Regulations
 Digital Agenda for Europe
 Decision Council of Ministers (June 22, 2012)
 Implementation of IPv6 within 2 years
 Focus on G2C / G2B services

 Official note to federal administrations
 Published in “Staatsblad” (October 26, 2012)
 Each FPS, ... should appoint an IPv6 lead
 Each FPS, … is responsible for their own IPv6 roll-out


The approach
 People
 Create awareness
 Human communication

 Product and services
 Ask all our suppliers if their products support IPv6 ...
 … and if not: when will this be implemented ?
 Gradually replace IPv4-only products and services

 Patience
 Report (and sometimes fix) issues

Creating awareness
 2nd round of Belnet workshops
 (federal) network engineers
 End of January 2013
 Theory + practice

 IPv6 newsletter
 ICT managers and FedMAN contacts
 Regions / Communities / CBSS

 Workgroup
 FPS Economy, Fedict, FCCU, ...

The big picture

Applications
Security and External

Platforms

Network


FedMAN and IPv6 connectivity
 FedMAN
 Operated by Belnet
 IPv6-ready since end 2009

 /48 for each FedMAN customer
 IPv6 traffic on explicit request (test or production)
 In use: Fedict, SPF Int.Affairs, Court of Audit, FCCU
 Soon: SPF Economy


Example IPv6 clause public tenders
 IPv6 must be available immediately
 Products and services

 IPv6 must be on par with IPv4
 Performance
 Functionality
 Availability
 Security
 Support


Questionnaire
 Sent to suppliers
 Products and services

 Are your products / services IPv6 ready ?
 Today ?
 Upgrade required ? When ?

 If not, provide a plan towards IPv6
 Some surprises
 Positive and negative


Patience

Currently testing
 Golden rule: do not touch production IPv4
 Just add “something” in front of IPv4 infrastructure
 New environment: consider Dual Stack

 Reverse proxy
 Easy for HTTP

 NAT64


Pay attention to ...
 Tablets and smartphones
 DHCPv6 support ?

 Firewalls / load balancers
 IPv6 support in hardware (performance) ?

 Peering disputes
 If any, your ISP may block some IPv6 traffic

 External services
 E-payment, anti-spam, webstats, … ?


If you want an IPv6-only data center
 Databases
 Connectors / clusters may not be certified in IPv6

 Management tools
 Monitoring / TAPs
 Storage / backup systems

 Cloud offerings
 Do they support IPv6 ?
