IPv 6 – The Situation n Unallocated IPv 4 address running out: q q

IPv 6 – The Situation n Unallocated IPv 4 address running out: q q IANA will allocate remaining /8 s by end of 2011 ARIN’s free space projected to last another ~12 months

IPv 6 – The Situation (II) n No current or imminent demand for IPv

IPv 6 – The Situation (II) n No current or imminent demand for IPv 6 n No OMB or DOE mandate to deploy it: n ESnet has “some” CIDR block space n Extra effort cycles are hard to come by

IPv 6 – ESCC n Current strategy: n Encourage site support for basic services

IPv 6 – ESCC n Current strategy: n Encourage site support for basic services (DNS, central web server(s), e-mail) Next step(s) were supposed to be: q q Site feedback on implications of IPv 6 support for basic services: • Effort estimate • Impact evaluation • Justification Draft white paper distilling results into ESCC recommendation for ESnet site IPv 6 support Draft position statement on ARIN IPv 4 exhaustion notification

What happened to that site feedback activity?

Revising the ESCC IPv 6 strategy a little? n n “Just do it” has

Revising the ESCC IPv 6 strategy a little? n n “Just do it” has its adherents But I’m not one of them… n “Avoid the torpedoes; prudent steam ahead”?

Suggestion for revising our IPv 6 strategy n Maybe the John Curran quote about

Suggestion for revising our IPv 6 strategy n Maybe the John Curran quote about having IPv 6 web services by 2012 is a better strategy? n Simpler, easier, with fewer concerns n Less effort n Still gets IPv 6 into the site q IPv 6 Peering q Something to build IPv 6 tools & monitoring capabilities around q Positive visibility

Aspects of IPv 6 support? n Network Infrastructure n Network Services n End System

Dimensions of evaluating IPv 6 support? n Technical dimension q Lots of technical issues

Dimensions of evaluating IPv 6 support? n Technical dimension q Lots of technical issues to identify n Security / policy dimension n Effort / cost dimension n <what else? >

Path Forward? Next Steps? n Site feedback on local implications of IPv 6 support:

Path Forward? Next Steps? n Site feedback on local implications of IPv 6 support: q What goes in this? • • • n Justification: q n Impact evaluation Effort estimate What else? OK, what is it? White paper to our parent committee (NLCIO)? q q Presumably includes impact / cost evaluation Do we make actually make a recommendation?
