5. Vision of the New IP New IP solutions much IP address space Enhanced Internet Wealthy Internet Industry New Internet Business Improved User Environment Next Generation IP Infrastructure Optical Internet Adoption of IPv6 Current IP QoS Home Networking Bandwidth Routing IP addresses Security Wireless/Wired Interworking

6. Background of IPv6 adoption • Ultimate Solution for Address Space Problem • Currently the number of IPv4 address is less than the number of IP users • New IP addresses will be inevitably required in the wireless IP areas (IMT2000, PDA, etc.) • Diffusion of Enhanced Internet protocol (IP) • Development of the IPv6-based new Internet • Internetworking between wired and wireless IP

7. Background of IPv6 adoption • Facilitating the Internet Protocol Industry • Development of IPv6-enabled devices • Core Router, Edge Router, Access Router, etc. • Creating the New Internet Businesses • New & applicative Internet service model • Enlargement of Internet business areas through integrated network and media.

8. Background of IPv6 adoption • Improving the User Environment • Easy to use • Easy to set-up • Efficient security • High-quality service

9. Official Announcement for IPv6 • It is urgent to create the environment to introduce IPv6, a new Internet address system • It will prepare for and carry out the “next-generation IP infrastructure plan” • We plan to develop IPv6-applied high speed IP equipments • It will include routers, Switches and Broad band DSLAM for XDSL IP solutions

10. Strategies for IPv6 Deployment • Objectives • Resolving the IP address space depletion problem. • Development of the Next-Generation IP infrastructure which can provide for E2E networking paradigm. • Facilitating and encouraging the IP industry. • Creating the new IP businesses • Improving Internet user environment

11. Strategies for IPv6 Deployment • IPv6 Address Allocation Policy • To ensure the enough IPv6 addresses • To establish the Policy for IPv6 address allocation • Policy for IPv6 address allocation, return, registration • Rule for IPv6 address allocation of application areas (IMT2000, Home Networking, etc.)

12. Strategies for IPv6 deployment • Migration to IPv6 • Phase I : • Establishment of experimental IPv6 Networks • Validation & Operation & Promotion of IPv6 • Development of core IPv6 translation technology • Phase II : • Introduce IPv6 to the non-profit network first • Try to extend to wireless IP Infrastructure (IMT2000, etc.) • Deployment of the IPv4/IPv6 transition system • Phase III : • Introduce IPv6 to the commercial IP • Internetworking between global IPv6 networks • Phase IV : <Complete global native IPv6 network> • fully native IPv6 network • International native IPv6 connectivity

13. Strategies for IPv6 deployment • Transition Roadmap Phase I Phase II Phase III Phase IV IPv4 Only IPv4 Ocean IPv4 Island IPv6 Only IPv4/IPv6 Translation Required Experimental IPv6 Network IPv6 Ocean IPv6 Island • Validation • Operation • Promotion • IMT2000 Service • Translation Service Commercial IPv6 Service (wire/wireless) Complete native IPv6

14. Strategies for IPv6 Deployment • Industry Supporting Policy • Development of core technologies for IPv4/IPv6 translation • Standardization activities for IPv6 technologies • Support for commercializing of NGI application services

15. Strategies for IPv6 Deployment • Vitalizing of the IP Business • Supporting the Internet business • Supporting the budget and education • Supporting the commercial service of IP contents • Early Development and Technology Sharing • Early development for risk/advanced technologies • Technology sharing for vendors or ISPs • Producing the professional human resources

16. Strategies for IPv6 Deployment • Improving the IP User Environment • Maximizing of Reliability & Convenience • Home Networking Standards • What is most efficient and economic standard ? • Consumer Protection Plan • Regulation for QoS of user-level in NGI environment • Insurance for IPt Services

17. IPv6 Favorable Businesses • IPv4/IPv6 Translation • Home Appliance and Related Devices • Security & QoS Support Network Devices • QoS Support Service Contents • Internet Phone and Related Service (push service, P2P) • Security Related Biz • Internet Game • Virtual Reality • Networking • IPv6 Support Applications <JFYI>

18. IPv6 Activities in Ethiopia • IPv6 Forum Preparation • Broad Band Multimedia Project • Broad band Internet Project • Integrating the Projects • National Interconnection Projects Toward the Next Generation IP World

19. IPv6 Forum Preparation • Mission • To allow access to knowledge and technology for the early deployment of IPv6 in domestic environment • To verify the adoption of IPv6 and its time • To improve IPv6-related market • To set environment for the transition from IPv4-based IP solutions to IPv6-based Next Generation IP solutions • IPv6 Forum Ethiopia is assumed to be establish in Telecom research Institutes, Universities, etc. • Major Roles • The correspondent partner of the international IPv6 Forum • Sharing of operation skills for the deployment of IPv6 • Sharing of IPv6 technology and know-how among members • Support and offering of development and implementation of IPv6-based technology and application

20. Broadband Multimedia Project • Goals • Development of IP/MPLS/ATM Strategy • Implementation of Translation Systems • Future Development of IPv6-based NGI QoS Technologies • IP Infrastructure Internetworking Technologies IPv6 World IPv4 World How to transit smoothly & transparently ?

21. Broadband Internet • Goals

22. Integrating The Projects • Goals • Standardization of important components to favor telecom solution • IP Infrastructure deployment • IP Address allocation • IP Multicast address allocation • Service discovery • Development of IPv6-based solutions • Use of IPv6 features • Avoid redundancy so as to achieve • Automatic management of large-scale network will allow operator to maintain minimum information for network management • Reducing the number of network components to be managed • Reducing the cost for network management
