It includes a network user directory, a protocol accessible Public Key Infrastructure (think of it as PKI as a Service) and an IP address registry. Some of this functionality has been available in previous protocols (e.g. DNS, OCSP, LDAP), but IRP improves on that functionality and puts all of it together in one unified, simple to implement, secure protocol.

The IPv6 transition is all about scaling up our IP powered infrastructure as the World is rapidly approaching IPv4 address space exhaustion while the wave of Internet Of Things is rolling in. The Cloud adoption is about driving agility in our service delivery and providing the business with service options. Both transitions happen at the same time, they are complex in their own right (each touches every aspect of IT) and they are interdependent. Driving one without consideration for the other will lead to suboptimal solutions that will require expensive and impactful rework. To be blunt, Cloud will not be able to reach its promise if it is not built on top of IPv6. The current IPv4 based clouds are mere proofs of concept for the envisioned, ubiquitous cloud based services.

Unfortunately, the implementation in the current Mozilla Firefox browser will almost always choose to connect over IPv4 even if IPv6 is available and there is a AAAA record published (so long as there is also an A record published). This is impeding the growth of IPv6 traffic, and may interfere with some sites that provide premium content (or content that simply won’t work over IPv4) to people who connect over IPv6. The most recent Internet Explorer browser also implements Happy Eyeballs, but most of the time if IPv6 is available, it will choose IPv6. even there, it should be possible to disable it. For a demonstration of the problem (assuming you have IPv6 connectivity), If you install the “sixornot” addon in Firefox, you can see even better what is happening. http://www.v6address.com" For detailed information on IPv6, including a free IPv6 Forum Silver Course, see: www.sixscape.com" Published by Lawrence Hughes, Founder & CEO of Sixscape -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW IPV6 BOOK FOR BRAZIL IPv6 Book web site: http://labcisco.blogspot.com.br/ IPv6 Course at UNIMEP : http://unimep.br/gdc_cursos_conteudo.php?cod=205" Published by Prof. Ms. Samuel Henrique Bucke Brito, IPv6 Forum Certified Trainer (Gold), CCDP, CCNP, CCNA-Voice, CCDA, CCNA, JNCIA-Junos Coordenador do Curso de Redes de Computadores UNIMEP - Universidade Metodista de Piracicaba, Brazil -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6LAB & INTERNET OF EVERYTHING BY CISCO 6Lab web site: http://6lab.cisco.com/stats/ Internet of Everything web site: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac79/innov/IoE.html The White paper itself on IoE economy is here: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac79/docs/innov/IoE_Economy.pdf Published by Alain FIOCCO, Sr. Director, IPv6 High Impact Project , Cisco Systems -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IPV6 IN MOROCCAN UNIVERSITIES In the context of Moroccan universities, an IPv6 address plan has been established by MARWAN (http://www.marwan.ma) since 2006. This plan consist of dividing the Moroccan national territory to many regions, and many universities per region. Each university can have many academic institutions. MARWAN is a LIR (Local Internet Registry), and has the IPv6 prefix : 2001:4310::/32 which leads to 65536 networks (/48). MARWAN has divided the national territory up to 256 regions.

While Free had until then no short term plan to offer IPv6 service, Rani Assaf, the CTO of Free, immediately decided to implement the solution. Five weeks later, with due marketing approval and operational validation, the press release announcing that IPv6 was available to Free's customers was issued. The first draft describing the 6rd mechanism and Free's deployment was submitted to IETF on 9 February 2008[6] After improvements, it was published on 24 January 2010 as informational RFC 5569. In March 2010 a Working Group of the IETF approved that its latest draft on 6rd should become, after some more modifications, a standards-track RFC. In August 2010 the standards-track RFC 5969 was published. In October 2010 Comcast made 6rd software for home gateway devices available via open source for free. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_rapid_deployment/ Dr. Rémi Després, French engineer and entrepreneur known for his contributions on Data networking. attended École Polytechnique of Paris, of which he holds an Engineer degree.

