IPv6 in Europe

• The actors
• Research labs
• Research and Educational Networks
• Telcos, ISPs
• Industry
• The catalysts
• National and European RD Programs
• Organizations ETSI, IPv6 Forum, G6
• No strong political push
• No incentive to develop business, only today on
  RD programs

The Importance of IPv6

• We have to look at other means to stimulate the
  emergence of Mobile Internet. We have to see that
  a new Internet Protocol IPv6 will be rolled
  out swiftly. We have to stimulate European
  content production. We have to see that
  sufficient research funding is available for
  future wireless technologies, as is foreseen in
  the Commissions proposal for the 6th Framework
  programme for Research.
• Mr. Liikanens Appearance before EP Pleanry,
  1st March 2001

Some Steps Forward

• e-Europe 2002 plan of actions - Stockholm Summit
• Launch of a Task Force of representatives of
  European key actors to develop a comprehensive
  transition strategy by end 2001
• Increase and re-focus the EU support to RTD and
  Trans-European Networks to accelerate and
  facilitate the coherent transition to IPv6 in the
  period from 2002-2004.

• MISSION
• Gathering the (global) experts, to predict, plan
  for, and shape the future of the Digital
  Information Society
• Providing the opportunity for discussions, in
  order to encourage the worldwide deployment
  of IPv6. Topics include
• emerging technologies, legacy networks,
• convergence, interoperability, regulation,
• standards,applications, services, business
  practices,
• Results and recommendations to be reported back
  to Spanish Presidency next year.

Goals

• How to pronounce it forget IX and read 6 (SIX)
• Build a large, scalable and native IPv6 Backbone
  of Traffic Exchanges, with connectivity across
  Europe and other IPv4/v6 Exchangers
• In order to promote and allow other players to
  trial v6 and port/develop key applications and
  services
• Gain REAL IPv6 experience, in a real world with
  not just research users, involving
  Telcos/ISPs/ASPs, among others Allow new players
  into our trials
• Bring IPv6 into a production transit service

CONCLUSION

• In Europe, the shortage of addresses is not yet a
  problem for current networks, it will become one
  with wireless deployment or new applications
  deployment
• ISPs need first to increase their profit and gain
  market shares. Investments has to be preserved!
• So, the best solution is to deploy IPv6 at the
  border of the networks, with value added
  services.
• We are marketing new services, new applications,
  new network use!
