The  IPv6  Challenge  •  Despite  considerable  publicity  and  predicMons    of  IPv4  address  

Armageddon  adopMon  of  IPv6  is  anemic    •  Although  IPv6  is  deployed  on  many  networks,  take  up  by  end  users/

devices  is  slow    •  Carrier  grade  NAT  seems  to  be  the  default  path  for  IPv4  exhausMon  

–  RouMng  vendors  like  it  because  they  can  sell  more  complex  and  expensive  gear  

–  Carriers  like  it  because  they  can  lock  in  their  customers    

•  If  aSer  10  years  we  sMll  can’t  make  IPv6  fly,  then  maybe  its  Mme  to  rethink  our  strategy,  especially  for  those  of  who  believe  in  the  original  Internet  vision.    Two  approaches:  –  New  business  models  for  market  adopMon  –  New  technology

New  Market  AdopMon  IPv6  SURFnet-­‐KPN  pilot  

•  Most  future  internet  access  will  be  mobile  devices  like  iPad  and  iPhone  

•  SURFnet-­‐KPN  pilot  will  be  world’s  fist  enterprise  centric  integrated  LTE-­‐mobile  network    -­‐  extremely  low  data  prices  

 •  SURFnet  “leasing  /8”  to  KPN  in  exchange  for  pilot  on  naMonal  wireless  mobile  

broadband  for  universiMes  and  students    •  SURFmobile  will  be  LTE  with  IPv6  only  with  integrated  campus  Wifi  at  universiMes,  

coffee  shops,  trains,  etc    •  Will  use  IPv6  Eduroam  to  allow  free  internaMonal  roaming  

•  Other  pilots  under  development  in  UK,  US,  Australia,  etc.    Canada??    •  h`p://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8586756976616257717#editor/

IPv6  alternaMve?  •  Most  Internet  traffic  is  not  end-­‐to-­‐end  

–  45-­‐90%  of  traffic  terminates  at  CDN  or  cloud  –  Major  implicaMon  in  terms  for  IPv4/IPv6  desMnaMon  based  rouMng  and  

addressing    

•  Numeric  addressing  is  an  anachronism  imposed  by  limitaMons  of  forwarding  engine  on  routers  

 •  Possible    IPv6  alternaMves:  

–  Named  Data  Networking    (NDN)–  Van  Jacobson  –  Delay  Tolerant  Networking  (DTN)  –  Vint  Cerf  -­‐  late  binding  of  DNS  +  XML  –  XML  rouMng  and  addressing  (W3C)

DNSSEC  –  the  next  IPv6?  •  Again,  to  us  techies,  there  seems  to  be  a  clear  and  

compelling  need  for  DNSSEC    •  Already  several  events  of  DNS  cache  poisoning  in  Brazil  and  

elsewhere    •  Is  signing  and  delegaMng  the  root  sufficient?  

•  Do  we  just  sit  back  and  wait  for  ISPs  and  users  to  adopt?    •  Or  do  we  try  to  be  more  proacMve  with  new  business  

models  that  make  life  easier  for  end  users  and  insMtuMons?

Netherlands  pilot  to  deploy  DNSSEC  at  universiMes  

•  Many  universiMes  in  Netherlands  starMng  to  outsource  DNS  management    •  SURFdomeinen  is  a  web-­‐based  portal  that  allows  DNS  operators  of  connected  

insMtuMons  to:  –  register  or  migrate  domain  names  in  the  following  top-­‐level  domains  

(TLDs):  .nl,  .com,  .net,  .org,  .info  and  .eu;  –  manage  contact  details  for  contacts  associated  with  registered  domains;  –  create  secondary  DNS  configuraMons  on  SURFnet  name  servers  for  their  domains;  –  manage  complete  DNS  zones  that  are  then  served  out  by  SURFnet  name  servers.  –  DNSSEC  support  has  been  integrated  into  the  managed  DNS  funcMonality.    

•  Not  yet  deliver  a  full  end-­‐user  service  due  to  restricMons  imposed  by  the  fact  that  SIDN  does  not  yet  have  a  process  for  automated  submission  of  secure  delegaMons  (DS)  for  the  .nl  zone.

Conclusions  •  IPv6  and  DNNSEC  is  hard  and  costly    •  On  its  own  provides  NO  new  benefits,  only  protecMon  from  possible  

real  and  hypotheMcal  negaMve  externaliMes    •  To  promote  success  need  to  link  these  technologies  to  services  that  

enable  new  capabiliMes    e.g.  –  Low  cost  broadband  mobile  wireless  –  Out  sourcing  DNS  management  

•  Need  funding  program  and  early  adopters  such  as  universiMes  and  R&E  networks  to  promote  adopMon  –  A  sitng  back  and  hope  strategy  will  not  work
