IPv6 network infra.

• MAGPI GigaPoP: 2002

• Penn Campus network: initial deployment 2005

• Only core infrastructure & some IT dept subnets

• School of Engineering & Applied Science: 2007

• Summer 2011: All campus wired subnets done

• May 2012: All wireless subnets deployed (~ 200)

• Sep 2012: Wireless deployment backed out due to vendor issues

• DNS

• NTP

• Jabber (XMPP)

• SSH

• H.323 Video conferencing services

www.upenn.edu

• Main Penn website located on Akamai’s global CDN (Content Delivery Network)

Central Email

• No IPv6 deployment yet

• Virus scanning and spam scoring outsourced to Message Labs (now Symantec Cloud)

• So they act as inbound MX, and outbound relay

• Symantec Cloud has no apparent plans to support IPv6

• Considering our options ....

IPv6 traffic traversing campus border since World IPv6 Launch

23

Under-reported outbound traffic due to a bug in Juniper router network export software

Dramatic decline in traffic after turning off IPv6 on our wireless network due to a bug in Aruba controller software (specifically, breaking Layer-3 IP address mobility).

We are working with Aruba on a solution to this problem.

inbound: IPv4 89%, IPv6 11%outbound: IPv4 96%, IPv6 4%
