NTT’s Pre-commercial IPv6 Service in the US

In June of 2003, NTT Communications launched pre-commercial

IPv6 service in the US

Native IPv6 was available in three locations

Bay Area

Los Angeles

Washington D.C. Area

Cisco 7206 routers in these three locations running dual stack -

tunneling across the backbone (backbone not dual stack)

Tunneling (RFC 2893 manually configured IPv6 over IPv4)

available in all other POPs (tunnel built to one of the locations above)

Pre-commercial Service Objectives

Pre-commercial service was offered from June 2003 to

December 2003 (at which time commercial service was launched)

Pre-commercial objectives

Bring on a small, manageable number of customers

Test provisioning and support procedures

Train NOC staff

Finalize JunOS/IOS IPv6 testing

Develop internal tools

Allowed time to upgrade backbone to dual stack

Still just a few dual stack routers with tunneling across the

backbone everywhere else

NTT’s Commercial IPv6 Service Launch

In 4Q2003 global backbone was upgraded to dual stack(Asia, Australia, North America, and Europe)

In December, 2003, three types of IPv6 service were offered on a commercial basis

Native IPv6 (available at every POP)

Manually configured IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling

Dual stack IPv4/IPv6

AS2914 core completely dual stack (globally)

7x24 NOC support and SLAs

Still service functionality gaps

IPv6 Follow Up Releases

Since the commercial launch in December 2003, follow up releases have

been pushed out to fill functionality gaps

Added IPv6 support for

Off-net Tunneling

Managed Router Service

Shadow support for TDM and Ethernet

Managed Firewall

Dual stack Virtual Private Server

Our goal and philosophy is to offer all

features and services in IPv4 and IPv6

Dual Stack IP Backbone – April 2010

Highest quality global Tier-1 IP backbone

Fully redundant network backed by industry

leading SLA’s

Global IPv6/IPv4 dual stack network

Shortest access between Europe and

Asia-Pacific available via new cable route

Japan/Europe

27G

Asia/Ociania

147G

Japan/US

320GUS/Europe

60G

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Backbone

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Backbone has shown excellent performance with no critical problems so far

Core routers / routing protocols have had no problems handing IPv6 traffic (in addition to the IPv4 traffic/routing)

But still, we have some operational gaps

Stats tools are still lacking in the IPv6 environment (IPv6 MIB support, SNMP over IPv6 support…)

IPv6 jitter measurement system compatible with our IPv4 system

Limited netflow v9 collector support

Firewall and Load-Balancer support is immature for Data Center applications

Current Issues

Routing technology is “IPv4 with more address space”

Does not address routing architecture changes necessary to address expansion of the Internet routing table

IPv6 policy solution to slow routing table growth makes it difficult for customers to multi-homed

We need a solution to the multi-homing issues before IPv6 will be widely adopted

Not seeing a huge demand from our customers yet

Current customers are mostly research oriented

OMB “mandate” not leading to many new customers

What Will Finally Drive IPv6 Deployment?

IPv4 Address Depletion

IPv6 is one solution to address a shortage of IPv4 address space

This problem is more critical outside the U.S. where IPv4 address space is

historically more limited

Current projections put IPv4 exhaustion at the IANA level at September 2011

New Applications

Next generation network applications will require ubiquitous network access from a

wide range of devices

IPv6 provides address space to uniquely identify these new devices and better end-

to-end security to ease the deployment of these new services

We see new network applications as the most likely driver of IPv6 deployment
