Starting point
Some history

„ IETF in 1992 to develop a new version with a larger address space and a feature set that
benefited from the many years of experience with IPv4. Ultimately, IPv6 basics were
standardized in 1998.
„ There are many wrong perceptions on IPv6
„ It will not solve all of our networking problems
„ It will not displace IPv4, they will coexist for many-many years
„ ...
„ BUT:
„ It will help us to being in business when IPv4 addresses are
exhausted

„ The European Commission has previously announced, as a part of

their i2010 initiative, an action plan to see IPv6 widely deployed
in Europe by 2010. (news)

„ IPv4 is running out of address space by 2010-2011 with a

symbolic date between 10/10/10 and 11/11/11

Preparing a business case for IPv6
Not an easy issue …

Challenges:
„ Customers are interested in service not technology
„ IPv6 is just a technology
„ IPv6 is an enabler for further ”BB home related/specific”
services/applications
„ Missing IPv6-only applications, limited IPv6 support for existing applications

 Introduction of IPv6 extension for HSI service
2 Phase Approach

Phase A – IPv6 Connected Devices

„ Trial phase
„ IPv6 reachability behind an IPv4 RG
„ Basic IPv6 connectivity to very limited endpoints / home
„ Separated PPPoE session initiated
from the PC for the IPv6 connection
„ IPoE based connection to the PC for the IPv4 connection
„ All the IPv6 traffic is tunneled to a centralized IPv6 BNG

Phase B – IPv6 Connected Homes

„ Commercial phase
„ IPv6 through an IPv4 / IPv6 capable dual-stack RG
„ IPv6 connectivity
„ Single PPPoE session initiated from the RG
„ IPoE based connection to the PC(s) for both protocols
„ All the ISP aggregation and network devices are dual-stack

Smooth transition / Phase A and Phase B solutions can coexist.

IPv6 address assignment (PPPoE)
Trial solution e2e
Basics:
„ BNG/LNS is receiving the /64 prefix from AAA via Radius and sending it via IPCPv6 ND/RA.
„ BNG/LNS is acting as a DHCPv6 Relay in case of DHCPv6 messages and when allocating /56 prefixes.

1. PPPoE link establishment, AN inserts Circuit-ID/Line-ID

2. LAC establishes the L2TP tunnel to the LNS / BNG based on the received parameters from the Radius
Server
3. LNS / BNG sends Radius Request (Information: UN/PWD)
4. Radius Accept (Information: /64 Framed-IPv6-Prefix)
5. BNG sends Radius Accounting (Information: UN)
6. /64 prefix info is provided to CPE via ICMPv6 ND/RA
7. Routing table entry is generated for /64 prefix as a connected route /64 prefix
8. CPE / DHCPv6 Client issues a DHCPv6 SOLICIT (IA_PD) for /56 prefix delegation /56 prefix
9. BNG DHCPv6 Relay Agent uses DUID as CLIENTID in RELAY-FORWARD to external DHCPv6 Server
10. External DHCPv6 Server sends RELAY-REPLY (IA_PD /56 prefix) based on DUID
11. BNG / DHCPv6 Relay Agent sends ADVERTISE (IA_PD /56 prefix)
12. CPE / DHCPv6 Client sends REQUEST (IA_PD /56 prefix)
13. BNG / DHCPv6 Relay Agent sends REPLAY (IA_PD /56 prefix)
14. Routing table entry is generated for /56 prefix as a static route via the connected /64 link
Note:
„ IPv4 related and LAC initiated AAA/RADIUS communications are not included.
„ IPv6 DNS Server information can be sent using DHCPv6 in stateless mode.
„ The prefix assignment process terminates in Step 6 & 7 if no DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation occurs
„ DHCPv6 ADVERTISE / REQUEST messages can be excluded by using DHCPv6Sisko-Expo: Rapid Commit

„ Long-term solution and end-game is IPv6
„ Customer Transition Strategies may differ
„ some may wish to prolong IPv4 usage for as long as possible

„ 3G Americas Recommends IPv6 Transition Considerations

‘The time is now’ for planning and implementation throughout the wireless ecosystem
February 25 2009, Bellevue, WA –

„The white paper recognizes that the transition to IPv6 is a significant effort and will carry
expense for operators, but at this point in time, can no longer be delayed. Failure to
transition to IPv6 in a timely manner will also cost operators money due to reasons such as
the inability to scale services. IPv6 has several additional benefits and will likely enable new
services that would otherwise be impossible in an IPv4-only world. ”
