Operational Challenges into the future
1 like413 views
In March 2015, Telstra outlined ongoing deployment of IPv6 in mobile networks, emphasizing the necessity for collaboration among carriers to tackle common challenges. The document highlights regulations like IPv4 address exhaustion and the need for a transition to IPv6, with various deployment strategies discussed. It concludes that while some operators have successfully launched IPv6 services, each must determine its own approach to implementation.

- 3. Mobiles IPv6 Networks in 2015 • Deployment is progressing globally and we are now seeing some consumer networks with IPv6 deployed. • Telstra has been testing for some time, and is also planning to launch IPv6 to consumers shortly. • There are common issues that have been identified which require discussion and consideration with other carriers to ensure the growth of IPv6 usage continues in Mobile environments. • Why is it important to move to IPv6?

- 4. Mobiles IPv6 Networks in 2015 • Public and Private IPv4 address runout • Regionalisation and NAT444? • IPv6 Single Stack / Dual Stack? • Operational and Design complexity • Consolidated networks • Future-Proof • How will you ensure your network is ready for future technologies without IPv6?

- 5. Mobiles IPv6 Networks in 2015 Each carrier has their own unique requirements for deploying IPv6 • Dual Stack • Single Stack • NAT64 + DNS64 + 464XLAT • Hybrid • NAT64 + DNS-HD + 464XLAT Telstra Unrestricted | Operational Challenges into the Future | Sunny Yeung | 09/2015 | 5
- 6. Questions for the Future • Continued 464XLAT support on UEs • Roadmap to transition to Single Stack for Dual-Stack only UEs • CDN native IPv6 local support • NAT64 ALG improvements • Does your PLAT understand a CLAT translation is occurring? • International Roaming for Data will be stuck on IPv4 • IMS/VoLTE supports Dual-Stack. But why would you use IPv4 addresses? • What about IMS/VoLTE RAVEL Telstra Unrestricted | Operational Challenges into the Future | Sunny Yeung | 09/2015 | 6
- 7. Disruptive Technologies? Will these change the way you think about how important IPv6 is or how your network architecture will change? • Software Defined Networking • Network Function Virtualization • Virtual Evolved Packet Core • Internet of Things Telstra Unrestricted | Operational Challenges into the Future | Sunny Yeung | 09/2015 | 7
- 8. Conclusion There are operators who have launched commercial IPv6 services already. Each operator must decide their own path – there is no single universal answer on how this can be done. ? Telstra Unrestricted | Operational Challenges into the Future | Sunny Yeung | 09/2015 | 8