In the memory of Jim Bound, this project will be called BOUNDv6. Jim in his interview with NetworkWorld back in 2004 had the vision and the audacity to make big things happen: www.networkworld.com/news/2004/092704ipv6qa.html?nl/ The goal of the Boundv6 network is to create a permanent multi-vendor network environment connecting initially IPv6 Ready Logo approved labs and USG approved labs where the community can test IPv6 enabled applications and devices in meaningful test scenarios which will form the base of the NEW INTERNET. Boundv6 is targeted at Government and critical networks, Enterprise, ISPs and Apps Developers. The biggest challenge will be that all implementations will be encouraged to have security built-in on all tested cases. Boundv6 is supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the US Government Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN). "The Boundv6 effort will form an important adjunct to the USGv6 product testing program in helping Government agencies achieve their 2012 and 2014 IPv6 deployment mandates. NIST hopes to facilitate broader USG participation and use of the BoundV6 network to perform vital integration testing of the IPv6 enabled services necessary to achieve these goals." states Doug Montgomery, Manager Internet and Scalable Systems Research and USGv6 Project Lead, National Institute of Standards and Technology. “IPv6 is ready for prime time, but some business models and applications are not ready for IPv6. Boundv6 presents a great opportunity for validation and testing for the next phase of implementations.” states Ron Broersma, Chief Engineer, Defence Research and Engineering Network (DREN) “IPv6 should be deployed “native” to sustain the current Internet business models worldwide. Boundv6 will lay a permanent ground for parity check of the current business models.” states Latif Ladid, President, IPv6 Forum, Senior Researcher at University of Luxembourg, Security and Trust (SnT) Center. Emeritus Trustee, Internet Society (ISOC) “Moonv6 was about vendor interoperability. Boundv6 is about validating applications ensuring service parity.” Says Yanick Pouffary General Chairperson for the IPv6 Logo Programs (Ready & Enabled & Education), IPv6 Forum Fellow and NAv6TF Technology Director. "Creating opportunities and discovering new ways to test IPv6 is important to the progression and transition process. The Boundv6 Network will enable the IPv6 industry to collaborate with labs and other participating vendors in order to ensure high quality of services and connectivity. " states Erica Johnson, Lead of the Boundv6 Project, Director, UNH-IOL, IPv6 Ready Logo Regional Officer, IPv6 Forum Fellow, USA Full press release can bee seen here: www.marketwire.com/press-release/The-IPv6-Forum-Launches-BOUNDv6-World-IPv6-Internet-1557716.htm/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IPV6 FORUM CERTIFIED CERTIFICATION PROGRAM BEIJING, CHINA – PENANG, MALAYSIA – SAN JOSE, USA - LUXEMBOURG, July 4, 2011– The IPv6 Forum Education Logo Program Committee releases a new program; The IPv6 Education Certified Certification Logo Program. This program will certify vendor certifications that assess IPv6 expertise per IPv6 Forum’s specification with Silver & Gold Logo levels and also requires IPv6 enabled in the Certification program website. In order to be certified, the required exams must cover all mandatory exam topics outlined in section 3.4 in the requirement specifications document. Two levels of certification are provided by the IPv6 Forum Certified Certification program: Silver certifications will include beginner and intermediate IPv6 topics; Gold certification will include topics of all skill levels including advanced IPv6 topics. “The large number of requests from successfully tested engineers to have their exams recognized by the IPv6 Forum Education Logo program has led us to take this program to the next level and formalize the steps to recognize the successful engineers. The IPv6 transition will happen thru these engineers.” states Latif Ladid, President, IPv6 Forum, Senior Researcher at University of Luxembourg, Security and Trust (SnT) Center. Emeritus Trustee, Internet Society (ISOC) “The demand for IPv6 trained engineers has changed significantly in just the past 3-6 months. The industry needs IPv6 trained certified engineers, NOW. This next level of IPv6 Education Logo Program is absolutely needed as it is designed to certify vendors certification programs uniformly across the industry. Thus allowing more network engineers to be certified. These IPv6 certified engineers will help ensure a seamless growth of the Internet based on IPv6.” states Yanick Pouffary General Chairperson for the IPv6 Logo Programs (Ready & Enabled & Education), IPv6 Forum Fellow and NAv6TF Technology Director. “It is obvious now that well-trained IPv6 network engineers are necessary for successful IPv6 integration and transition. The new “certified certification” initiative from IPv6 Forum Education Logo program will further promote IPv6 adoption by providing an opportunity for networking vendors to enable their certification programs “IPv6 Ready” and officially recognized.” states Liu Dong, Chair China IPv6 Council and Chair IPv6 enabled Program -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IPV6 ISP HALL OF FAME LUXEMBOURG, June 30, 2011– The IPv6 Forum has introduced the ISP Enabled Program which has attracted about 100 ISPs over the last 12 months. Now is the time to light up IPv6 service massively to end-users. Those ISPs offering IPv6 Service will be listed on the ISP Hall of Fame in this contest which will last until December 6, 2011. From the 8700 organisations worldwide that have received IPv6 prefixes from the IP registries, some 50% have announced their prefixes on the routing table. However only a fraction of these have offered IPv6 service to their customers. The World IPv6 Day has demonstrated that with IPv6 enabled service, the expected great impact could have happened. It is quite normal that ISPs would need more time to enable IPv6 service after the central IANA IP address pool depletion in February 2011. To register your IPv6 Service in the IPv6 Service Hall of Fame, please go to the IPv6 Enabled Program to get your ISP Logo, then a proof of service deployment to your customer on your web site offering IPv6 service to your customers would be needed: http://www.ipv6forum.com/ipv6_Hall-of-fame/ “ISPs have now the opportunity to demonstrate their pioneering work and be the first on the IPv6 Service Hall of Fame” states Latif Ladid, IPv6 Forum President Senior Researcher at University of Luxembourg, Security and Trust (SnT) Center. Emeritus Trustee, Internet Society. “The World IPv6 day has demonstrated that the ISPs are the missing link in this evolution” states Yanick Pouffary, NAv6TF Technology Director, IPv6 Forum Fellow and IPv6 Forum (Ready & Enabled) Logo Programs Chairperson. “The ISP Enable Program has seen steady growth. However, there is still a lot of work ahead of us to get IPv6 service around the world on equal footing, This program will give the IPv6 pioneers a chance to make immediate impact." states Liu Dong, Chair China IPv6 Council, Chair, IPv6 Enable Program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IRAQ IPV6 COUNCIL HAS BEEN FORMED Baghdad/Luxembourg, May 10, 2011 - The IPv6 Forum welcomes Iraq as its newest country member with the establishment of the IPv6 Council Iraq under the leadership of his excellency Minister Allawi, Minister of Communications, as the Chairman of the IPv6 Council Iraq and Mrs. Itidal Hasoon as the co-chair. “Modernising the national Internet and Communication critical infrastructure is a vital political next step to sustain the growth and stability of the Internet at this juncture as the IPv4 address space has been completely depleted.

