What is IPv6?
Please read the notes section for more detail

• IPv6 is a new version of the Internet Protocol
  (IP)
• next generation internet
• Designed to overcome limitations of IPv4
• limited IP address space
• constrained user mobility
• cumbersome device configuration
• Will enable expansion of net-centric devices,
  applications, and services
• VoIP (Voice over IP)
• Remote sensing
• Smart devices

4
Why is the Federal government mandating IPv6?
Please read the notes section for more detail

• International competition The U.S. must address
  the challenge from international competition
  (e.g. Asia, Europe) in IPv6 implementation.
• Lead by example Federal government agencies
  will serve as a model for U.S. enterprise IPv6
  transformation.
• Serve as market catalyst Federal government
  adoption will spur innovation and development of
  IPv6 products in the marketplace.

• But most importantly
• Business drivers - IPv6 will enable a new
  communication paradigm for the Federal
  government.

5
What are the features of IPv6?
Please read the notes section for more detail

• mandatory IPSec

• better audio/video transmission

• variable header size

• 128 bit address

• device plug and play

6
What are the business benefits of IPv6?
Please read the notes section for more detail

• Unlimited opportunity to bring new communication
  capabilities to the enterprise, such as
  internet-enabled
• medical, military, and first-responder devices
• RFID tags
• revenue collection and/or case management tools
• environmental remote sensing
• net-centric apps and services (e.g. VoIP)

The possibilities are endless
7
What does OMB Memorandum 05-22 instruct agencies
to do?
Please read the notes section for more detail
OMB Memorandum 05-22 directs agencies to
successfully transition their network backbone to
IPv6 by June 2008, and.

• Identify an IPv6 agency lead
• Develop a network backbone transition plan for
  IPv6
• Complete two (2) inventories of IP-aware devices
  and technologies
• First is due in February 2006
• Second is due in June 2006
• Complete an IPv6 transition impact analysis
• Complete an IPv6 progress report
• Submit to OMB all of these items (with the
  exception of the second inventory) with their
  February 28, 2006 Enterprise Architecture
  assessment

8
What IPv6 guidance will be published?
Please read the notes section for more detail
To assist agencies with development of their IPv6
transition plans, the AIC will be publishing
guidance in several chapters, as well as an IPv6
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document.

• Chapter I Integrating IPv6 into EA Planning
  Activities (target date 11/15/05)
• Focus on EA planning and February 2006 EA
  submission
• IPv6 Frequently Asked Questions (target date
  11/30/05)
• Focus on compliance with 05-22
• Chapter II Developing an IPv6 Transition Plan
  (target date 1/15/06)
• Focus is on general transition planning,
  IA/security, applications, testing, and training
  based on DoD best practices
• Chapter III Governance (target date 2/15/06
  exact date TBD)
• Chapter IV Acquisition/Procurement (target date
  2/28/06 exact date TBD)

More in-depth, technical guidance will need to
come out of an AIC-sponsored IPv6 working group
9
How do I integrate IPv6 into EA planning?
Please read the notes section for more detail
Chapter I Integrating IPv6 into EA Planning
Activities

• Identify strategic drivers and business uses for
  IPv6 at agency-level
• Incorporate IPv6 (including new business
  capabilities) into IRM Strategic Plan
• Update the Agency Enterprise Architecture to
  reflect new capabilities and technologies
• Baseline architecture
• Target architecture
• EA transition strategy
• Other EA documentation

Chapter I of IPv6 guidance addresses these topics
in more depth
10
EA Transition and Sequencing Plans
Agencies should integrate IPv6 with other
infrastructure-related efforts. The EA Transition
Strategy should reflect these interrelationships
and milestones
11
EA Assessment Framework 2.0
OMB will use EA Assessment Framework 2.0 to
assess agency compliance with OMB Memorandum
05-22, and overall progress with IPv6
-
Excerpted from EA Assessment Framework 2.0,
still in draft form
12
How will OMB assess agency IPv6 progress?
Please read the notes section for more detail
OMB will use
OMB will look at
OMB Enterprise Architecture Assessment Framework
2.0
Agency IRM Strategic Plan
Agency EA Transition Strategy
IPv6 Progress Report
IPv6 Device Inventories
Specifically, OMB will be looking for
establishment of IPv6 transition milestones, and
progress against those milestones
13
What else is being done to support agencies?
Please read the notes section for more detail

• Communications
• IPv6 portal (Core.gov?)
• Acquisition policy
• FAR and DFAR cases opened
• Address-space acquisition
• Department of Commerce
• Standards/guidelines
• NIST standards (not funded yet)
• DISA IPv6-capable requirements matrix

14
What still needs to be done?
Please read the notes section for more detail
Agency IPv6-leads need to begin working with one
another.

• Stand up an IPv6 Working Group (IPv6 agency leads
  and SMEs) to
• Lead development of more in-depth transition
  guidance
• Coordinate inter-agency and stakeholder issues
• Coordinate agency interoperability testing, where
  needed
• Post and maintain IPv6 knowledge capital on IPv6
  portal

15
OMB AIC Roles and Responsibilities
Please read the notes section for more detail

• OMB
• Compose Chapters II, III, and IV of IPv6
  guidance with support from IPv6 SMEs, as needed.
• Compose IPv6 FAQ.
• Review IPv6 inventory device submissions
  aggregate and redact for publication to industry.
• Facilitate creation of FAR and DFAR cases for
  IPv6 acquisition.
• Facilitate NIST publication of IPv6 standards.
• Publish DISA IPv6-capable matrix as RFC.
• Facilitate government-wide IP-address
  acquisition by Dept of Commerce.
• Assess agency progress with IPv6 transition and
  compliance with Memorandum 05-22.

• AIC
• Review and publish Chapters II, III, and IV of
  guidance to agencies.
• Review and publish IPv6 FAQ to agencies.
• Stand up and oversee IPv6 working group (agency
  IPv6 leads?).
• Oversee development and publication of any
  additional IPv6 technical guidance or work
  products (coming from working group).

IPv6 working group (and potentially IAC) will be
tasked with additional responsibilities as deemed
appropriate
16
Guiding Principles for IPv6 Implementation
Please read the notes section for more detail

• IPv6 transition IS
• A strategic enterprise transformation
• Focused on new business capabilities
• Future-oriented an opportunity for agencies to
  INNOVATE
• Enterprise-architecture driven
• An initiative that should be integrated with
  other infrastructure efforts (e.g. COOP, HSPD-12)

• IPv6 transition IS NOT
• Just a network upgrade
• Just the CIOs problem
