Ltd Mr. Arvind Mathur, Strategic & Technology Officer, India & South Asia, Cisco
Mr. R.M. Agarwal, DDG(NT) welcomed all and shared the status of the IPv6 adoption in the country. He
also touched upon the challenges being faced in terms of readiness of content, end user devices and skill development.
Shri R. Chandrashekhar, Secretary, DoT compared the IPv6 deployment requirement from flood
situation stating that it’s high time IPv6 deployment is planned and implemented. Otherwise organizations will be left with hardly any time and options and business will be impacted adversely. He gave a brief idea of IPv6 Roadmap Version 2 and emphasized on the training requirements.
Shri J K Roy, Member T, in his opening remarks emphasizing the need for IPv6 and the Government
initiatives. He has given brief on shortage of IPv4 addresses and urgency to move towards IPv6 as NATting has its own bottleneck. He touched upon the progress of IPv6 Roadmap.
Mr. Latif Ladid, World IPv6 Forum, gave the global perspective on IPv6 vision, opportunities, benefits
and progression. He emphasised that with the exhaustion of IPv4 IP addresses at global level, there is urgency to look for continuous expansion of Internet. Using NATting has its own limitations. Thus IPv6 deployment needs to be expedited.
Mr. Sanjaya, Sr. Director, APNIC presented comparative IPv6 progression continent wise in terms of IPv6 addresses allocations to ISP’s & End-users, IPv6 configurations etc. Indian Operators Networks readiness, Devices Readiness was also presented. It was informed with examples that IPv6 is more efficient as it takes lesser time and lesser HOP’s to reach destination. Overall IPv6 deployment is happening and it works.
Shri J Satyanarayan, Secretary, DeitY gave the overall perspective of IPv6 deployment in Department of
IT covering SWAN, State Data Centers and NIC status. He also covered future plan of IPv6 from DoE&IT perspective.
It has emerged that in India, Government is the major driver in IPv6 rollout. It is unique proposition across globe. The session was attended by Media persons also and was well appreciated. Coverage has come in electronic Media also and was comments by Mr. Vint Cerf, supposed to be the father of Internet.

He concluded by sharing the next steps regarding National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap V-‐II, Centre of Innovation and IPv6 Certification program.
Mr. Tsuyoshi Kinoshita, MD, Cisco Systems, Japan shared the global status of IPv6 adoption including
India. It was made clear from the shared statistics that the world including India is well on its way to the IPv6 Transition. He also briefly touched upon internet of things which would result in improved quality of life, services and experience.
Prof. Dr. Sureswaran Ramadass, Director NAv6, Malaysia, enlightened the audience with the fact that
appropriate term should be "Expansion" and not "Migration" as far as IPv6 transition is concerned. This is because IPv4 is not removed during the deployment of IPv6. He also emphasized the importance of IPv6 transition in the financial ecosystem by sharing his experience with Singapore.

DoT participation in APNIC, Singapore Sh. RM Agarwal, DDG (NT), DoT made presentations in public policy advisory committee (PPAC) and in Asia Pacific IPv6 Task Force(APIPv6 TF) in 35th APNIC meeting in Singapore. PPAC is a newly created working group in APNIC. The mandate of this working group is to advise the APNIC on internet public policy related issues based on the best practices being adopted by the different stakeholders including Government in the APNIC region. The IPv6 deployment Roadmap v-‐II was presented and discussed.
Number of countries including Japan, Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam and China have shown interest in our policy guidelines and raised many queries about its evolution and implementation status in the country and appreciative of the leading role being played by Government of India in proliferating and implementation of IPv6 in India and they were sure this would set an example for other Governments of different countries to follow.
IPv6 awareness workshops for decision makers IPv6 W orkshop for officers of DFS was held on 8/10/2012 IPv6 Seminar/ Workshop for ITS/ TEC officers was held on 5/11/2012 IPv6 Seminar/ Workshop at Shimla by TERM Cell was held on 11/01/2013 IPv6 Seminar/ Workshop at A&N by BSNL was held on 18/10/2012 IPv6 Seminar/ Workshop at Jaipur by TERM Cell held on 21/3/2013
NIXI-‐NIR-‐IRINN Launch
NIXI is domestic Internet Exchange of India. The government of India delegated the operations of INRegistry to NIXI in 2004. NIXI was recognized by APNIC in March 2012 to become NIR for the country. The NIR has been named as Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers. The same has been formally launched by Honorable Minister of Communication and IT, Sh. Kapil Sibbal on 7.3.2013. With these initiatives, individuals and organizations can get IPv6 addresses and India specific domain names in India and with Indian currency with least hassles.
