IPv6 Service in LA&C CCIRN 2004 Cairns, Australia July 2004 Michael Stanton CLARA Technical Committee RNP- Brazil (based on material provided by Marcel R. Faria <[email protected]>) IP Global IPv6 Service Agenda RNP IPv6 Backbone Peerings Participants Other IPv6 activities in LA&C IP Global IPv6 Service RNP IPv6 Backbone • The project was initiated at February of 2001, and entered in operation on November of that same year • Goal: Provision of native IPv6 connectivity to our customers • It uses the same network infrastructure used in the IPv4 service (production service) • IPv6 addresses of production, allocated by the LACNIC (prefix 2001:12F0::/32) • Currently it connects seven Brazilian states plus our federal capital (Brasilia) IP Global IPv6 Service RNP IPv6 Backbone IP Global IPv6 Service RNP IPv6 Backbone • Routers with dual-stack: same equipment used in the production service • IPv6 over PoS, IPv6 over ATM and tunnels (IPv6/IPv4) • RIPng is the protocol of internal rounting • BGP4+ for external routing • Cisco routers with IOS images 12.2(14)S IP Global IPv6 Service Peerings • Currently we have peering with eight other networks: •Abilene / Internet 2 (native) University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development •AMPath (native) The AmericasPATH Network •Renater (tunnel) Reseau National de telecommunications pour la Technologie descr: l'Enseignement et la Recherche •RCCN (tunnel) RCCN - Rede da Comunidade Cientifica Nacional / Portugal IP Global IPv6 Service Peerings •ESnet (tunnel) The Energy Sciences Network •NTT Com / Verio (tunnel) NTT Communications USA •Telefônica Brazil (native) Telefônica Empresas SA •Comite Gestor da Internet no Brasil (native) IP Global IPv6 Service Participants Currently five education and research institutions participate in the project: •CBPF - Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas: IPv6 portal http://mesonpi.cat.cbpf.br/ipv6/ •UFRJ - Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro – Universidade Federal do Paraná : IPv6 portal http://www.pop-pr.rnp.br •UFPR •UFRGS - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul : IPv6 NAP Andrey Vedana Andreoli <[email protected]> •UFSC - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina IP Global IPv6 Service Other IPv6 activities in LA&C region The Mexican NREN, CUDI, organised a IPv6 workshop in February 2004, with contributions from other LA&C countries: Website at www.cudi.edu.mx/aplicaciones/dias_cudi/dia_cudi27_02_04.html Contributions from Argentina • Brazil • Chile • Mexico • IP Global IPv6 Service Other IPv6 activities in LA&C region Argentina (www.cudi.edu.mx/aplicaciones/dias_cudi/27_02_04/IPv6_RETINA.pdf) . First activities in 2002 . Production addressing since 2003 . Native IPv6 partially implemented in national backbone . Peering with Abilene . Application development at two universities IP Global IPv6 Service Other IPv6 activities in LA&C region Chile (www.cudi.edu.mx/aplicaciones/dias_cudi/27_02_04/IPv6_REUNA.pdf) • In use since 2002 Production addressing since 2003. Currently uses native IPv6 on backbone with native peering to Abilene • Multicast: participates in M6bone through U. of Guadalajara, Mexico, and uses of v/c tools (VIC/RAT/SDR) of RENATER3 • • Experimental G-REUNA testbed maintains one lambda for IPv6 IP Global IPv6 Service Other IPv6 activities in LA&C region Mexico (www.cudi.edu.mx/aplicaciones/dias_cudi/27_02_04/Introduccion.pdf) • CUDI (NREN) since 2000 • Native connectivity on part of backbone • Native and tunneled peering with Abilene • M6bone participation through U of Guadalajara IP Global IPv6 Service Bibliography IPv6 at RETINA - Argentina http://www.ipv6.retina.ar • • • • IPv6 at RNP - Brazil http://www.rnp.br/en/ipv6/ IPv6 at CUDI - Mexico http://www.ipv6.unam.mx LACNIC (regional IP registry) http://www.lacnic.net Contact: Marcel R.
