Why IPv6?!

In The Beginning...!

192.168.20.12

Mobility!

A Plethora of Portable Platforms!

Internet of Things!

EVERYTHING over IP

How IP Address Allocation Works!

Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

Global IPv4 Disparity !

Oops... as of Feb 1, 2011...!

Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

All Gone!

Solutions?!

IPv4 Marketplace!

Prolonging IPv4 - NAT Today!

Firewall

Internet Firewall

IP Phone

Home Firewall

Public IP NAT

Private IP Addresses

Carrier Grade NAT (a.k.a. LSN)!

The Problem?!

SIP NAT

Oh, and by the way... !

(sorry... we still have NAT-like networks with IPv6...)

And then there is... !

Challenge #1 For VoIP and UC Apps:!

How Many Digits Is That?!

See the problem?!

192.168.20.12

2001:db8:34a5:23:aa1f:12f4:9009:1234

IPv6 Address Compression!

2001:db8:34a5:0:0:0:0:1

2001:db8:34a5::1

(oh, and they aren’t case-sensitive)

IPv6 Address Compression!

127.0.0.1 ::1

0.0.0.0 ::

DNS is your friend!

Whereʼs The Nearest Port?!

IPv4 Port Numbers!

192.168.20.12:5060

IPv4 Port Numbers in IPv6?!

192.168.20.12:5060

2001:db8:34a5::1234:5060

IPv6 Port Numbers!

[2001:db8:34a5::1234]:5060

IPv6 addressing!

DNS is your friend!

Whatʼs the Address?!

IPv6 – Multiple Addresses / Interface!

192.168.20.12

2001:db8:34a5:92:21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80 (global)

fe80::21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80 (link-local)

IPv6 – Neighbor Discovery!

No More DHCP For Address Assignment (well, unless you want it)

Router Advertisements

Also Replaces ARP

IPv6 – Address Creation!

2001:db8:34a5:92:21c:a5ff:fe12:3a80

Router Advertisement

Autoconfiguration from Ethernet Address

DNS is your friend!

How Many Aʼs Do You Want With That?!

IPv4 and DNS!

example.com 3600 IN A 192.168.20.12

IPv6 and DNS!

example.com 3600 IN A 192.168.20.12

example.com 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8:34a5::1234

IPv6 DNS Fun!

What if DNS gives a AAAA....

but your system doesn’t have “real” IPv6 connectivity?

(You can retrieve AAAA records over IPv4!)

UNhappy Eyeballs!

DNS Svr

example.com A 192.168.20.12 example.com AAAA 2001:db8:34a5::1234

(a long time later...)

Happy Eyeballs!

DNS Svr

example.com A 192.168.20.12 example.com AAAA 2001:db8:34a5::1234

(sent at same time; whichever replies first wins)

What Lies Buried Within?!

How Do You Store IP Addresses?!

Memory?

Databases?

Config Files?

Room for two? (or more?)

Config Files!

“SIP” = Multiple Protocols!

SIP SDP

IPv4/IPv6 Fun!

  Communicating between IPv4 client and IPv6 client through a proxy •  Record-Route: <sip:2001:db8::1;lr>

•  Record-Route: <sip:192.0.2.1;lr>

  Mixed communication across a path of proxies

  Mixed communication: IPv6 for SIP, IPv4 for media

IPv6 and SDP!

  Only allows a single IP address per media stream (“c=“ parameter) •  c=IN IP4 192.168.20.12

•  c=IN IP6 2001:db8:34a5::1234

  Multiple proposals for additional SDP parameters •  ex. ANAT - RFC 4091 & 4092 – now deprecated by

  The IETF way forward is ICE – RFC 5245

NAT, NAT, NAT... !

STUN, TURN, ICE

(RFC 5245)

Discovery of SIP Servers!

  User agents need to find SIP servers/proxies

  DHCPv6 •  SIP Options in RFC 3319

  DNS SRV, NAPTR and AAAA Records (RFC 3263)

Other IPv6 Considerations!

  Other interfaces •  Web and management systems

•  Logging

•  APIs

  Custom SIP headers

  Multi-vendor interoperability

  SBC and firewall support for SIP over IPv6
