  20. Impairments to air-bandwidth Removed Added Global Reachability Increased Routing Efficiency • PacketOvehead • IPv6 Packet headers are much larger than that of IPv4 IPv6 Features UMTS Architecture UMTS End-to-End Services Impacts of IPv6 Summary

  21. What we will achieve with Expanded and Efficient Addressing Capabilities? • Use of Anycast address include services where redundancy is desirable, for e.g. - routers, name servers, software mirroring. • Simplified routing tables with prefix aggregation and improved table lookup. • Addressing • In IPv6, there are more routable addresses than IPv4 Unicast: An address for a single interface. Multicast: An address for a set of interfaces (in a given scope) that typically belong to different nodes. IPv6 multicast addresses are used instead of broadcast addresses in IPv4. Anycast: An address for a nearest interface from the set of interfaces that typically belong to different nodes. IPv6 Features UMTS Architecture UMTS End-to-End Services Impacts of IPv6 Summary

  22. IPv6 Addresses: • In IPv6, there are more routable addresses than IPv4 Impact of UE Addresses on Air-Interface Following are the addresses that Mobile Terminal MUST have in order to communicate invarious scenarios. • Unspecified Address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0) used during autoconfiguration • Impact on Air-interface : yes • Loopback Address(0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1) • Impact on Air-interface : no(Its internal to the node, so it will not affect air-interface) • Link-Local address for each interface • Impact on Air-interface : yes (as it is link-specific) but it will not be routed through GGSN. • Assigned Unicast Addresses • (Multiple IP addresses/bearer or One IP address for multiple bearers separated by flow templates) • Impact on Air-interface : yes • All-Nodes Multicast Addresses • Impact on Air-interface : yes • Solicited-Node Multicast Address for each of its assigned unicast and anycast addresses • Impact on Air-interface : yes • Multicast Addresses of all other groups to which the host belongs • Impact on Air-interface : yes • IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses (Used to communicate with IPv4-only nodes, NGTrans) • Impact on Air-interface : yes IPv6 Features UMTS Architecture UMTS End-to-End Services Impacts of IPv6 Summary

  23. Neighbor Discovery and Autoconfiguration • Air-link bandwidth gets hampered because of frequent Neighbor Discovery/Autoconfiguration messages. IPv6 Features UMTS Architecture UMTS End-to-End Services Impacts of IPv6 Summary • Neighbor Discovery: Basic Use • to determine the link-layer addresses for neighbors • to find access routers • to keep track of reachable neighbors • Address Autoconfiguration: Basic Use • to configure the Care of Address

  24. Home Address MN Home Address Care of Address MN • Mobile IPv6 • Getting new Care off Address and sending Binding Updates will hamper air-link efficiency. IPv6 Features UMTS Architecture UMTS End-to-End Services Impacts of IPv6 Summary General Idea: • MN gets new Care of Address (COA) in a foreign network • MN registers the new COA with its Home Agent (HA) • CN sends to HA and HA tunnels towards MN • MN sends Binding Update (BU) to CN and CN sends directly Home Network Internet HA Foreign Network CN

  25. Path MTU Discovery Path MTU Discovery Packet Too Big Msg. Packet Too Big Msg. MTU= 1280 Bytes • Path MTU Discovery • Path MTU Discovery will contribute to the air-link bandwidth. • Path MTU Process: • Send a message to the destination with MTU of link. • If receive a ICMP “Packet Too Big” error message, then resend themessage with the new MTU. • Do 1 and 2 until response from destination. • Last MTU is the Path MTU IPv6 Features UMTS Architecture UMTS End-to-End Services Impacts of IPv6 Summary IPv6 domain IPv6 domain IPv6 domain MTU=1500 Bytes MTU=1500 Bytes MTU=1280 Bytes

  39. Open Issues for IPv6 in general • IPv6 Transition Solutions for 3GPP Networks • draft-wiljakka-3gpp-ipv6-transition-00.txt • Latest update from 54th IETF, Yokohama • Nokia is favouring NAT64/46 as it has less security problems • IMS is the most challenging as I-CSCF and S-CSCF will need transition solutions to connect to external IPv4-only networks. • Dual Stack is recommended for the UEs. • IPv6/v4 interworking should be done in the network andnot in the UE. • Don‘t recommend tunneling over air like (DSTM or 6over4)but if needed ROHC will help IPv6 Features UMTS Architecture UMTS End-to-End Services Impacts of IPv6 Summary

  40. Open Issues for IPv6 in general • ISP‘s view: Latest update from 54th IETF, Yokohama • MIPv6 not yet standardized. • Transition mechanisms have to be simple ones • 6over4 tunneling, NAT-PT/TRT is the best and perhaps enough. • Multicast DNS (LLMNR) necessary for IPv6 deployment • Key Applications for ISPs are not yet IPv6 ready.... • BIND (DNS) • – v8 : No IPv6 support • v9 : not ready for heavy duty production use. • Qmail (Mail Transfer Agent) – with unofficial patches for IPv6. • Squid (Web Proxy Server) – IPv6 is only experimental basis.
