2. A new chapter in EU history
 Lisbon Treaty and the new institutional setting
 New European Commission
 New ambitions and priorities (Barroso II „guidelines‟, EU2020)
 Enhancing economic prosperity and social cohesion
 Building on 50 years of achievements
 Digital Agenda is a major building block of the EU2020
 A new policy framework for ICT (post i-2010)
 Future Internet at the core of the Digital Agenda
 Key enabler for multiple EU policies (inclusion, employment,
sustainability, health, internal market, etc.)

6. Why EC involvement in IPv6
deployment?
• Slow down of Internet growth
• Distortion of the market
• Negative effects on innovation

7. European steps..
Focus of R&D moving from research to industrial uptake
TIME
R&D projects.. international cooperation… Prepare deployment
IPv6 testbeds demonstrated the feasibility and the
R&D projects value added. GEANT and NRENs IPV6 enable.
Large scale testbeds Launching of National and EU Task Forces
Dissemination New communication

Policy actions
Procurement
European Defence Ag has IPv6
enablement in its work plan
ISP Commercial offers
FREE in France and others coming ••• 7

Parliament and Council on IPv6
ADVANCING THE INTERNET
Action Plan for the deployment
of Internet Protocol version 6
(IPv6) in Europe
May 2008

9. ACTION PLAN TARGETS
• Europe should sets itself a
target: at least 25% of
users should be able to
connect to IPv6 2010.
• Cooperate with content
and service providers –
encourage ISP to provide
IPv6 connectivity.
••• 9

10. ACTION PLAN TARGETS
• IPv6 to be used by
Research Projects under
FP 7 whenever possible
• “Europa” and “CORDIS”
IPv6 accessible 2010.
• Encourage Member States
to use Public Procurement
• Awareness campaigns
intended for different
users groups.
••• 10

11. ACTION PLAN TARGETS
• Support of the inclusion
of IPv6 on education
curricula through a
separate study.
• Security and Privacy (S&P)
issues.
• Support from ENISA
• Progress Review 2010
to assess the progress
through separate study.
••• 11

12. Study on Security
Advantages of IPv6
Planning reliability: extended lifetime compared to IPv4
Simplified and extensible address plan
Standard routing (i.e. no NAT)
Direct availability of secure mobility (NEMO w/ IPsec/IKE)
Simplified deployment of IPsec/IKE
Shortcomings/challenges of IPv6
Maturity of proposed solutions (work in progress)
Scalability to be asserted (work in progress)
Migration of current infrastructures (core, airports…) , planes and
legacy applications
Training of administrators

13. Study for Curricula
• The objective of the IPv6 Curricula study is to
analyse
– the actors (offer and needs)
– the processes related to the stakeholders’ training on the
new Internet Protocol IPv6.
• The study will permit: to establish scenarios aimed at
evaluating how actions aimed at developing the IPv6
training offer would support and potentially accelerate the
IPv6 adoption in Europe.
• The study will be illustrated: by case studies and will be
expressed through recommendations.
••• 13

14. Project IPv6 Monitoring Deployment
Four main objectives:
•Calculate the number of IPv6 enabled users
•Conducting two specific IPv6 measurement
campaigns for Europe in 2009 and 2010
•Assessing the global deployment, quality and
security of current IPv6 products and services
•Disseminating the results
••• 14

15. IPv6 Measured deployment from a user perspective
• More than a half year of measuring unique users
of IPv6…
– ≈ 5 million measurements gathered, ≈ 20 websites
• Some improvement in IPv6 deployment tends to
be visible
– Netherlands most significant data, IPv6 growth ≈0.6%
••• 15
– Smaller countries dataset increasing, but still too small

16. IPv6 Deployment Survey:
2009
RIPE APNIC
16%
17%
82% 77%
IPv6 traffic is insignificant
IPv6 traffic is less than IPv4 traffic
IPv6 traffic is same as IPv4 traffic
source: TNO/GNKS 2009 ••• 16
IPv6 traffic is greater than IPv4 traffic

17. Possible next steps……
Gather with interested stakeholders to follow up the piloting of IPv6
in relevant EU programmes. The objective will be to encourage
and support the deployment of IPv6 in Member States, through
activities that might include:
• Show cases
• Training
• Exchange of best practices
• Applications and services
• …
••• 17

18. IPv6 piloting
 Case studies in some of the more advanced
Member States
 Define “experiments” implementation cases
(3-5) between 500.000-1000.000 € each
 Define the actors who should be involved in
the practical execution, …..Public authority,
users, ISP, Service provider…..
 Address concrete showcases, best practice, share
results, benifits, problems…..
••• 18

19. Sharing of best practices across
Member States involving relevant actors
Aim: Piloting different real show cases
Benifits, problems, experience, costs, ”cook book” for upgrades

Pilot B will consist of 3 to 5 experiments with different settings
addressing different domains.
Potential domains for the pilot include for example:
Government, agency, companies ••• 19

21. In conclusion
• Deployment of IPv6 is not happening
fast enough
• Negative effects on innovation have
to be avoided
• Awareness, Cooperation and Piloting
