TEC is developing the Standards Document for IPv6 Testing, which will be released in this financial year. Standards Document based on International Practices & the framework released by IPv6 Forum under the IPv6 Ready Logo Programme Need for IPv6 Test bed for testing these standards Organizations can set up the Test Beds and apply for accreditation to TEC/IPv6 Ready Logo 10

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 was 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 All central and State government ministries and departments, including its PSUs, shall start using IPv6 services by March Formation of the IPv6 Task Force with the proposed structure. 11

Follow Up Actions to Implement Policy  Letters to all Secretaries of Centre, Secretary(IT) & Chief Secretaries of States – for implementation of government Policy and – appointment of nodal officer if not already done  Responses received from State Governments/UTs (19/35)  Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Lakshdweep, Punjab, Chandigarh Administration, Orissa, Bihar, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, MP, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujrat, UP, Kerala, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Assam 12

Follow Up Actions to Implement Policy  Responses Received from Central Government Departments  Total Departments = 94  Responses received = 55  Nominations received for Nodal officers from different wings of the Departments = 96 13
