  1. IPv6 and Europe Pascal Drabik DG Information Society F2 European Commission "The views expressed in this presentation are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission"

  2. Contents • IPv4 towards IPv6 • IPv6: an opportunity for Europe • IPv6 in the World • IPv6 in Europe • Research Networking • Conclusions

  3. IPv4 towards IPv6 By providing cheap end-to-end connectivity, the Internet protocol lowered the barriers to global network applications and services... IPv4: • Ensures internetworking (designed for it!) • Can be used for various types of traffic (data, voice, image, multimedia) • Combines network-level performance and cost-effectiveness • Represents today the installed base for Internet

  4. IPv4 towards IPv6IPv4 challenges • Address space - Growth of Internet: Use of NAT - RIPE: 17%; APNIC: 9%; ARIN: 74% • Security - End-to-end encryption - Authentication • QoS - “Best effort IP” • ... In anticipation of the increasing address space limitation of IPv4, IETF went into defining a IPng...

  5. IPv4 towards IPv6Requirements • Support for “unlimited” number of hosts • Reduce size of routing tables • Simplify protocol, process packets faster • Provide better security (authentication & privacy) • Better QoS (particularly for real-time data) • Aid multicasting, anycasting • Make it possible for a host to roam without changing its address

  6. IPv4 towards IPv6IPv6 characteristics • Practically unlimited address space • Simplification of packet header • Optional header fields (better support for options) • Built-in support for IP security • Improved support for QoS, multicast and mobile IP • Plug & Play auto-configuration

  7. An opportunity for Europe (1) Moving towards IPv6 is both a near-term and a long -term concern of network dependent businesses • equipment manufacturers • network owners • service providers and public authorities, such as the EC. For Europe, it is at the same time a challenge and an opportunity

  9. An opportunity for EuropeSome aspects of Commission policy (1) • Communication from the Commission to the Council and European Parliament COM (2000)202 11 April 2000 “The Organisation and Management of the Internet International and European Policy Issues” URL: www.ispo.cec.be/eif/InternetPoliciesSite/Organisation/COM(2000)202.doc

  10. An opportunity for EuropeSome aspects of Commission policy (2) • Internet addressing - The Commission intends to take several steps to facilitate where appropriate the transition of the information economy to the IP addressing system, including the timely introduction of next generation Internet addressing (IPv6) • Internet protocols - The Commission also intends to take full account of the development of Internet protocols in its approach to information technology standardisation, including in the EU research projects

  11. An opportunity for EuropeSome aspects of Commission policy (3) • encourage new constituencies (including the public sector) • encourage the timely transition to IPv6 (particularly within the European Institutions and public administrations)

  12. An opportunity for EuropeSome aspects of Commission policy (4) • facilitate the global expansion of Internet (developing countries) through the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 addressing systems • in the context of appropriate EU research, promote the development and use of IPv6 and next generation Internet technologies more generally

  13. An opportunity for EuropeeEurope (1) “The eEurope initiative must be seen in its context of profound economic and social mutation - major challenges for European policy and decision makers to modernise the economy – great new opportunities for growth, competition, employment and social cohesion waiting to be seized... ” • 3 key objectives • 10 priority areas for action URL: europa.eu.int/comm/information_society/eeurope/index_en.htm

  14. An opportunity for EuropeeEurope (2) 3 key objectives • … • Bringing every citizen, home, school, business and administration on-line • … 10 priority areas for action • … • Cheaper Internet access • Accelerating e-commerce • Fast Internet for researchers and students • Health online • Intelligent transport • Government online • ...

  15. An opportunity for EuropeeEurope (3) … In relation to the next generation Internet, the Commission will launch an initiative aimed at mobilising telecommunications operators and equipment manufacturers to work together with service providers and users to ensure the rapid deployment and use of IPv6.
