1. IPv6 Implementation with Open Source Eddie Aronovich Tel-Aviv University, Israel IPv6 Forum-Israel

2. Open Source Characteristics Published frequent and early Code review by many experts Community oriented Available for everybody Self tailored It is (usually) free !

3. Benefits from moving to “ Open ” Community building Bring young and enthusiastic people to contribute Creating a lot of islands and small labs Analyze trends/needs/operational models

4. Community Example …

5. Readiness is when … OS Built-in support Network components support Usability for mixed configuration (IPv6+IPv4) “All” software package support People feel it is handy

6. IPv6 in OS (thanks to USAGI) Linux kernel 2.1.8 (Nov 96) by Pedro Roque, 2.2.19 (Jan 2001) BSD – FreeBSD 4.0, NetBSD 1.5, OpenBSD 2.7 (~97) FreeBSDNetBSDOpenBSD SCO - Gemini (second half of 1997) ----------------------------------------------- MS Windows 2000 with SP1

7. How big is the IPv6 address range ? Weight of earth (in grams) Weight of earth 5x10^27 ~ 5x2^90 < 2^93 IPv6 address range 2^128 Current internet address range 2^32 We have more than 8 times the current internet for each gram on earth!

8. Hardware manufactures 3Com Corporation - NETBuilderII and PathBuilder S500 version 11.0 (end 97) Extreme Network (2000) Cisco IOS 12.2(2)T (May 2001) Juniper (Aug 2001) And others follow...

9. IPv6 Readiness using FS/OS The challenge is the need Available for researches Security is not an issue, production is! Technology dissemination as “Killer Application”

10. Network software DHCP – ISC (Solaris, BSD, Linux), dhcp6s DNS – Bind (alliance with ISC since 2003 ) Remote terminal – ssh File sharing – NFS2/3 Printer sharing - cups

11. Web production Web server – Apache Data-bases - mySQL, postgreSQL (patched) CVS Network management

12. Security Encryption Firewalls (iptable) nmap Logging No IDS yet 

13. Challanges Choose a few out of many Recruiting Training Create community
