There have been many IPv6 conferences over the past 15 years, but this year\u2019s\u00a0North American IPv6 Summit<\/a>\u00a0was something special.\u00a0\u00a0There was much rejoicing<\/a>\u00a0over the growth in IPv6 usage and celebration of many successful IPv6 deployments.\u00a0 This article will share with you the history of the event and the organizers behind this conference.\u00a0 This article will recap the details of the event and\u00a0the fantastic presentations that were given<\/a>\u00a0and where you can go to\u00a0watch the video replay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

History of the North American IPv6 Task Force<\/h2>\n

As the IETF was finishing up their exploratory work on\u00a0IP next generation<\/a>\u00a0(IPng) and finalizing the\u00a0initial draft of the IPv6 RFC<\/a>, it became clear that the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 would not be trivial.\u00a0 Organizations started to form to help with the transition by bringing together like-minded people who wanted to work on furthering IPv6 adoption.<\/p>\n

Most notably, the\u00a0IPv6 Forum<\/a>\u00a0was founded in 1999 as a central organization to coordinate a worldwide effort to adopt IPv6.\u00a0 Today, most countries in the world have some form of an IPv6 task force.\u00a0 For example, the\u00a0North American IPv6 Task Force<\/a>\u00a0(NAv6TF) was\u00a0first formed in 2001<\/a>.\u00a0 The group had a high activity level at the time as IPv6 was being tested and planned for by the U.S. federal government and service providers.\u00a0 For many years, the NAv6TF was led by Jim Bound, and they hosted many events and meetings.\u00a0 Tragically,\u00a0Jim Bound passed away in 2009<\/a>\u00a0(almost exactly 9 years ago), but\u00a0he is still remembered to this day for his passion for IPv6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jim Bound had many ideas for how IPv6 task forces should operate.\u00a0 Among these included how the groups should keep IPv6 in the academic realm, free from undue corporate influence.\u00a0 The IPv6 community should adhere to the original principles of an open and free Internet.\u00a0 The IPv6 groups should be volunteer teams and avoid payment for being involved in IPv6 research, development or evangelism.\u00a0 The goal was to avoid having money influence the IPv6 adoption process.<\/p>\n

After Jim\u2019s passing, there was a significant hole in the IPv6 community in North America as there was no one who could replace Jim.\u00a0 Individual IPv6 task forces within North America started to form, starting with the\u00a0MidAtlantic IPv6 Task Force<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0California IPv6 Task Force<\/a>.\u00a0 These groups were followed by\u00a0IPv6 Forum Mexico<\/a>,\u00a0IPv6 Canada<\/a>, the\u00a0Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Texas IPv6 Task Force<\/a>.\u00a0 Here is\u00a0a map<\/a>\u00a0of how the North American IPv6 Task Forces cover the continent.<\/p>\n

2017 North American IPv6 Summit<\/h2>\n

A decade ago, there was a distinct lack of\u00a0IPv6 training opportunities<\/a>, but now there are more\u00a0IPv6 training resources<\/a>\u00a0available.\u00a0 But while there may be more\u00a0IPv6 books<\/a>\u00a0and more online classes and how-to guides available on the Internet, there are fewer IPv6 conferences than occurred a decade ago.\u00a0 Training staff prior to an IPv6 deployment is critical to the success of the project. \u00a0Our very own Infoblox IPv6 COE colleague, Ed Horley, laid out his\u00a06-phases for IPv6 adoption<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Phase 2 focused on IPv6 training<\/a>.\u00a0 The last\u00a0North American IPv6 Summit was in Denver Colorado in 2015<\/a>\u00a0so it has been 2 years since the last major IPv6 conference in this region.\u00a0 That is why this year\u2019s\u00a0North American IPv6 Summit<\/a>\u00a0was such a highly-anticipated event.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s IPv6 Summit event was a\u00a02-day event<\/a>\u00a0focused on the accomplishments that have been made in recent years that have driven the accelerating growth in IPv6 Internet traffic.\u00a0 The event celebrated the hard work performed by broadband service providers, mobile carriers, online content providers, content distribution networks, equipment manufacturers, operating system manufacturers, and numerous other organizations.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s\u00a0North American IPv6 Summit<\/a>\u00a0was hosted at LinkedIn\u2019s headquarters in Sunnyvale California.\u00a0 The LinkedIn facility was a comfortable setting to host an educational and collaborative confluence of IPv6 enthusiasts and experts.\u00a0 There were many highlights from the agenda, as well as amazing keynote presentations, food, fun, and comradery.\u00a0 Prevalent themes were increasing Internet IPv6 adoption, organizations sharing their deployment experience and organizations deploying IPv6-only networks.<\/p>\n

