At the Internet ON (ION) Conference in Toronto on November 14, 2011, Paul Andersen, President of EGATE Networks Inc. and Board member of CIRA and ARIN, led a panel discussion into deployment and operations issues with IPv6 and DNSSEC. The panelists all had actual deployment experience and brought a number of different viewpoints to this discussion. In this introductory slide set, Paul Andersen set the scene for the discussion and provided some basic info about IPv6 deployment, particularly in Canada.
A video recording of the session will be available for viewing. Details will be posted at http://www.isoc.org/do/blog/ when the video is available.

6. DNSSEC: Rebuilding The Plane While In Flight…
• Serious flaws identified as far back as 1990
• Flaws publicized in 1995
• 1st Attempt at IETF (RFC 2065) started in 1997
• Attempts to implement lead to (RFC 2535) in 1999
• Scaling issues cause us back to drawing board to
develop DNSSEC-bis (RFC 4033) taking us to 2005
• Critical piece NSEC3 not formally defined until 2008
• Some TLD’s start to sign zones (.se, .cz, .org)
• Root Signed July 15th, 2010
• Comcast Deploys DNSSEC in October 18th, 2010

10. Opportunities
There is no central control of the Internet
No need for “permission” to innovate.
– E.g., to create and deploy the World Wide Web!
The landscape can change dramatically when actors see
and seize opportunities
Does anyone remember “AltaVista”?

11. Challenges
There is no central control of the Internet
No “master upgrade plan”
Individual actors (operators, content providers, users,
etc) move at their own pace
If an access provider has “no business case”, why invest in a new
technology?
So, the Internet needs IPv6 and DNSSEC, but getting all
the actors to move is a challenge.
