3. European Commission IPv6 initiatives • EC's "eEurope2005" initiative: European Commission invested over 180 M€ during the last six years in numerous IPv6 projects launched in the framework of "eEurope2005". Creation of the European IPv6 Task Force in 2001 • EC's "i-2010" initiativeis more focusing on concrete outcomes regarding IPv6 deployment of applications and services. It is seen as the ROI of the "eEurope2005" • EU 6DISS & 6DEPLOY projects are dedicated to hands-on training on IPv6 for the "Emerging Countries, to promote widespread adoption of IPv6 by providing IPv6 training and knowledge transfer in developing regions (Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa) IST IPv6 projects IPv6 Market IPv6 Applications Background Foreground Foreground eEurope2005 European Competitiveness New markets i-2010 Universities Goverments IPv6 input Background Industry IPv6 input Background EC's plan for IPv6 deployment 2008 – 2010 (Objective:25%) May 30th2008 EC's IPv6 announcement Foreground Foreground Background IPv6 Usages IPv6 Services IST IPv6 Infrastructure

4. Action plan for the deployment of IPv6 in Europe(European IP6 Day May 30th 2008, Brussels) • European Union will require IPv6 support in its procurement of its ICT • Encourages member states to do the same • EC called for 25% European industry, public authorities and households to use IPv6 by 2010

5. European IPv6 Task Force-Steering Committee IPv6 RoadMap for Europe 2004 2007 National IPv6 Task Forces • Mission • - Consolidate the IPv6 RoadMap for Europe • Push IPv6 development in Europe • Guide the efforts of National IPv6 Task Forces • Focus on deployment • Benchmark the IPv6 deployment in Europe • Establish a clear IPv6 business case • Promote the adoption of IPv6 by governments National Task Forces

6. IPv6 & Applications study: Methodology • Assess/address challenges contributing to slow uptake in Europe by: • Identifying key industry sectors that can benefit from IPv6 • Gathering emerging industry experience and evaluate from a market and business perspective • It's an Application-driven approach • We considered Direct Challenges ie linked to IPv6 and we rated according to 4 critical scales: Blocking/High/Medium/Low • Create of "Master Resource" for decision makers, from a business and technical perspective, highlighting the main trends and the role of Applications as an enabler in the acceleration of IPv6 deployment • Highlight main issues and make recommendations to overcome these challenges • Standardization Operational • Policies & regulations Business model • Equipment development Services • Market

7. Application Driven Deployment • Triple Play • Home networking • Peer-to-Peer Applications • Mobile networking • Social applications (chat, VoIP, messaging, p2p) • Digital IP-TV • SIP-based VoIP • Online gaming • E-Health (Home Hospital care) • INGNMS services • 3G, LTE/EPC • Supply chain management • Ad-hoc networks • Utility sector applications • Transport networks • Environmental monitoring • Sensor networks • Public safety and emergency networks • These applications are projected to be the potential "goldmine" of revenue growth in the coming years for ISPs and associated partners

8. What can IPv6 bring to Multi-play applications Multi-play applications are characterised by very low margins. In order to build a viable business model, the solution consists of: • Implementing all technologies leading to save CAPEX and OPEX; • Deploying these services on a very large scale (it's a mass market characteristic); • Bringing innovation to the market by providing new advanced services easy to deploy and ready to use. IPv6 is the appropriate scenario to achieve this objective • Item 1: IPv6 will lead to the design and implementation of a very simple end-to-end architecture, without NAT boxes, or servers. It is cost effective, with reduced CAPEX, easy to exploit and maintain with a reduced OPEX. • Item 2: The large penetration of the applications or services needs a huge number of IP addresses. IPv6 will easily cater for this. • Item 3: The use of IPv6 addresses provides through automatic configuration mechanisms, giving the flexibility to address this category of customer and also exploit the seamless mobility.

9. Home Networking challenges: From ISPs perspective • Most ISP’s are now under strong pressure to gain market shares in the Home Networking • Multi-play applications, along with associated services are at the heart of their broadband strategy. • Home gateway is not only a VoIP, TV over ADSL enabler or internet WiFi router. • Home gateway will be a new home usageenabler for services such as music sharing, home automation with remote video monitoring (security), gaming, and others related to alternative home devices apart from PC’s, fixed or mobile devices.

14. IPv6 in 3GPP (LTE/EPC): architecture reference model • MME - Mobility Management Entity: • a control entity for signaling & security, authentication, mobility management (LTE  LTE, LTE  2G/3G) • Serving Gateway: • A user plane entity, being the anchor of intra-LTE and inter-3GPP/LTE interworking/mobility • terminates 3GPP/LTE access bearers. • Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway: • the anchor of 3GPP and non-3GPP Accesses • terminates 3GPP/non-3GPP access bearers • gateway to PDN Accesses. • Policy Control and charging Rule Function (PCRF) • the policy server which provides the operators’ policies on charging and QoS per-EPC bearer. • IETF: The Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol • defined in the IETF RFC 5123 as a network-based mobility management protocol. UE not involved in mobility signalling as opposed to Mobile IPv6. • 3GPP: GTP or MAP protocols • designed for the GPRS system and for some interfaces. • EPC network was supposed to be an all-IP network (AIPN) and 3GPP has considered re-use of IETF technologies such as PMIPv6.
