2. N.Gelvanovska About the Survey At the moment there is no benchmarking methodology for IPv6 deployment at the international level: –Outlines for Measuring IPv6 deployment (set of parameters) were drafted by OECD in May, 2009 Objective of TRIS survey: to create a brief overview of IPv6 related activities in TRIS countries: –Do not pretend being a comprehensive study. There might be more IPv6 facilities existing, that author may not be aware off; –Exclude IPv6 activities in academic networks; –19 countries were investigated in terms of IPv6 related activities. Following areas were investigated: –public incentives and market activities related to IPv6 deployment; –regulators role and incentives encouraging IPv6 deployment. Following information was summarized: –Contributions of TRIS members; –Contributions to ITU TSB Circular 30 concerning a questionnaire on IPv6 following WTSA-08 Resolution 64 (Questionnaire IPv6 address allocation and encouraging the deployment of IPv6); –information form National IPv6 Task Force pages. 2014.02.222 SlideTRIS Survey on IPv6

6. N.Gelvanovska Less active countries Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria, Norway do not have National Task Forces established; Situation in Lithuania, Latvia, Romania and Denmark might be described as following: –nobody is promoting/encouraging IPv6 deployment or at least there is nothing organized. However in Denmark: public procurement strategy as a rule calls for IPv6 enabled solutions; National Strategy and Action plan are being drafted. Denmark (in 2003) and Greece (in 2009) have established Task Forces; Bulgaria: in 2008 the second (after the first operated by RENATER in France) Europes lab for IPv6 training and research was established: -Managed by Bulgarian State Agency for ICT-DAITS; - Active co-operation with EU projects, i.e. 6DEPLOY; -Over 100 experts were trained already. 2014.02.226 SlideTRIS Survey on IPv6 http://www.ipv6-taskforce.dk

9. N.Gelvanovska Germany The biggest Internet nation in Europe. The Internet population amounts to approx. 53 million users. This corresponds to an average spreading of 65%. National IPv6 Taskforce created in 2003 (chaired by T- Systems) yielded ground to the German IPv6 Council; The German IPv6 Council is a chapter of the IPv6 Forum (world-wide consortium of worldwide leading Internet vendors) and it was founded in 2007 in the Hasso Plattner institute (HPI) in Potsdam : –Chaired by HPI; 18 members from industry, politics and research; –German IPv6 Summit 2004 (http://linda.ipv6.berkom.de/summit/index.html); –IPv6 in Berlin, 2008 (http://www.ipv6council.de/events/german_ipv6_summit/programme.html) –2009: International IPv6 Application contest, International IPv6 Summit –May, 2009: National IPv6 Action Plan: http://www.ipv6council.de/fileadmin/summit09/Aktionsplan.pdf; More focus on non technical IPv6 deployment environment. 2014.02.229 SlideTRIS Survey on IPv6 http://www.ipv6council.de

10. N.Gelvanovska Finland National IPv6 task force was created in 2002: –Chaired by FICORA; over 30 participants meet quarterly; –Two IPv6 seminars and two IPv6 questionnaires were held: IST Event. Session "The New Internet: IPv6 Drivers and Challenges in 2006: http://europa.eu.int/information_society/istevent/2006/cf/network-detail.cfm?id=512 –Documents handled in the group may be found there: http://www.ficora.fi/index/palvelut/palvelutaiheittain/standardointi/standardointiryhmat/ipv6.html –The idea: active promotion of IPv6 deployment, without regulatory requirements and financial support of transition. FICORA is responsible for.fi ccTLD administration. Implementation of IPv6 support for.fi was divided in three steps: –To provide IPv6 connectivity for the.fi root name servers: In 2006 was implemented the first name server D.fi with IPv6 address. At the moment there are 3 name servers supporting IPv6, including one based on anycast technology with more than 20 name servers worldwide; –To allow.fi domain names to use name servers with IPv6 addresses: implemented in May, 2009 through an on-line management service; –To have registration/on-line management system available via IPv6: planned for 1Q, 2011. 2014.02.2210 SlideTRIS Survey on IPv6 http://www.fi.ipv6tf.org/

11. N.Gelvanovska France First-ever IPv6 test network set-up in 1995; In 2001 was formally established G6 association which provides technical expertise and training on IPv6: http://www.g6.asso.fr/index.php/Main_Page; G6 took over and integrated IPv6 Task Force France (TFF) established in 2002: –Work is organized in 7 domains: the facilities of networks and services (operators, Internet providers, service suppliers); networks of firms; IPv6's applications in the home; IPv6's applications for mobiles (mobile electronics, car, public transport); applications linked to utility (education, health, protection); security; impact on society. –In 2003 Recommendations for a Strategic Plan in the Development and Implementation of IPv6 Technologies in France were issued; –IPv6 Conference in France, 2002 (http://www.renater.fr/IPv6-2002/); –6th ETSI IPv6 Plugtests, 2005 (http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/IPv6.htm); –French IPv6 Summit, 2006 (http://www.v6summit.com/); –IPv6 applications contest in July, 2009 From 2009 requirement for IPv6 compatibility was included in all public calls for tender;.fr ccTLD is offering IPv6 since 2003. 2014.02.2211 Slide TRIS Survey on IPv6 http://www.g6.asso.fr/tff/index.php/Main_Page http://www.fr.ipv6tf.org/

16. N.Gelvanovska Sweden Swedish IPv6 task force was created in 2003: –Not much news after that; Swedish IPv6 Conference 2005 (joint with RIPE) Swedish Post and Telecom Agency (PTS) works in different ways to foster IPv6 deployment: –More in the context of increase of the robustness and security of networks. Swedish government made a statement: public content and services should be available to anyone, anywhere and anytime.

17. N.Gelvanovska UK Task force was established in 2003 and was active for number of years. However LINX (London Internet exchange) is the place forum for the discussions at the moment: –IPv6 Technical workshop 2009, https://www.linx.net/events/2009-ipv6/ipv6- 2009.html; Facts: –Only 30 of 25 million UK based name servers have IPv6 addresses; –None of the major telcos that provide access to the Internet none is yet offering an IPv6 based access service; –There is very little traffic (<1%) using IPv6 at present; There is no involvement from regulatory side in IPv6 issues; Some events held in UK: –IPSec2008 (http://www.iipseconline.com/home.html); UK IPv6 Business Event, 2005; UK IPv6 Deployment Conference 2004 (http://www.uk.ipv6tf.org/events/manchester.html) 2014.02.2217 Slide TRIS Survey on IPv6 http://www.uk.ipv6tf.org/

19. N.Gelvanovska Where does misunderstanding lie? Obvious regulatory involvement exists in countries where Regulator is responsible for DNS operation; "It is not the government's role to force technological development, but to enable it, - Austrian Sec. for Arts & Media Franz Morak Essential question -> Is IPv6 really a technological choice? The day when the first citizen, will come for e- government services only having IPv6 address, he (she) must still be able to use those services, - Patrik Fältström, Senior Consulting Engineer in Cisco, advisor to the Swedish government on IT policy since 2003 IPv6 is not a choice… at least for governments.