A recent study on IPv6 security funded by the European Commission has determined that IPv6 and IPv4 are using the same IPsec-based security protocols and mechanisms. However, IPv6 mandates built-in IPsec making IPv6 security deployment more efficient. IPv6 provides end-to-end (e2e) transparency facilitating thereby e2e security models (i.e. using IPsec/IKE end-to-end) without NAT traversal issues, more fine grained security policies and filtering rules can be applied due to the unique end system addresses, and IPv6 offers the possibility of end-to-end identification and authentication. The summary of the European Commission white paper on the IPv6 security study can be downloaded here: http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/policy/ipv6/docs/studies/executive_summary_v1.3_en.pdf The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently published the “Guidelines for the secure deployment of IPv6” written by Sheila Frankel, Richard Graveman and John Pearce, security experts and authorities on this topic. As of July 2010, U.S. Government agencies require IPv6 compliant products in IT acquisitions. The document can be viewed here: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/800-119/draft-sp800-119_feb2010.pdf IPsec was designed at the beginning for IPv6 to benefit from the e2e restoration. However, IPsec was adapted to IPv4 and was quite successfully deployed where NAT was not in the middle. IPv6 requires changing of firewall policies, i.e. multicast and ICMP traffic should not be blocked by default. Moreover, several operating systems enable IPv6 by default but users/administrators may not be aware of this, leaving temporarily room for IPv6 attacks. This requires training of network administrators now in order to get appropriate protection in place. "The IPv6 deployment should be undertaken with upfront security consideration. Some 40 IPsec implementations have passed the IPv6 Ready Logo program. This program wishes to scale up understanding and use of IPsec in all network security scenarios with greater security benefit" states Latif Ladid, President of the IPv6 Forum, Senior Researcher at University of Luxembourg Security & trust (SnT) center, Emeritus Trustee Internet Society. "IPv6 will facilitate and accelerate the deployment of e2e services (i.e. e-government services), requiring user-friendly security mechanisms (i.e. user authentication via certificates). Moreover, peer-to-peer based services (between unknown parties) require globally unique addressing and identification in order to support a global credential service using certificates." states Wolfgang Fritsche, IPv6 security Study Coordinator and Expert on IPv6 Security at IABG "IPsec is a fundamental core building block of the communication puzzle. IPsec with IPv4 has been difficult to deploy due, in part, to the lack of globally routable IPv4 addresses and the wide use of NATs. IPsec is a mandatory part of an IPv6 implementation. This Logo recognizes implementations that have implemented IPsec. It will allow the industry to further secure its communication and infrastructure components.” states Yanick Pouffary, IPv6 Forum (Ready & Enabled) Logo programs chairperson, IPv6 Forum Fellow & NAv6TF Technology Director. ‘’IPsec is a key feature that will be critical for securing the IPv6 network, particularly as the number of active devices and applications increase exponentially. The IPv6 Ready Logo program for IPsec will follow the other successful IPv6 Forum Ready Logo programs in ensuring that these critical features conform to the standards and interoperate in heterogeneous networks” states Erica Johnson, IPv6 Ready Logo Regional Officer, IPv6 Forum Fellow “IPsec works far better on IPv6 than on IPv4, due to the absence of NAT on IPv6 connections. IPsec is simply incompatible with the NAT found everywhere on the First Internet. NAT traversal can be used, but it complicates the implementation and adds new security issues. VPNs and secure remote access will work better than ever on the Second Internet. The final piece of the IPsec puzzle is to use IKEv2 with IPsec Digital Certificates to automate the mutual authentication process. IPv6 Ready certification of IPsec and IKEv2 will insure that these technologies work as designed.” Lawrence Hughes, IPv6 Ready Logo Regional Officer and Author of “The Second Interne "The ubiquitous computing environment is now accelerated by the trend of smart grids. In such a society, security is the most important element. It is nice to highlight IPsec, which is the key component for real ubiquitous computing." states Hiroshi Miyata, IPv6 Ready Logo Regional Officer, IPv6 Forum Fellow.