Keynote Presentations<\/h2>\n

The IPv6 Summit event had three fantastic keynote presentations.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0first keynote presentation of the IPv6 Summit<\/a>\u00a0was by\u00a0Tony Scott<\/a>, with the TonyScottGroup. \u00a0Tony was formerly appointed by President Barack Obama to serve as the third Federal Chief Information Officer of the United States and Tony was also formerly the CIO of Microsoft.\u00a0 Tony discussed the evolution of technology and the parallels to his career.\u00a0 Tony spoke about IPv6 adoption in the federal government and the effectiveness of technical mandates, such as IPv6.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0second keynote presentation<\/a>\u00a0was delivered by\u00a0John Curran<\/a>, the President and CEO of the\u00a0American Registry of Internet Numbers<\/a>\u00a0(ARIN).\u00a0 John gave a history lesson of the original ideals that IP next generation (IPng) was created and how they have metamorphosed over the past two decades.\u00a0 His conclusion was that the ultimate goal is to \u201cbuild a better Internet\u201d, not just add more IP addresses with IPv6.\u00a0 John also spoke about how many Internet users fear technological complexity and are scared about using the Internet.\u00a0 Can we make the IPv6 Internet a \u201cbetter Internet\u201d that is more secure and runs better?\u00a0 The call to action to the audience was to produce an Internet using IPv6 that is more friendly and robust.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0third keynote presentation<\/a>\u00a0we given by\u00a0Franck Martin<\/a>, of LinkedIn.\u00a0 Franck spoke about the journey LinkedIn has made to adopt IPv6 in their internal systems for their public social networking service.\u00a0 He spoke about how they organized their IPv6 adoption efforts and the resulting growth in IPv6 traffic that LinkedIn has witnessed over the past three years.\u00a0 LinkedIn has performed extensive network testing and their telemetry data has confirmed that\u00a0IPv6 can be faster than IPv4<\/a>.\u00a0 He went through the technical considerations for IPv6 across their three pillars: Network, Hardware, and Software.\u00a0 He covered the IPv6 deployment issues and best practices related to each of these pillars.\u00a0 Franck concluded by stating that LinkedIn\u2019s IPv6 team aims to dispose of IPv4 and solely focus on IPv6 in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Prevalent Theme: IPv6 Adoption Growth<\/h2>\n

IPv6 pundits (like those in our very own Infoblox IPv6 COE) often show\u00a0graphs charting the progress of IPv6 usage<\/a>. The IPv6 Summit presentations continued this practice.\u00a0 At the IPv6 summit, there were\u00a0several presentations<\/a>\u00a0of success stories of IPv6 adoption and growing worldwide IPv6 traffic volumes.<\/p>\n

Dani Grant<\/a>, with CloudFlare, spoke about their CDN encouraging customers to deploy IPv6 and setting it on by default for new and current customers.\u00a0 From their perspective, as one of the largest\u00a0Content Delivery Networks<\/a>\u00a0(CDNs), they do see DDoS attacks over both IP versions.\u00a0 Her presentation shared a lot of data about their current IPv6 traffic sources and destinations.\u00a0 Dani also mentioned some interesting work they are doing with contemplating the\u00a0separation of A and AAAA queries<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0new IETF draft they have written<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday,\u00a0Owen DeLong<\/a>, from Akamai, gave historical background on the transition to IPv6.\u00a0 Owen also showed many graphs of IPv6 traffic from the worldwide Akamai network perspective.\u00a0 Owen mentioned that Akamai is now serving over 1 Billion IPv6 requests\/day and that their IPv6 traffic has peaked at 2 Tbps.\u00a0 To see the most current IPv6 statistics from Akamai, go visit\u00a0their State of the Internet site for IPv6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The IPv6 Forum and the North American IPv6 Task Forces\u00a0recognized those top service providers who had exceeded IPv6-enabling 20% of their subscriber popula…<\/a>.\u00a0 The service providers that were awarded this\u00a0Jim Bound award<\/a>\u00a0were (in alphabetical order): AT&T, Charter, Comcast, Cox Communications, Google Fiber, Hughes Net, Midco, Rogers (Canada), Sprint, TELUS (Canada), T-Mobile, and Verizon.<\/p>\n

