IPv6 in Europe-6NET and Euro6IX.ppt

1、IPv6 in Europe: 6NET and Euro6IX,Tim Chown, University of Southampton (UK) tjcecs.soton.ac.ukInternet 2 Spring Member Meeting Arlington, 7th May 2002,IPv6 overview,Successor to IPv4, with 128-bit addressing e.g. 2001:0630:1fff:0080:dead:beef:baad:cafe Improves scalability, client reachability Hierar

2、chical addressing from outset e.g. single route advertised for JANET Auto configuration (“plug and ping”) Well-suited to ad-hoc networking IPsec implementation “mandated” Better support for Mobile IP than in IPv4,Why university/HE interest?,Deploy to support research activities Mainly in CS departme

3、nts, not campuses Gain understanding of deployment issues Next generation application support No NATs, restoration of end to end principle IPv6 may be important for GRID activities Potential for ADSL+802.11b+IPv6 to the home Outreach, home working/learning 3G set to use IPv6 (in 3GPP Release 5) IPv6

4、 needed for open access to handsets,Peer to Peer (p2p),Current Internet has client-server focus Web, e-mail, etc. Clients in homes/SMEs, servers on globally addressable Internet NAT generally works in this environment Future trend client-client, or p2p VoIP, messaging, file sharing, gaming, GRID, Im

5、plies all devices globally addressable Deployment of servers in the home E.g. multiple web cams, home appliances/data NAT adds significant complexity in this case,Implementations,Windows XP/.NET *BSD Linux Solaris 8+ Symbian OS (PDA) Compaq Tru64 AIX 4.3+ HP/UX 11.0+ Irix,Cisco IOS Juniper Hitachi *

6、BSD Zebra, ZebOS Ericsson Telebit 6WIND (inc. ADSL) 3Com +others,IPv6 integration and transition,How can IPv4 and IPv6 co-exist? Includes IPv4 and IPv6 systems communicating Different transition aspects and tools Site transition ISP (MAN or NREN) transition Need to understand relationships between t

7、ools Wide range of proposed tools in IETF IETF now identifying deployment scenarios How to deploy IPv6 in an IPv4 network Includes DNS, firewalls, email, .,End user+site IPv6 connectivity,The basics for an end user/site Certainly a host that supports IPv6 And ideally a router supporting IPv6 Can run

8、 IPv6-only, but most likely dual stack An IPv6 connection to wider IPv6 Internet Need an upstream provider Link probably tunnelled in IPv4, possibly native IPv6 address space Inherited from/allocated by upstream provider All the above now becoming easy to obtain,Tunnel brokers for single hosts,Can c

9、onnect with one single host using an IPv6 tunnel broker Needs to be dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 F is worlds most popular But located in Canada! BTexact Technologies have a UK broker https:/ Bypasses site admin, except for IP tunnel Register at web page, receive script Script creates the tunnel from you

10、r host to the tunnel server,You want to run IPv6 only?,Certainly possible Many routers can run IPv6-only But may need IPv4 if you want, e.g., SNMP. Many hosts can run IPv6-only But issues like DNS lookups over IPv6 Need mechanisms to access IPv4-only sites e.g. NAT-PT or DSTM Want IPv4 sites to be a

11、ble to reach you?,Combining dual-stack/IPv6 only,Place public services on dual-stack servers e.g. web, DNS, FTP, e-mail Use IPv6-only for new applications Aimed at allowing peer-to-peer between IPv6 clients: IPv6 enables the client-server paradigm to be replaced by peer-to-peer. Take care with firew

12、alling Dont let IPv6 testbed be a back door! Put dual stack servers in your IPv4 DMZ,IPv6 addressing and DNS,Receive a network prefix from provider A /48 for a “site” Allows 16 bits of network space with 64 bits of host space, so better than IPv4 Class A prefix. Set up DNS for IPv6 addresses Uses “q

13、uad A” records, e.g. foo IN AAAA 2001:0630:00d0:20: Can have A and AAAA for same host Proposed A6 format no longer mainstream But beware what the applications do here! Get reverse DNS under ip6.int, soon ip6.arpa.,Current IPv6 deployment,Generally tunnelled IPv6 in IPv4 Not structured In many eyes,

14、collaboration = tunnel + peering Tunnel brokers often very (network) remote Lack of regional harmonisation Little experience of large-scale native IPv6 network deployment and operation Hence 6NET and Euro6IX IPv6 backed by European Commission But important deployment is market led,European academic
