Hi Johnson, Thanks for your feedback. Sure, I think we can add more considerations and try to find more data about the IPv6 deployment for the applications. Regards, Giuseppe From: hsyu [mailto:hsyu@cfiec.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 8:52 AM To: Giuseppe Fioccola <giuseppe.fioccola@huawei.com>; Paolo Volpato <paolo.volpato@huawei.com> Cc: v6ops@ietf.org Subject: Re: [v6ops] Comments on draft-vf-v6ops-ipv6-deployment Hi,Giuseppe, Paolo, Draft-vf-v6ops-ipv6-deployment is a good proposal, which will help promote the development of IPv6 in the world. After carefully reading the content of draft, I have a suggestion. Draft can also explain the current status of IPv6 deployment from an application perspective, because applications are the ultimate driving force for the development of IPv6. The applications I am talking about include video, gaming, social networking, finance, education, and so on.

Looking at your first point, we agree that it is hard to say if current 5G deployments get/require more from IPv6 rather than IPv4. Maybe operators can say more on this. Concerning the draft, our idea is to relax a bit the statement on the role of 5G as an incentive (e.g. we could say something as "a possible incentive", in particular for the coming deployments). Your other point on the involvement of regulators is quite interesting. Probably a joint effort (I mean operators, vendors, research organizations, etc.) may draw their attention to the work of IETF. For example, on our side we have submitted a proposal for a speech at the next RIPE meeting (IPv6 WG). Not sure about the audience, hopefully some National regulators will attend. If so, we'll try to engage them to have a first feedback. I wonder whether a national telecommunications regulator from Italy goes to RIPE meetings? I will ask locally whether the national telecommunications regulator in France (ARCEP) goes to RIPE meetings. Alex Anyway we are open to contribute to any further suggestions from the WG.

Le 17/03/2021 à 11:09, Paolo Volpato a écrit : Dear WG, Following on Ron’s message, we have listed here the comments shared during the discussion of draft-vf-v6ops-ipv6-deployment at the past v6ops session, trying to address them. Please feel free to comment on; any feedback could be useful to add further considerations in the draft. Alexandre**wondered if** 5G can be seen as a business motivator for IPv6, posing doubts on that. Actually, we too think 5G by itself is not the reason for that. From an application perspective, 5G can be seen as a framework to enable new apps or services (or even more users to use them) that may require more addresses. In this sense 5G could help the transition to an IPv6-only network. In a sense I agree with you. I think 5G deployments that can be planned in a very near term feature great opportunities to add requirements for more IPv6. 'More' IPv6 means to have already the known IPv6 in the smartphone and maybe IPv6 in the GTP, maybe a /63 instead of /64, etc. Existing 5G deployments - I am not sure they do more IPv6 than 4G deployments. Actually I do not know. (this is speculation: It might be (from some testing a few monts ago) that some 5G deployment does more IPv4 in the smartphone than IPv6, possibly with some IPv4 publicly routable addresses that they kept at hand for times to come. It might be that this existing 5G deployment considers 5G to be something very new and high performing connections that only very expensive subscriptions can afford it (e.g. maybe at around 70 euros/month, 'un-throttled' bandwidth if I can say so). In the past it was very common that several operators gave IPv4 publicly routable addresses for the expensive subscriptions, and IPv4 NAT for the less expensive, 'normal' subscriptions at around 20Eur/month. On another hand, it might also be that, from an IP addressing perspective, 5G connections will be precisely like existing 4G and 3G connections; in that sense they will feature the same IPv6 on the smartphone that 4G and 3G do. This might change as we speak, because precisely these days new 5G deployments are announced where I live (Free and Orange), but I dont know what they look like. End of speculation.) Michael noted that people active in the enterprise area were not present. True: Nalini contributed greatly to version 01 of the draft while we worked more on other sections in version 02. We agree that more on enterprise can be shared. ** Jordi provided an explanation for the unadvertised IPv4 addresses. A reason why we think more investigation is needed is that the assumptions may all be true but don’t fully explain the trend. In case you missed the pointer, here you find the useful info: https://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2021-01/addr2020.html <https://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2021-01/addr2020.html> <https://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2021-01/addr2020.html <https://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2021-01/addr2020.html>>. The number of unadvertised addresses at Dec 2020 is around 50 /8 and it has grown in the last 3 years. Even considering the litigations, transfers, quarantine, etc. it is hard to achieve that peak and, what it is worse, doesn’t explain the constant growth. A large bunch of addresses in quarantine, when released, should cause some fluctuations, but there are no clear signs for that. Alexandre also observed the necessity to have a check tool to verify that IPv6 is really deployed when requested. Fully agree. Today it is hard to think of that but maybe in a near future that could be possible. Is there any way to involve National regulators in our work? I think yes, there might be some ways. From my part, when I talk to my regulator I understand that they might not have enough ressources to get involved directly at IETF, but I feel that they do monitor these discussions and might get help from contributors. I think that typical regulator activity is very much 'rooted' on spectrum-, market-equality reasoning around a public good (like when Baby Bells were born), and less in IP addressing, which is new, even though it is as much a public good as air we breathe is. Also 'net neutrality', and 'services', are attractive domains for regulators, if I understand correctly. The questions I had to regulator about IPv6 and 5G licenses are this: - it's great that 'IPv6' is a pre-condition to granting a 5G license, but why only and too-shortly-said 'compatible to IPv6'? Why is that 2-line paragraph so short when there are so many IETF RFCs that could be referred to tell what is expected from cellular networks with respect to IPv6? (the 2-liner in question is excerpt from the "19-1386.pdf" publicly available and says: "The owner is required to make her mobile network compatible with the IPv6 protocol starting December 31st, 2020", my translation of the original in French: "Le titulaire est tenu de rendre son réseau mobile compatible avec le protocole IPv6 à compter du 31 décembre 2020." ) With such a short requirement I can imagine very well an operator who might put some IPv6 features in some parts of the network and still leave the smartphone on IPv4-only. Not from a bad intention, but from other strong requirements from other parts than from regulator (e.g. hardware manufacturers, software writers, and others). - what is the means to verify that an 'IPv6' pre-condition is respected after having granted a 5G license to an operator? Currently I have to work very hard to identify whether this or that 5G deployment tests 'what is my IPv6 address' a 'yes' on google while the '5G' turned on near the 5 bars of signal quality on smartphone screen. This is an end user tool, but there should be something more authoritative than that. For example, where I live there is a site called cartoradio.fr which can offer all the data necessary to tell whether some area has 5G or not; maybe it should add 'IPv6' to it. Or maybe some other check tool than cartoradio. Such a verification tool is important, because it is known that in the rush for fast deployment other pre-conditions have not been (or have been less) respected, for example when checking how much population is covered, or how much area, after a license is granted, etc. Alex Jen commented that having IPv6-only clients doesn’t imply a reason to deploy IPv6 (we assume in the underlay). Indeed; let us just echo what Fred said at the beginning of the session about pushing IPv6 more in the overlay. Probably we have achieved, for the first time, the end-to-end availability of IPv6 content. We have IPv6 devices at the user’s side and IPv6-based content provided by content providers often based on an IPv6 DC infrastructure. This overlay is where services are offered and where the IPv6 customer base can be expanded. In between we have the networks (the underlay). A good move could be to turn them IPv6(-capable) but even if they stay IPv4, they can survive (even if it is not the optimal choice). The overlay offers more possibilities. Any further comment from the list is very much appreciated.