Prevalent Theme: IPv6 Deployment Experience<\/h2>\n

There were many presentations at the IPv6 Summit that covered best practices and lessons learned from deploying IPv6.\u00a0 Certainly, Franck Martin\u2019s keynote contained many of these ideas.\u00a0 There were also service providers who spoke at the IPv6 Summit speaking about\u00a0deploying IPv6-only networks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tom Coffeen<\/a>, IPv6 Evangelist and Distinguished Architect at Infoblox and IPv6 COE lead, gave a presentation on his favorite topic: IPv6 address planning.\u00a0 Tom spoke about the astronomical size of IPv6 and how to avoid IPv4-scarcity mentality when planning for IPv6.\u00a0 He re-iterated how IPv6 prefixes should be laid out simply and can scale to massive environments.\u00a0 Tom then lead the audience through a multinational organization\u2019s IPv6 addressing case study to reinforce these concepts.\u00a0 For further details on the best practices for IPv6 address planning, you can explore his\u00a0O\u2019Reilly Media book on the topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday,\u00a0Rob Barton<\/a>, Principal Systems Engineer from Cisco, gave a presentation on IoT and IPv6.\u00a0 Rob provided background on IoT communications technologies and described the nexus with IPv6.\u00a0 He described their building in Toronto Ontario that uses the\u00a0Cisco Digital Ceiling<\/a>\u00a0industrial lighting technology that leverages IPv6.\u00a0 Rob described many IPv6 IoT networking protocols and how\u00a0MAP-T<\/a>\u00a0can support SmartGrid applications.\u00a0 Rob then described the case study of\u00a0BC Hydro in Vancouver British Columbia Canada<\/a>\u00a0and how they were able to IPv6-enable millions of smart meters resulting in a simpler and faster mesh network.\u00a0 This was a great update to\u00a0the presentation that was given at the 2014 IPv6 Summit<\/a>\u00a0by BC Hydro.<\/p>\n

Veronika Millkop<\/a>, Network Architect at Microsoft, gave a presentation on Microsoft\u2019s own internal journey to IPv6.\u00a0 IPv6 testing and deployment first started at Microsoft in 2001, but Microsoft started to internally deploy IPv6 via\u00a0ISATAP<\/a>\u00a0in 2006 to support IPv6 software and OS development.\u00a0 Veronika re-iterated the adage that \u201cdual stack is IPv6 half done\u201d and their plans were to move to a single-protocol network.\u00a0 Microsoft currently has two IPv6-only networks: one for wireless guests and the other for internal connectivity using NAT64\/DNS64.\u00a0 Their preference to start with wireless guest services to set up IPv6-only was driven by the fact that this environment is much simpler and gives them good information about anything that may have difficulty working in an IPv6-only environment.\u00a0 Now\u00a0Microsoft Windows 10 supports DHCPv6 and RDNSS<\/a>, but they must continue to support SLAAC for any Android devices that may be used in their environment.\u00a0 Microsoft is now starting to contemplate disabling IPv4 in future products.\u00a0 Veronica also spoke about the\u00a0UK IPv6 Council<\/a>\u00a0and the issues remaining for IPv6<\/p>\n

Dr. David Holder<\/a>, founder and chief consultant at\u00a0Erion Ltd.<\/a>\u00a0and leader of the IPv6 Task Force Scotland, gave a presentation about his research on the viability of\u00a0Carrier Grade NAT<\/a>\u00a0(CGN).\u00a0 He described the issues resulting from moving the public IPv4 address further away from the end-user and the application challenges of CGN.\u00a0 All these CGN limitations are just more reasons to deploy IPv6 to restore native end-to-end communication.<\/p>\n

