IPV6 REALITY CHECK: THE IPV4 LONG TAIL


Function
Element Core Router: T Status

Many hosts & applications in customer residential networks (eg Win 95/98/2000/XP, Playstations, consumer electronic devices) are IPv4-only. Most software & servers in enterprise network are IPv4-only
They will not function in an IPv6-only environment. Few of those can or will upgrade to IPv6.

Content servers (web, email,) are hosted on the Internet by many different parties. It will take time to upgrade those to IPv6.

IS IPV6 TAKING OFF?


A number of very large ISPs and very large content providers are deploying IPv6 and various transition technologies now.
Still early in the adoption curve. But momentum is building fast So definitely cant be ignored.

But, IPv6 does not solve the immediate problem of IPv4 address exhaust. Maintaining IPv4 service after IPv4 exhaustion is #1 priority for most players.
This implies some form of IPv4 address sharing: NAT This implies transition technologies to choose from: DS-lite, This implies transport technologies to choose from: MPLS (6PE, 6VPE), IPsec,

All having an impact on solution and network architecture

IPv6

6RD (Rapid Deployment)


6rd is a transition technology to provide IPv6 service to end users over an existing IPv4 infrastructure. IPv6 packets are tunneled in IPv4 with stateless v6 to v4 mapping and automatic prefix delegation derived from the v6 destination of each packet. The key component changes are to the routed CPE to make it 6rd capable via software or hardware upgrade, and introduction of a 6rd border relay function in the Internet service provider (ISP) network to route the packets to IPv6 networks. This transition technology alternative enables IPv6 services over IPv4 infrastructure; however, it does not mitigate any IPv4 exhaustion concerns. 6rd can therefore be used as a complement to NAT444.

DS-Lite
DS Lite function occurs on a customer premises equipment (CPE) device such as a home gateway. If a device sends an IPv6 packet, the packet is routed normally to the IPv6 destination. If a device sends an IPv4 packet, the CPE gateway performs the IPv4-in-IPv6 encapsulation, setting the destination address of the IPv6 packet to the address of the DS Lite enabled CGNAT (aka AFTR).

A variation on the DS-Lite model implements DS-Lite on an individual end system rather than on a CPE device. The device is dual stacked, and therefore can send and receive both IPv4 and IPv6 packets. This has great potential for mobile broadband.

NAT444:
Three layers of IPv4 addressing
A private IPv4 block within the user network (behind the CPE NAT) A different private IPv4 block for the user-to-provider links (between the CPE NAT and the CGN AT) A public IPv4 address on the outside of the CG-NAT

In NAT444, the same IPv4 address block can be reused within each customer network, and the same IPv4 block can be reused on the inside of each CGNAT for the user-toprovider links. It is this reuse of addresses behind multiple CG-NATs that provides the IPv4 address scaling for NAT444 architecture.

A key advantage of this architecture is that it imposes no special requirements on the CPE NAT (assuming that RFC 1918 address space is used). However, to enable IPv6 services, either natively or via an IPv6 rapid deployment (6rd) tunneling technology, the CPE devices will need to be upgraded. 17

NAT64
Is an IPv4to-IPv6 Network Address Translator.

The headers of packets passing between an IPv6-only end system and an IPv4-only end system are converted from one protocol to the other,
allowing the end systems to communicate without knowing that the remote system is using a different IP version.

A special DNS ALG, known as DNS64, is used to trick IPv6 hosts into thinking that the IPv4 destination is an IPv6 address.
The IPv6 host thinks that it is communicating with another IPv6 system, and the IPv4 system thinks that it is talking to another IPv4 system. Neither end system participates directly in the translation process

CONCLUSION
It is the time for providers to get serious about IPv6. In doing so, it is critical to preserve IPv4 services.

Actions to be taken:
Replacing/upgrading every CPE to enable IPv6 Making the operation of NAT technologies scale Getting content on IPv6 Building an end-to-end network IPv6 enabled

Juniper provides what is needed today
