3. Preparing for Future Communications 8/21/2015 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. Internet Protocol & IP Address 8/21/20154 ROLE OF IP ADDRESS ? WHO ?Identification of Parties to the Communication Transaction WHERE ?Determine the network location of the Identified Party HOW ?Used to support Routing Decisions 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.

5. 8/21/2015 IPV4 Address (Present) IPV6 Address (Future) 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. Total Addresses = 2^128 = 340 billion, billion, billion, billion

6. Where do IP addresses come from? Standards Allocation Assignment En d use r Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) distribute IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the Internet community RIRs maintain accurate registration of Internet resource usage for the community

7. Why our country needs adequate IP Addresses ?

8. Estimated Addresses (millions) 20 million Broadband connections by 201020 2,50,000 village panchayats on high speed Broadband connectivity by 2012. 2.5 Currently more than 150 million mobile data customers and with 3G & BWA services it is expected that at least 25% will migrate and need permanent IP addresses within a year 37.5 National Knowledge Network (NKN) – 1500 colleges and universities, IP address to each student 5 E-governance Infrastucture – centre and States Financial Markets Infrastucture UIDAI Project Organizational Networks, Public Servers, Websites 65 million* * Immediate Requirement within a year, which is expected to increase rapidly

9. 9 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. Adequate IP Addresses for the following 9 ALL Communication Networks and Devices will need IP Addresses

11. IPv4 Consumption: Projection 11 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

12. 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 ! 12 Solution ?

13. 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

14. 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

15. IPv6 Activities of TEC

16. 8/21/2015 Training Programme with APNIC, Australia (25-26 th Nov 2009, Mumbai) MoU with the IPV6 Forum for IPv6 Activities in India International Summit with IPv6 Forum (15-16 th Dec 2009, New Delhi) Appointment of Nodal Officers in Central & State Govt. Departments for IPv6 Deployment Sr No.DateVenueTheme 121 st July 2009New DelhiMigration from IPv4 to IPv6 in India 215 th Sept 2009 BangaloreIPv6 Transition and Greenfield Applications in India 322 nd October 2009 ChennaiIPv6 as a New Platform for Innovation 427 th Nov 2009MumbaiIPv6: New opportunities for the Country 522 nd Jan 2010KolkataIPv6 Migration Timeframe by Consensus or Mandate 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.) Workshops conducted by TEC

17. 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” 17

18. Few Suggested Applications for Pilot projects using IPv6  Logistics and Supply Chain  Intelligent Transport System  Rural Emergency Healthcare System  Tele-medicine  Tele-education  Smartgrids  Smart Buildings (Many more such applications are available) Different Ministries, Government Departments and Organizations in Private Sector can come forward to Work on these and similar Pilot Projects. 18

19. 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 March- 2012. 3.Formation of the IPv6 Task Force with the proposed structure.

20. IPv6 Task Force The Task Force will broadly have the following units – 1.Working Groups ( 9 ) 2.Steering Committee (1) 3.Oversight Committee (1)
