The world is moving to IPv6..fast
Drastic measures by USG
Upgrade public/external facing servers and services (e.g. web, email,
DNS, ISP services, etc) to operationally use native IPv6 by the
end of FY 2012;
Upgrade internal client applications that communicate with public
Internet servers and supporting enterprise networks to operationally
use native IPv6 by the end of FY 2014;
Designate an IPv6 Transition Manager and submit their name, title,
and contact information to IPv6@omb.eop.gov by October 30, 2010.
The IPv6 Transition Manager is to serve as the person responsible
for leading the agency’s IPv6 transition activities, and liaison with
the wider Federal IPv6 effort as necessary; and,
Ensure agency procurements of networked IT comply with FAR
requirements for use of the USGv6 Profile and Test Program for the
completeness and quality of their IPv6 capabilities.

Release Date: February 2010
The purpose of Guidelines for the Secure
Deployment of IPv6 is to provide information
security guidance to organizations that are
planning to deploy IPv6 technologies or are
simply seeking a better understanding of IPv6.
The scope of this document encompasses the
IPv6 protocol and related protocol specifications.
IPv6-related security considerations are discussed
with emphasis on deployment-related security
concerns. The document also includes general
guidance on secure IPv6 deployment and
integration planning.
Malaysia’s Deployment Timeline
• Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications (MEWC @
KTAK)1 had initiated the establishment of National IPv6 Council
in 2004
• NAv6 Centre was also established in 2005 as experts to advice
and guide the government.
• The National IPv6 Council of Malaysia has stated2:
ISPs by 2006
Public Sector by 2013

2
Malaysia by 2015
– Now know as Ministry Of Information, Communication And Culture (MICC) @ (KPKK)
– The timeline has been revised by the Government in 2010

• Overall Summary
NAv6’s roles as stated in the Roadmap
• To act as technical advisor to all stakeholders.
• To coordinate all IPv6 R&D nation-wide so that pertinent issues
are addressed and that there is no R&D overlap resulting in
inefficient use of funding.
• To provide IPv6 training and ‘train the trainers’ so that
knowledge and expertise can proliferate.
• To organize conferences, research meetings and workshops for
Malaysian researchers, facilitating the sharing and dissemination
of knowledge.
• To prepare detailed plans, strategies and guidelines as a result of
this Roadmap to enable implementation at all levels.
NAv6’s roles as stated in the Roadmap
(cont.)
• To work with MOSTI with respect to R&D funding and
work with MOHE with respect to human resource
requirements.
• To assist MAMPU by providing technical guidelines
appropriate for government agencies for the transition
to IPv6.
• To assist MEWC in IPv6 rollout for the nation.
• To assist government agencies and private
organizations in migrating to IPv6.
Malaysia’s IPv6 initiative:
IPv6 Pilot Projects

•
The Pilot Project was introduced in accordance with the National IPv6 Council’s
vision of an IPv6-enabled Malaysia by 2010 (now revised to 2012)
One of the major milestones of the timeline is to have the Public Sector IPv6-Ready
by 2008 (now revised to 2011)
NAv6 was contracted as a consultant to carry out these projects.
Two agencies was selected for the pilot project:
The Pilot Project will be pioneering the deployment of IPv6 in Malaysia
This IPv6 Pilot project will be used as reference and guidelines for parties
interested in implementing IPv6 in their network, mainly focusing on the
Malaysian government agencies
Malaysia’s IPv6 initiative:
IPv6 Pilot Projects
IPv6 Pilot Project Objectives
Establish basic IPv6 capability in within the
agency’s network.
Basic IPv6 capability is defined here as being able to
transport and route in dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) and
that all devices that are configured in dual-stack must
be able to interoperate with each other.
Malaysia’s IPv6 initiative:
IPv6 Pilot Projects
• The IPv6 deployment was
done in a gradual manner
adopting several well
recognized transition
mechanisms
Translation
• The step by step approach
was taken to ensure that
the migration would be free
of any technical glitches or
security issues.
• The project comprise of 4
phases
Isolated deployment
Expanding the infrastructure
Tunneling
Dual-Stack
Production Implementation

.MY Domain Registry is IPv6
enabled
1st Audit April 2008
The Malaysian .my Domain Registry has taken the
initiative to undergo the Phase-1 IPv6 Compliance
audit offered by NAv6 for their Secondary DNS
Server on the 23rd April 2010.
This is the 3rd audit conducted for .my Domain
Registry.
The 1st audit in April 2008 was to verify their
network connectivity while the 2nd audit also in
2008 was done on their Primary DNS Server.
NAv6 would like to extend our heartiest
congratulations to .my Domain Registry for their
initiatives and accomplishments as one of the global
