ISOC-AU IPv6 Survey Narelle Clark Vice President ISOC-AU Optus

ISOC-AU Survey Results • Internet Society of Australia wanted gauge interest – Note: small sample size • Results showed: – 33% Very Interested, 55% Interested in IPv6 – 13% have done it, 13% planning,50% learning • 25% nothing at all – 80% Pro ISOC-AU participation in an Australian IPv6 Forum • only 1 respondent thinks it’s a waste of time • 18% think it should be top priority, 38% high – 3% deliver IPv6 today , 20% have used • 33% might have, 28% didn’t know there were any, and 18% didn’t know at all 2

ISOC-AU Survey Results • Approx 15% think network technology is business grade, 21 % good enough, or borderline – 65% don’t know 3

ISOC-AU Survey Results • Approx 15% each think computer/client technology is business grade, good enough, or borderline – 3% flaky – 55% don’t know 4

ISOC-AU Survey Results • Approx 8% each think application technology is business grade, – 18% good enough, or borderline – 8% flaky at best – 50% don’t know 5

Survey Conclusions? • Not rigorous enough to draw conclusions really, but • Membership is obviously keen for more activity • Board to pursue further activities • Some variance in the opinions of experienced people as to dependability, especially for application technology – Most who’ve done it regard it as high quality diehards? – Most who are planning trials are positive – No-one thinks IPv6 is a disaster – Only one respondent delivers services today 6

Case Study - IPv6 in Singpore Narelle Clark Mgr Advanced Network Architecture and R&D Optus

Singapore • /32 IPv6 address blocks allocated to SingTel mid 2002 • SingTel invited peering from early 2003 on a trial basis • From 2003 SingNet has offered two free IPv6 services: – IPv6 trial service for SingTel customers, and – IPv6 Tunnel Broker service for anyone (including non-SingTel customers) 8

Peering • In early 2003 SingNet invited regional/international IPv6 service providers to peer • This was to ensure value in the IPv6 connection • Currently peering partners include IPv6 service providers from Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, US, Canada, and Holland • Service is provided over Juniper M20 & M10 http://ipv6.singnet.com.sg/ipv6-peering/ 9

Criteria for Peering • Organisations or ISPs who wish to peer with SingNet must fulfil the following requirements: – must have a public ASN – must have a pTLA or a sTLA – native peering is preferred over tunnel. • SingNet reserves the right to suspend/terminate peering if a peering partner abuses the peering connection in any way.

Free to Customers! • A free IPv6 free trial service has been offered to SingTel's corporate customers since mid 2003 including: – /48 address block – Free IPv6 transit – Connectivity: Tunnel, Native, Dual-Stack – Routing Protocols: Static, BGP – DNS reverse zone delegation (optional) http://ipv6.singnet.com.sg/ 11

Tunnel Broker Service • SingNet offers a free IPv6 Tunnel Broker service to everyone , including non-Singtel customers • Commenced March 2004 • Currently about a thousand registered users • Most of the users are from Europe • Features: – Supports NAT and IPSec – Quick and easy on-line registration and tunnel setup • Required: – IPv6 capable platform eg Linux, Mac OS X or MS Windows – Internet connectivity – Protocol 41 needs to be open – an IPv6 capable browser like Mozilla http://tunnel-broker.singnet.com.sg/ 12

Experience – Performance • Routers in use: – Juniper M10 and M20 • Even dual stack routers show <10% CPU utilisation • IPv6 traffic load is small and has no impact on performance • Even highly loaded routers (traffic-wise) show no drop in performance No down time since commencement of operation 13

Experience – Issues? • Only thing that didn’t work was: – IPSec in tunnel broker system would not work with MTU of 1280 • work around ensures IPSec operation through an IPv4 IPSec encapsulation – In all other services IPSec worked without issue 14

Future Directions • NNTP (disk space limitations) • IRC • video streaming • radio streaming • ??? 15
