Questions/Queries 2 Preparing for Future Communications The Internet Architecture is based on the Internet Protocol (IP). This protocol connects different network elements like router, servers, hosts, computers, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices, mobile phones, sensors etc. This protocol specifies that each device should have a unique address to communicate globally with other devices on the Network. This address is known as the “IP Address”. 4/9/2015 3 Internet Protocol & IP Address IP Address The Internet Protocol (IP) specifies that each device (router, servers, hosts, computers, Radio Frequency Identification devices (RFID) , mobile phones, sensors etc. )on a network should have a unique address to communicate globally with other devices on the Network. ROLE OF IP ADDRESS ? WHO ? WHERE ? HOW ? 4/9/2015 Identification of Parties to the Communication Transaction Determine the network location of the Identified Party Used to support Routing Decisions 4 4 IPV4 Address (Present) • Total Addresses = 2^32 = 4 billion • Some addresses are reserved for special purposes like private networks or multicast addresses. However practicall only 250 million addresses are usable. 4/9/2015 IPV6 Address (Future) Total Addresses = 2^128 = 340 billion, billion, billion, billion 5 Where do IP addresses come from? Standards Allocation Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) distribute IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the Internet community RIRs maintain accurate registration of Internet resource usage for the community Allocation Assignment En d 6 A quick summary • IPv4 addresses are a finite resource – Less than 5% remaining • But the demand for IP addresses will keep growing – More devices are requiring IP addresses – IP addresses are a pre-requisite for broadband penetration • The remaining 5% is not large enough to support such demand • IPv6 is the only solution ! 7 7 Why our country needs adequate IP Addresses ? 8 • India ranks #18* in IPv4 address allocation behind Taiwan and Netherlands • IPv4 address stats: US-1.4B, CN-204M, JP-159M, NL-22M, IN-18.8M* • Anomaly: At rank #3, India has great Internet potential by usage but grossly insufficient resources * Source: http://www.bgpexpert.com/addressespercountry.php (As on 31/3/2009 with inputs from Nielsen Online and ITU) 4/9/2015 9 Adequate IP Addresses for Wireless Data Services Rapidly Growing Mobile Data Subscribers 160 149.02 140 120 126.97 127.04 14.05 14.63 117.82 101.1 100 88.27 80 75.97 66.09 60 57.83 46.37 40 38.02 31.3 20 9.27 13.54 12.85 12.24 11.66 11.09 10.36 9.63 9.22 15.13 Internet subscriber base Dec/09 Nov/09 Oct/09 Sep/09 Aug/09 Jul/09 Jun/09 Apr/09 May/09 Mar/09 Feb/09 Jan/09 Dec/08 Nov/08 Oct/08 Sep/08 Aug/08 Jul/08 Jun/08 Apr/08 May/08 Mar/08 Feb/08 Jan/08 Dec/07 Nov/07 Oct/07 Sep/07 Aug/07 Jul/07 Jun/07 May/07 Apr/07 Mar/07 0 wireless internet 10 Adequate IP Addresses for the following • Next Generation Networks (NGN) • All types of Communication devices in 4G scenario • For expanding the country’s e-governance infrastructure • Organizational Networks, Public servers and websites etc. ALL Communication Networks and Devices will need IP Addresses 11 11 Country Country Code Addresses(million) Per Capita United States US 1474.319 5.297 China CN 194.425 0.152 Japan JP 153.327 1.210 European Union EU 114.103 - Germany DE 85.300 1.038 Canada CA 76.197 2.446 South Korea KR 72.239 1.542 United Kingdom GB 70.795 1.187 France FR 68.385 1.155 Australia AU 37.378 1.979 Italy IT 32.344 0.561 Brazil BR 29.755 0.175 Russian Federation RU 24.919 0.170 Taiwan TW 24.681 1.109 Spain ES 22.065 0.559 Mexico MX 21.503 0.217 Netherlands NL 21.249 1.339 Sweden SE 18.998 2.144 India IN 18.312 0.018 4/9/2015 http://www.bgpexpert.com/addressespercountry.php 12 Solution ? Only 18.5 million IPv4 addresses for a population of 1.2 billion in India. • But the requirement for IP addresses will keep increasing with new services, new networks, new applications. • Telecommunications will be largest consumer of IP addresses in coming years (Broadband, 3G, NGN, 4G, LTE etc.) • IPv4 is a diminishing resource and is very costly compared to IPv6 right now and will be more costlier with passage of time IPv6 is the only solution ! 13 13 IPv4 Consumption: Projection Expected IANA Pool Depletion - October 2011 Expected RIR Pool Depletion - August 2012 Current Availability = 16 blocks (of /8 addresses) = 268 million for whole world Consumption ~ 2 blocks / month 14 14 How IPv6 will help ? • Large Address Space – 128-bit addressing scheme, practically unlimited addresses to connect every possible device • End to End Communication – Useful from Security angle since every device on the network can be traced, not possible in IPv4 due to NAT (Network Address Translation) • Improved Security using IPSec – Mandatory implementation in IPv6 ensures that all transmission is secured • Support for 4G, NGN – IP is mandatory in 4G technologies like LTE and NGN implementations, so IPv6 is only option • IP Mobility – Cellular telephony like features in IP networks is possible – new “Greenfield Applications” possible 15 • Partition of the Internet - Absence of wide enough deployment of IPV6 will cause the partition of the Internet , some regions will deploy IPV6 and some will run on IPV4 using NATs • Barriers to Innovation and New services - Application developers have to build increasingly complex central gateways to allow “NATted” clients to communicate with each other • p2p applications • VoIP • Video Conferencing • Collaborative environment However, each IPV6 device connected to the network is potentially a P2P device. 4/9/2015 16 Initiatives by Government Various issues on IPv6 were deliberated at different levels in DoT, DIT,TRAI and other Stakeholders during previous years based on which Telecom Commission in 2009 entrusted TEC for IPv6 related activities in addition to others 17 IPv6 Activities of TEC 18 • Workshops conducted by TEC Sr No. Date Venue 1 21st July 2009 New Delhi Migration from IPv4 to IPv6 in India 2 15th Sept 2009 Bangalore IPv6 Transition and Greenfield Applications in India 3 22nd October 2009 Chennai 4 27th Nov 2009 Mumbai IPv6: New opportunities for the Country 5 22nd Jan 2010 IPv6 Migration Timeframe by Consensus or Mandate Kolkata Theme IPv6 as a New Platform for Innovation These workshops were well attended by more than 1000 participants involving all telecom service providers, manufacturers, industry associations, industries, govt. departments, educational institutions (IITs, IISc etc.) • • • • Training Programme with APNIC, Australia (25-26th Nov 2009, Mumbai) MoU with the IPV6 Forum for IPv6 Activities in India International Summit with IPv6 Forum (15-16th Dec 2009, New Delhi) Appointment of Nodal Officers in Central & State Govt. Departments for IPv6 Deployment 4/9/2015 19 Some Important Extracts from Workshops • Suitable policy framework by Govt. for smooth Transition. • Specific deadlines for Transition • Creation of IPv6 Task Force and working Groups • More Training and awareness activities • Guidance to SME service providers and organizations on implementing IPv6 • Govt. departments should take IP-based services from only IPv6 ready ISPs after a certain period of time • Promoting Pilot projects in “Greenfield Applications” 20 Based on various IPv6 activities and discussions with stakeholders a need for a suitable policy was felt for timely implementation of IPv6 in the country. Accordingly TEC has prepared the “National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap”, which has been approved by the Government and has been released by Hon’ble MOC&IT in July 2010.
