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”.

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.

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.

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 !

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

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

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.

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

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.
Actionable Points of “National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap”
1. All major Service providers (having at least 10,000 internet customers
or STM-1 bandwidth) will target to handle IPv6 traffic and offer IPv6
services by December-2011.
2. All central and State government ministries and departments,
including its PSUs, shall start using IPv6 services by March2012.
3. Formation of the IPv6 Task Force with the proposed structure.
21
IPv6 Task Force
The Task Force will broadly have the following units –
1. Working Groups ( 9 )
2. Steering Committee (1)
