Preparing for Future Communications
The Internet Architecture is based on the
Internet Protocol (IP). This protocol connects
different network elements like router, servers,
hosts, computers, Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) devices, mobile phones, sensors etc. This
protocol specifies that each device should have a
unique address to communicate globally with other
devices on the Network. This address is known as
the IP Address.

Internet Protocol IP Address
IP Address The Internet Protocol (IP) specifies
that each device (router, servers, hosts,
computers, Radio Frequency Identification devices
(RFID) , mobile phones, sensors etc. )on a
network should have a unique address to
communicate globally with other devices on the
Network.
ROLE OF IP ADDRESS ?
WHO ? Identification of Parties to the Communication Transaction
WHERE ? Determine the network location of the Identified Party
HOW ? Used to support Routing Decisions

IP Address Schemes
IPV4 Address (Present)
IPV6 Address (Future)

• Total Addresses 232 4 billion
• Some addresses are reserved for special purposes
  like private networks or multicast addresses.
  However practicall only 250 million addresses
  are usable.

Estimated Addresses (millions)
20 million Broadband connections by 2010 20
2,50,000 village panchayats on high speed Broadband connectivity by 2012. 2.5
Currently more than 150 million mobile data customers and with 3G BWA services it is expected that at least 25 will migrate and need permanent IP addresses within a year 37.5
National Knowledge Network (NKN) 1500 colleges and universities, IP address to each student 5
E-governance Infrastucture centre and States 5
Financial Markets Infrastucture 5
UIDAI Project 5

65 million
Immediate Requirement within a year, which is
expected to increase rapidly

Adequate IP Addresses for the following

• Next Generation Networks (NGN)
• All types of Communication devices in 4G scenario
• For expanding the countrys e-governance
  infrastructure
• Organizational Networks, Public servers and
  websites etc.

ALL Communication Networks and Devices will need
IP Addresses

IPv4 Consumption Projection
Expected IANA Pool Depletion - October
2011 Expected RIR Pool Depletion - August 2012
Current Availability 16 blocks (of /8
addresses) 268 million for whole
world Consumption 2 blocks / month

Solution ?

• Only 18.5 million IPv4 addresses for a
  population of 1.2 billion in India.
• But the requirement for IP addresses will keep
  increasing with new services, new networks, new
  applications.
• Telecommunications will be largest consumer of IP
  addresses in coming years (Broadband, 3G, NGN,
  4G, LTE etc.)
• IPv4 is a diminishing resource and is very
  costly compared to IPv6 right now and will be
  more costlier with passage of time
• IPv6 is the only solution !

12
13
How IPv6 will help ?

• Large Address Space 128-bit addressing scheme,
  practically unlimited addresses to connect every
  possible device
• End to End Communication Useful from Security
  angle since every device on the network can be
  traced, not possible in IPv4 due to NAT (Network
  Address Translation)
• Improved Security using IPSec Mandatory
  implementation in IPv6 ensures that all
  transmission is secured
• Support for 4G, NGN IP is mandatory in 4G
  technologies like LTE and NGN implementations, so
  IPv6 is only option
• IP Mobility Cellular telephony like features in
  IP networks is possible new Greenfield
  Applications possible

14
Initiatives by Government
Various issues on IPv6 were deliberated at
different levels in DoT, DIT,TRAI and other
Stakeholders during previous years based on which
Telecom Commission in 2009 entrusted TEC for IPv6
related activities in addition to others

Based on various IPv6 activities and discussions
with stakeholders a need for a suitable policy
was felt for timely implementation of IPv6 in the
country. Accordingly TEC has prepared the
National IPv6 Deployment Roadmap, which has
been approved by the Government and has been
released by Honble MOCIT in July 2010.

• Actionable Points of National IPv6 Deployment
  Roadmap
• All major Service providers (having at least
  10,000 internet customers or STM-1 bandwidth)
  will target to handle IPv6 traffic and offer IPv6
  services by December-2011.
• All central and State government ministries and
  departments, including its PSUs, shall start
  using IPv6 services by March-2012.
• Formation of the IPv6 Task Force with the
  proposed structure.
