financial transactions) Entertainment Record keeping and access Public services Military usage
What IP is touching
Why IPv6? Features of protocol well suited to enable the next evolutionary stage in Information Technology Address space (large and diverse) Autoconfiguration ability (plug-n-play) Mobility (improves mobility model) End-to-End security (high comfort factor) Extension headers (offer enormous potential)
IP-based Services Communications
Communications Using IP-based services for all forms of communications E-mail VoIP Instant Messaging Video Teleconferencing Web-casting
VoIP VoIP, despite market set backs, is showing exceptional promise Found in many forms, including ILEC/RBOC using for long-haul transport Large enterprises deploying VoIP solutions for campus communications Consumers experimenting with digital phone service, web VoIP, voice in IM
VoIP Examples Backbone transport July, 2002 Verizon announces move to VoATM Feb, 2001 AT&T launches VoIP portfolio (Link) Oct., 2001 Qwest announces it will replace all circuit switched telephony to VoIP (Link) Enterprise deployment Cisco Systems estimates increase VoIP systems sales from $250M to $1B next year Consumer use Vonage, Comcast, Cablevision, Time Warner all deploying or preparing to deploy services over web or digitally over their distribution systems.

Communications - Unified Benefits of a unified system Ultimately less complex Ultimately cheaper to build, implement, operate, and maintain End-user experience improved* Easier to translate one type of communication into another
IP-based Services Mobility-centric
Mobility-based Services Mobility-based services largely confined to cellular phones Device/function convergence pushing same services to alternative devices

IP-based Services Product Tethering
IPv6 & Product Tethering Ability for user and manufacturer to access online devices. Current model has severe limitations IPv6 address space offers ability to uniquely identify each device Remote access with an improved security model
Product Tethering New product tethering paradigm for any device that can go online
Consumer Benefits of Tethering Remote Access Autoconfiguration Web Interface Service Participation
Producer Benefits of Tethering (P2P) Service Upgrades Usage Data Telemetry Troubleshooting Warranty
IP-based Services Content Delivery
Future Content Delivery Systems Delivering digital content Whatever I want Whenever I want it To wherever I want it Whenever I want it
Content Distribution Systems Delivery Resources Servers, datacenter, billing Application i.e tivo, etc IPv6 The enabler Enhanced Features Security, flow labels, ext-hdr flexible Wireless/Mobility Anywhere anytime
Anywhere/Anytime Content
Challenges
Product Lifecycle Stable Telematics VoIP Maturing E-mail Network Management Product Tethering Pilot Emerging
Challenges Stable Services Little innovation, little growth, little incentive Maturing Bugs worked out, changing course in midstream Emerging Design set, understanding impact of change Concept Easier to incorporate, only have to overcome preconceptions
Opportunities Plenty of room for innovation because of IPv6 removes technical limitations on existing infrastructure has tremendous extensibility tremendous mobility enabler Already customers wanting services
