Slide12: 

Located in Brittany (West of France) For one year (2005) Organization is evolving to take into account commercial activities and the creation of a new R&D Cluster IPv6 Skill Center With the support of :

Slide13: 

A bipolar organization www.point6.net Goal: to promote IPv6 towards SME GET/ENST Bretagne (L. Toutain) IPv6 expertise support : training, software & system design INRIA/IRISA – Armor (C. Viho) IPv6 protocols conformance and interoperability tests European Lab working on the IPv6 Ready Logo Program  Provides support to companies wanted to test the conformance of IPv6 products

Slide14: 

www.point6.net available and opened to any company (industrials, small and medium companies, very small companies) and any public organization in Europe willing to know more about IPv6 or access our IPv6 tests platform CONTACTS for test aspects: César Viho, Annie Floch info@point6.net http://www.point6.net/ Point6’s open call

Slide15: 

Task Force meeting every quarter IPv6 is available on the regional VIKMAN network Universities, schools, public sector Can be be used by companies if R&D purpose Creation of an IPv6 portal to support regional actions and provide pointers on national/international sites Region eases the use of IPv6 ready products Region can fund innovative IPv6 projects/developments Normandy Task Force

Public policy: 

Public policy

IPv6 in Public sectors: 

IPv6 in Public sectors We have the .fr DNSv6 That means .gouv.fr is v6 That means .defense.gouv.fr is v6 That means all agencies can move!! We have IPv6 NREN & some RREN RENATER 17 RREN (regional & Metropolitan) 63 university networks connected natively More than 100 /48 allocated Ministry of Defense defined procurement rules National Backbone is upgrading with v6 V6 addressing plan defined

Promoting IPv6 in Universities: 

Promoting IPv6 in Universities Ministry of Research finances a project named ADIRE to promote the deployment of IPv6, to define general rules to apply, and to experiment mobility services. 11 Universities are involved

ADIRE to promote Method and rules:

Deployment projects: 

Deployment projects

Too limited number of projects: 

Too limited number of projects More and more questions More and more training and tests But IPv6 is NOT YET a priority for many companies!!!! Among the actors: France Telecom (FT) Gonfreville-Lorcher (Metropolitan Net)

FT IPv6 deployment: 

FT IPv6 deployment Commercial IP wordwide network (OpenTransit): 50 POPs worldwide are Dual Stack since June 2005 Nationwide IPv6 broadband access experiment launched by France Telecom/Wanadoo to its Internet clients in June 2005 IPv6 connectivity based on 3 technics:Teredo, Tunnel Broker and ADSL+ A P2P application "Wanadoo Responsive" dedicated to social network services sector http://www.ipv6.wanadoo.fr FT was recently assigned a larger IPv6 prefix (/19) in December 30th,2005

Gonfreville-Lorcher deployment: 

Gonfreville-Lorcher deployment On going experiment: Use of TabletPCs at school as well as library or at home FTTH IPv6 infra: 100 Mb/s at home IPv4 and IPv6 City service on environmental & industrial risks Service starts end 2006

Lesson learnt: 

Lesson learnt

Slide25: 

Building a new infra is difficult !! Why? Do I need it? When? What’s the risk? Can I avoid? What the cost? What is the Business model?

Broadband explosion but no v6!: 

The box phenomena! Broadband explosion but no v6! Broadband access: 7,9 millions, Q2 2005 Fix lines : 35,3 millions, Q2 2005 Mobiles : 45 millions, Q2 2005 Mobile Internet users: 10,7 millions ?

Slide27: 

We are still on the bottom of the curb IPv6 is still an early stage technology We don’t have any commercial offer from ISPs Only few companies have IPv6 ready products But: We have v6 in more and more public infrastructure Few consultant firms start to provide expertise Large companies are defining plans to have products or services in 2008

My comments : 

My comments Only big players can accelerate the global deployment process As we have v6 in public networks, we need to work on new applications using this infrastructure E-plublic-services (e-health, e-care, e-safe…) We have to target vertical applications where v6 seems to be an obvious solution Defense, Transportation systems… And M2M We have to address the emerging market of the Mobile Internet

My Questions?: 

My Questions? How to accelerate the creation of new innovative projects? Country/ region level New product or service New startup taking advantage of v6 How to create a business interest on v6?
