IPv6 session, APAN 27 th meeting Joonhyung Lim National Internet Development Agency of Korea ``

Overview Brief history of IPv6 in Korea I I What we did in 2008 II What we are going to do in 2009 III

Introduction of speaker 9 years in NIDA, including 4 years as a security specialist for DNS and other internet system 2 years as a researcher for ‘Telephone Number Mapping (ENUM)’ I wrote related ‘internet-draft’, and became a author of ‘RFC5346 Operational Requirements for ENUM-Based Softswitch Use’in years as a researcher for IPv6 deployment project My organization (NIDA) has been managing.kr domain name and IP address, and doing several government R&D project under Korea Communications Commission (KCC).

2003~ 2004~2007 ‘IPv6 Promotion plan I’ was announced ‘IPv6 strategy council (chairman: Minister of MIC)’ was established KOREAv6 Trial Service (25 projects ) IPv6 requirement was contained as one of provisions in EA law A brief history of IPv6 in Korea 2008 KCC support 16 local governments and research institutions to build IPv6/IPv4 backbone network. Phase1 R&D Phase2 Imple mentat ion 2009~ ISP’s backbone network will have been changing IPv4/IPv6 ready network by By reformation of government, Korea Communications Commission (KCC) was key player for IPv6 promotion

Related policy In 2006, according to ‘The Law about acquisition and operation of Information system’, official notification was announced that every public agency must require IPv6 capable device when it purchase a communication H/W. ‘2008 Guideline for execution of the budget’ from Ministry of strategy and finance, also includes a following direction. Hardware that used for developing a information system must support IPv4/IPv6 capability.

For local governments NIDA provided routers and firewalls to 8 local governments. Each local government builds its IPv6/IPv4 network, and provides IPv6 web service as a public service. Training course was organized, and about 500 people from 160 public organizations are trained. For Research institutes (Daedeok INNOPOLIS IPv6 Cluster development) NIDA provided routers and firewalls to 8 research institutes. Technical consulting service was provided to each research institute. What we did in 2008 – ‘IPv6 deployment in public sector’

No service use No service demand No connectivity ISP Private/publicorganizationUser No Investment No investment Negative circle ISP Private/publicorganization User Positive circle Demand for Service Provides Connectivity investment Use service Breaking deadlock by considering demand and supply matter IPv6 transition on public sector What we did in 2008 – ‘Ripple effect & New strategy’ One of Korean major ISP enabled IPv6 on its backbone network for public sector. Local government asked IPv6 connectivity to ISP officially  ISP made a quick decision to enable IPv6 because there is customer’s demand Even though IPv6 wasn’t enabled all of area nodes, this work was very meaningful because it shows ISP might move if there is a customer’s demand.

Transition plan KCC announced “3-year Plan for promotion and management of internet address resources” in Dec According to the plan, Korea government will have implemented IPv6 on ISP’s backbone network by 2011, as well as public sector by 2013 Major action plan for the next 3 years ‘IPv6 transition committee’ will be organized with government and major ISPs in this year for cooperating with ISPs and commercial sector. Government will investigate to add a IPv6 mandatory provision on their guideline about budget composition. If so, every government, local government and related organization will be influenced when they composite ICT budget. To facilitate IPv6 transition, trial that secures IPv6 routing path on real ISP’s network, will be organized with government and ISPs. Training and public relation activities are also going on constantly.

IPv6 transition committee Chairman : Standing commissioner of KCC Private area Cooperation for increasing readiness of IPv6 at backbone network Participants CEO of Major ISPs, IX, vendor, etc Public area Establish a IPv6 transition plan for public sector Participants (draft) Ministry of public administration and security Ministry of strategy and finance National Intelligence Service

Objectives Expanding IPv6 routing path by applying IPv6 to ISP and IX Establishing a IPv6 network infrastructure that can provide IPv6 service to customer Verifying technology and identifying a problem for scalable deployment ‘IPv6 special zone’ that is able to make end-to-end IPv6 connection, will be established for verification of full routing path through dual stack network. For verifying end-to-end connection, multiple IPv6 special zone will be activated by multiple ISPs. ISP must enable IPv6 network on its backbone and access network for providing IPv6 connectivity at IPv6 special zone. Each ISP must have IPv6 peer connection with IX or other ISP. What we are going to do in 2009 – ISP trial

Background – “Why does backbone network needs to be change first?” For several years, ISP’s backbone network has been slowly changing to IPv4/IPv6 dual stack. If there are no IPv6 backbone network, IPv6 supported content provider’s network is useless. To make sure path between client and IPv6 contents, now ISP’s backbone network must be changed to IPv4/Ipv6 dual stack

Timeline for IPv6 trial in 2009 Apr. : ISPs will be selected by evaluating their proposal. Oct. : IPv6 special zone will have been built in each ISPs coverage. Nov. : Peering with 6NGIX *It’s subject to change as the project moves forward.

Thank you!