Shannon McFarland<\/a>, Distinguished Engineer with Cisco and RMv6TF member, gave a presentation on IPv6 in cloud technologies and how organizations build and use cloud infrastructures.\u00a0 Shannon reviewed how IPv6 is used in commercial IaaS cloud services, what IPv6 capabilities are in private cloud platforms, and in container-based systems.\u00a0 Shannon gave a live demonstration showing how templates and OpenStack can be used to rapidly deploy services that have IPv6 connectivity.\u00a0 Shannon talked about the caveats of addressing server instances upon bootup and the other remaining IPv6 features cloud customers require.\u00a0 For more information on the technical details,\u00a0please refer to his blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kevin Jones<\/a>, NASA IPv6 Transition Manager, gave a presentation, from the U.S. Federal perspective, how IPv6 is being adopted in those department and agency enterprise networks.\u00a0 He went through a brief review of the IPv6 mandates and target dates for IPv6 deployment.\u00a0 Kevin spoke about how the U.S. Federal teams are collaborating, documenting, and organizing their IPv6 deployment efforts.\u00a0 Kevin discussed the NASA IPv6 planning items and their activities related to forming teams, training, working on IPv6 addressing plans, and tracking progress on goals.\u00a0 Kevin also showed how the\u00a0NIST Advanced Network Technologies Division are tracking<\/a>\u00a0federal organizations IPv6 deployment status.\u00a0 A resource that any enterprise can leverage is the NIST special publication titled \u201cA Profile for IPv6 in the U.S. Government \u2013 Version 1.0<\/a>\u201d (SP 500-267).<\/p>\n

Prevalent Theme: IPv6-Only<\/h2>\n

Here at the\u00a0Infoblox IPv6 Center of Excellence<\/a>\u00a0community blog we have written much about operating a single-protocol IPv6-only networked environment.\u00a0 Ed Horley recently wrote about \u201cThe road to IPv6-only in the Enterprise Data Center<\/a>\u201d and \u201cThe ideas behind IPv6-only<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0 Tom Coffeen has written about\u00a0IPv4 becoming the \u201clegacy protocol\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and I jokingly wrote about the terms\u00a0No-IPv4 or IPv4less or Simply IPv6-only<\/a>.\u00a0 These same sentiments were represented in several of the IPv6 Summit presentations.<\/p>\n

Stephan Lagerholm<\/a>, from T-Mobile and the founder of the TXv6TF, talked about their preference for IPv6 and the fact that their subscribers using iPhones with\u00a0iOS version 10.3<\/a>\u00a0are operating using IPv6-only.\u00a0 T-Mobile is now at 84% of their subscribers having IPv6 connectivity.\u00a0 The last 16% of IPv4-only devices represent older handsets\/tablets and some IPv4-only IoT devices as well as other Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) who have not yet deployed IPv6.\u00a0 Stephan also demonstrated some\u00a0mobile applications that help with testing IPv6 connectivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the experiential presentations about actual IPv6 adoption was titled \u201cJourney to IPv6 Campus of the Future\u201d and was presented by Loghs Srinivasan, Mei Fan, and Travis Norling from Cisco.\u00a0 This presentation was about their experiences enabling\u00a0Cisco\u2019s San Jose Campus Building 23 (SJC23) as an IPv6-only building<\/a>.\u00a0 This project reflected their \u201cCustomer Zero\u201d philosophy of testing their own technology in their own IT systems before selling those products to customers.\u00a0 Building 23 is a 3-story 500-person building with wired and wireless and data center network infrastructure.\u00a0 They spoke about the end-user engagement, requirements gathering, training and support all through the December 2016 holiday transition to IPv6.<\/p>\n

John Brzozowski<\/a>, Chief Architect, IPv6 and Fellow from Comcast, spoke about their plans to move toward IPv6-only networking, systems and services.\u00a0 Currently, Comcast is approaching 50% of their Internet traffic delivered via IPv6.\u00a0 He showed a graph of their\u00a0X1 entertainment system<\/a>\u00a0set top boxes (STBs) with IPv6 connectivity and how the number of IPv4-only STBs has dramatically declined.\u00a0 He mentioned his personal goal to start to turn off IPv4, but that before Comcast can do so, they need to first minimize and reduce IPv4 dependencies.\u00a0 Comcast is planning the network for their new\u00a0Innovation and Technology Center<\/a>\u00a0building in Philadelphia and they would like to make that an IPv6-only building.\u00a0 They are assessing everything that may be connected in that building to assess if it can operate in an IPv6-only wired and wireless network.<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n

From this conference, it was undeniably clear that the Internet continues to adopt IPv6 at a high rate.\u00a0 It is conceivable that\u00a0IPv6 will overtake IPv4<\/a>\u00a0in the near term.\u00a0 There were many companies sharing their IPv6 deployment stories and lessons learned.\u00a0 It was also thrilling to hear from those organizations that are pushing past the dual-stack transition phase into an IPv6-only network environment.<\/p>\n