This program defines and certifies courses, engineers and trainers with Silver & Gold Logo levels and requires IPv6 implementation on the web site of the education program. A recent survey on IPv6 training and studies at universities and vendors has demonstrated that IPv6 training and courses are way too embryonic to have any critical impact. It is estimated that some 20 million engineers are working on the current Internet worldwide at ISPs, corporate and all other public and private organizations and they will need quality training on IPv6. This is a gigantic task since it’s the first upgrade of the Internet and most probably the last one for decades to come. The web site of the study can be seen here: http://www.training4ipv6.eu/ The IPv6 Forum Education Logo Program’s prime objective is to encourage and accelerate the education on IPv6 and promote thereby swifter adoption of IPv6 in the education curriculum and programs of the universities, research institutes, vendors and training specialists. This program is designed to increase practical engineering expertise and hands-on knowledge to tackle this large undertaking ahead of us extending thereby user confidence by demonstrating that IPv6 will be deployed by qualified engineers. ”This program has been designed to prepare a wide range of players for the implementation and use of IPv6. It is intended as an aid to capacity building and a way to promote IPv6 awareness." states Dr. Vint Cerf, Honorary Chair, IPv6 Forum ”The IPv6 Forum wishes to recognize the IPv6 training experts for their pioneering work to be used as a precursor model encouraging the education sector in the universities and vendor training programs to adopt their quality training courses to win time and train qualified engineers to deploy IPv6 with expertise and quality." states Latif Ladid, President, IPv6 Forum, Senior Researcher at University of Luxembourg, Security and Trust (SnT) Center. Emeritus Trustee, Internet Society (ISOC) "The IPv6 Curriculum study has abundantly demonstrated that hands-on IPv6 skills and field experience are dearly missing. Achieving parity between IPv4 and IPv6 deployment, quality expertise is the one pillar to focus on.

Last Friday June 11, John Chambers addressed the third annual Google IPv6 Implementation conference, which was opened by Vint Cerf in Mountain View. John outlined Cisco’s longstanding commitment to helping customers address this issue and build effective plans for migration. In 2007, Cisco Distinguished Engineer Mark Townsley first issued a challenge to this IPv6 community to eat its own dog food in its own conferences and so, appropriately enough John’s video contribution to the conference was indeed streamed over IPv6: http://blogs.cisco.com/news/comments/john_chambers_outlines_ciscos_commitment_to_ipv6_at_google_conference/ Clearly IPv4 exhaust is on the horizon, but Cisco sees IPv4 and IPv6 coexisting for quite some time. There are many variables involved, on the social, geographical, and even regional level that are affecting the speed with which customers are approaching the question. IPv6 is a new IP protocol mandated by the federal government for compliance across all organizations, It is designed to replace IPv4, the Internet protocol currently deployed and used most extensively throughout the world. The benefits of IPv6 include: - Simplified packet header for routing efficiency - Mandatory IP Security (IPSec) implementation for all IPv6 devices - Improved support for mobile IP and mobile computing devices - Enhanced multicast support with increased addresses and efficient mechanisms Cisco has been actively engaged in running IPv6 deployment councils for the last 2 years to provide ‘customer to customer’ forums to encourage discussion about the issue and to nurture an environment where customers can share their ideas and experiences.
