IPv 6 ESCC Next Steps Phil De Mar

IPv 6 - ESCC Next Steps Phil De. Mar Winter 2011 Joint. Techs meeting February 3, 2011

What Should Our Next Steps Be? n Focus on 2012 milestones q n Concisely define scope of 2012 milestones for Labs q q n Lab interpretation of “public-facing” Explicitly identify what services we’ll work on • Public web servers, site email gateway, DNS Actively participate in DOE IPv 6 Transition efforts q n But keep 2014 milestones in mind… Suggestions on how to engage wider involvement? ESCC IPv 6 task force(s)?

ESCC IPv 6 Task Force(s)? n Task Force(s) Characteristics (generic): q q q n Positive aspects: q q q n Specific objective; tied to 2012 milestone Short term deliverable (3 -4 months? ) 3 -5 people Puts Labs out in front on DOE IPv 6 transition planning Engages wider spectrum of Lab community Tangible deliverables (presumably…) useful for individual sites Negative aspects: q q Effort needed Obligation to produce

What ESCC IPv 6 Task Force(s)? n Template IPv 6 Planning Process TF q q n IPv 6 Technical Implementation Recommendations TF q n Who needs to be engaged at sites High-level roadmap to get there Identify basic network-level issues w/ recommendations IPv 6 Implications for Security Infrastructure TF q Identify spectrum of security tool issues & problems

Other possible ESCC IPv 6 actions? n ESCC IPv 6 status dashboard? q q q n (+) Good way to instigate “incentive” (-) Higher-level USG & DOE dashboards likely to emerge Not clear level of effort needed, and by whom Automated checking or static configuration? Permanence? World IPv 6 Day – June 8, 2011: q q q (+) Opportunity for positive pub on IPv 6 (-) Time frame is pretty short Collective ESCC goal is a double-edged sword
