IPv6 Synopsis
IPv6 Synopsis
Session: 2015-2019
Broad Area: Expansion capacity for addressing and routing, Simplified header
format, Auto-configuration, Improved security with mandatory IPsec
implementation, Elimination of the need for NATs (network address
translators), Mobility.
Abstract: Todays Internet addresses are running out. The Internet protocol IPv6
represents one solution. IPv6 entails new opportunities and functions, but
resembles the previous standard (IPv4). This report explains the additional
functionality of the IPv6 protocol in comparison with the currently used IPv4.
The major problem is that the two protocols are incompatible. It explains
possible migration scenarios as well as security aspects related to the new
protocol. Some action points for future work are identified in the end of the
report.
IPv6 requires a systematic and controlled deployment for good accessibility and
security. Four-phase deployment are :- take stock , plan , activate , manage.
Consequences in respect of accessibility, security and finances:use and manage IPv6 with the same level of quality as IPv4. Take into consideration
that security work is an ongoing process. An additional protocol entails increased
complexity.
The cost of deployment depends on several factors. For example, the need for new
hardware and software, the number of e-services, the size and complexity of the
network, requirements for security and accessibility, training and the support of
consultants.
Proposals for further work:The public sector should deploy IPv6 to make it possible to communicate with
everyone on the Internet. This means an increased demand for products and
services with IPv6, which will accelerate progress. PTS proposes that IPv6 should be
considered in government framework contracts.
