National IP Deployment Roadmap

Preparing for Future Communications

The Internet Architecture is based on the Internet Protocol (IP). This protocol connects different network elements like router, servers, hosts, computers, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices, mobile phones, sensors etc. This protocol specifies that each device should have a unique address to communicate globally with other devices on the Network. This address is known as the IP Address .

Internet Protocol & IP Address

IP Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) specifies that each device (router, servers, hosts, computers, Radio Frequency Identification devices (RFID) , mobile phones, sensors etc. )on a network should have a unique address to communicate globally with other devices on the Network.

IPV6 Address (Future)

Total Addresses = 2^32 = 4 billion Some addresses are reserved for special purposes like private networks or multicast addresses. However practicall only 250 million addresses are usable. 1/25/2012

Total Addresses = 2^128 = 340 billion, billion, billion, billion

Why our country needs adequate IP Addresses ?

Estimated Addresses (millions) 20 million Broadband connections by 2010 2,50,000 village panchayats on high speed Broadband connectivity by 2012. Currently more than 150 million mobile data customers and with 3G & BWA services it is expected that at least 25% will migrate and need permanent IP addresses within a year National Knowledge Network (NKN) 1500 colleges and universities, IP address to each student E-governance Infrastucture centre and States Financial Markets Infrastucture UIDAI Project Organizational Networks, Public Servers, Websites 65 million* * Immediate Requirement within a year, which is expected to increase rapidly 20 2.5 37.5

Adequate IP Addresses for the following

Next Generation Networks (NGN) All types of Communication devices in 4G scenario For expanding the country s e-governance infrastructure Organizational Networks, Public servers and websites etc. ALL Communication Networks and Devices will need IP Addresses

IPv4 Consumption: Projection

Expected IANA Pool Depletion - October 2011 Expected RIR Pool Depletion - August 2012

Current Availability = 16 blocks (of /8 addresses) = 268 million for whole world Consumption ~ 2 blocks / month
10

Solution ?
Only 18.5 million IPv4 addresses for a population of 1.2 billion in India.
But the requirement for IP addresses will keep increasing with new services, new networks, new applications. Telecommunications will be largest consumer of IP addresses in coming years (Broadband, 3G, NGN, 4G, LTE etc.)
IPv4 is a diminishing resource and is very costly compared to IPv6 right now and will be more costlier with passage of time

IPv6 is the only solution !

How IPv6 will help ?

Large Address Space 128-bit addressing scheme, practically unlimited addresses to connect every possible device End to End Communication Useful from Security angle since every device on the network can be traced, not possible in IPv4 due to NAT (Network Address Translation) Improved Security using IPSec Mandatory implementation in IPv6 ensures that all transmission is secured Support for 4G, NGN IP is mandatory in 4G technologies like LTE and NGN implementations, so IPv6 is only option IP Mobility Cellular telephony like features in IP networks is possible new Greenfield Applications possible

Initiatives by Government
Various issues on IPv6 were deliberated at different levels in DoT, DIT,TRAI and other Stakeholders during previous years based on which Telecom Commission in 2009 entrusted TEC for IPv6 related activities in addition to others

IPv6 Activities of TEC

Some Important Extracts from Workshops

Suitable policy framework by Govt. for smooth Transition. Specific deadlines for Transition Creation of IPv6 Task Force and working Groups More Training and awareness activities Guidance to SME service providers and organizations on implementing IPv6 Govt. departments should take IP-based services from only IPv6 ready ISPs after a certain period of time Promoting Pilot projects in Greenfield Applications

Few Suggested Applications for Pilot projects using IPv6

 Logistics and Supply Chain  Intelligent Transport System  Rural Emergency Healthcare System  Tele-medicine  Tele-education  Smartgrids  Smart Buildings (Many more such applications are available)
Different Ministries, Government Departments and Organizations in Private Sector can come forward to Work on these and similar Pilot Projects.

Based on various IPv6 activities and discussions with stakeholders a need for a suitable policy was felt for timely implementation of IPv6 in the country. Accordingly TEC has prepared the National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap , which has been approved by the Government and has been released by Hon ble MOC&IT in July 2010.

Actionable Points of National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap

1. All major Service providers (having at least 10,000 internet customers or STM-1 bandwidth) will target to handle IPv6 traffic and offer IPv6 services by December-2011. 2. All central and State government ministries and departments, including its PSUs, shall start using IPv6 services by March2012. 3. Formation of the IPv6 Task Force with the proposed structure.

IPv6 Task Force

The Task Force will broadly have the following units 1. Working Groups ( 9 ) 2. Steering Committee (1) 3. Oversight Committee (1)
