IPv6 Market Trends
IPv6 Adoption Accelerating Worldwide
IPv4 Address Exhaustion
APAC and RIPE are out ( allocating from Last /8
RIPE /22 allocation only if IPv6 address has been
allocated
IPv6-Capable Devices
8 billion by 2016 (40% of all devices)*
80%
ARIN + LATNIC ~ Feb 2015

IPv6 Planning
The Scope of IPv6 Deployment
Planning and coordination is required
from many across the organization,
including …
Network engineers & operators
Security engineers
Application developers
Desktop / Server engineers
Web hosting / content developers
Business development managers
…
Moreover, training will be required for all
involved in supporting the various IPv6
based network services

High Level Lessons Learned
Lessons

Cross functional effort across the IT Stack
‒
Starts with networking team taking the lead
‒
Early engagement of security team, infrastructure and application teams follow

Business case for IPv6 Internet Presence is simpler to articulate

Business case for IPv6 on internal corporate network takes more work

Absorb the IPv6 effort into existing network lifecycle management process

Security concerns and mitigation

Operational readiness

‒
Training and knowledge of operations staff
‒
Network management and tooling, Configuration (automate where you can)
Planning is key, so is early hands-on experience with IPv6

Conclusion
 Start now and position for growth
 Next Steps:
– Assess, Plan, Design Trial, Train, Roll out
 Map out opportunities to be IPv6 ready
in planned technology refresh cycles
– Reference IPv6 Ready Logo, USGv6 and RIPE-501
 IPv6 is not identical to IPv4 so a review of the current
architectures is necessary to understand the possible
impact of integrating IPv6
 Education is key!
