[AusNOG] IPv6

Sun Mar 3 21:56:58 EST 2013

Skeeve, yes I will wear the engineer badge with pride - thank you.  But as to forward thinking that was why I pointing out the next phase of IPvX needs to look to compatibility for rapid adoption .  As I said I liked your idea and see merits in that approached.  But again I want us all to learn from past history.

Take the GEO location, yes I said I can see problems, but thinking the right way we can indeed work out a solution, this is why I raised it, so smarter people then me can think about it and solve it (happy to help in any way I can).

The other problem is IPv6 may be too far deployed to be raising the mobile IP concept and adjusting the existing allocation.

I do agree that today's tech will not be up to the task and a rethink is required (new routing protocol/s) but this is a great discussion for IPvX - forward thinking once more.

The networking industry is focus on SDN and Openflow at this time, maybe once that is sorted the next version of IP (or even a totally new yet backwards transport can be looked at)

+1 for SMTP change - well overdue yet I have no answers here on how to fix that one.

Michael,

With all respect, you are a typical engineer (I've heard a good one), but you are only thinking about today and known quantities.

Think about tomorrow.  My idea wouldn't work with todays technology.  But if you look at a future... perhaps the next version of BGP or its replacement, and technologies where you could update your dynamic location.  It could be used for all sorts of purposes, such as emergency+voip, and so on.

Think how far we've come in 10 years... think what we will be doing in 5 years or 10.  I see different protocols facilitating all these issues.

First it starts with an idea... and ideal... then we need to figure out how to make it happen.  The problem with the internet is that there are so many different (and valid) opinions as we're all coming from different perspectives and beliefs.....  I think it's going to be a long battle to get the great minds of this Internet to agree on something we all will adopt.... but it is possible.

For example... SMTP NEEDS to change... in some way to deal with all this spam and crap... but getting people to agree just on how that should be has been a battle going on for years... and there is no end in sight.

Think of tomorrow, dream it up, write RFC's... get the support of vendors and amazing engnineers, the IEEE, IETF, etc.. and things will happen... just in a long time.

Skeeve, I like this idea but I see a possible problem.   You will break GEO location unless you go down that same path as breaking the main address space by country first - this can lead to waste (or do it multiple time to get a DB of GEO based address ranges every x time to divide it).

Yes I know the range is HUGE for IPv6 but... thinking now save pain later.  Maybe unlike v4 to v6 next time we to vX we will make it backwards compatible.... As this is the sticking point for IPv6 - there is no native IPv4 to IPv6 or vice versa thus we have DS Lite, 6RD, Map-E/T and many others.

I don't agree.  DNS serves a different function entirely.

I read this when it came out.  While I understand exactly what Jeff is saying, I personally don't agree with his approach.

I personally would like to see something else happen.... and I know this is far out, but here goes.

I'd like to see individuals to be able to get a /48 themselves... for it to be 'theirs' that they can take to ANY ISP they like (or more than one) and get announced.  They could keep it for life in theory.

I see that it could be like a cell/mobile number... port it, move it around, use it on your cell phone or anything you like... imaging wandering into a cell store and saying 'use this /64 please for my handset'.

There is enough /48's to do that for the entire planet, squillions of times over.... so why not?  Well, obviously BGP technology would have to change just a little bit ;-)  But I am sure it could be done.

THEN, ISPs wouldn't even need that much space themselves if every business and individual had their own space for all their own devices ;-)

BOOM! Mind blown.

Correct.

A /22 of IPv4 is equal to a /32 IPv6.  So you get up to a /32 of v6 for no extra fee.

BUT... If you are a business, expect only a /48...  If you are a Service Provider, you can probably justify a /32.

but seriously... a /48 is a TONNE for a business.  The only reason you'd want more is if you have multiple networks in geographic  disparate locations with different upstreams.
...

Jeff Doyle begged to differ on this a little while back:

http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/logic-bad-ipv6-address-management

TL;DR version:

  *   Businesses: allocate a /48 for every building, no matter how small.
  *   ISPs: allocate a /48 for every residential customer.
  *   Consistency is much more important than waste management.
