IP Mobility

No true IP mobility is available L2TP provides limited IP mobility within the

boundaries of the specific access network Only MobileIP technology can provide true

IP mobility to end users

Broadband/3G Integration

Unified infrastructure- No interworking or gateways

No addressing problems- Forecasted volumes easy to cater for

Leverage application development for maximum returns

MobileIPv6 Benefits

MobileIPv6 + Broadband ‘Direct’ model is a powerful enabler of IP mobility

End-users running services are continuously on-line and contactable while roaming between broadband network access segments


MobileIPv6 and Broadband

Without MobileIP, connections from UserA to UserB have to go via ISP A and ISP B

Inefficient routing Poor scalability Multiple single-points-

of-failure

IPv6 Transition & Interworking

Transition- how we migrate to IPv6

Interworking- how we continue to operate with IPv4

New networks have no transition requirements

Transition requirements for core networks met through routine upgrades


IPv6 Interworking

Interworking multimedia domains- Enabling SIP application interworking- Deploy proxies at the network boundary

Interworking network core- Dependent on type of address allocation to end-

user- Translation is required where user has no IPv4

address

Conclusions

Provide a Broadband ‘Direct’ architecture- No ISP lock-in- Optimises bandwidth consumption- Greater flexibility for end-users

Build a network that will scale- Use IPv6

Allow for ‘always-on’ P2P applications- Requires globally routable addressing- Requires IPv6


Conclusions

Prepare for 3G multimedia convergence- 3G IP multimedia *will* run IPv6 only

IPv6 provides many advantages for broadband

- Autoconfiguration, mobility, security…

Transition and migration issues must be overcome
