Agenda

IP Global IPv6 Service

ClaraClaraRNP IPv6 Backbone

• The project was initiated at February of 2001, and entered in operation on November of that same year

• Goal: Provision of native IPv6 connectivity to our customers

• It uses the same network infrastructure used in the IPv4 service (production service)

• IPv6 addresses of production, allocated by the LACNIC (prefix 2001:12F0::/32)

• Currently it connects seven Brazilian states plus our federal capital (Brasilia)

• Routers with dual-stack: same equipment used in the production service

• IPv6 over PoS, IPv6 over ATM and tunnels (IPv6/IPv4)

• RIPng is the protocol of internal rounting

• BGP4+ for external routing

• Cisco routers with IOS images 12.2(14)S

• In use since 2002

• Production addressing since 2003. Currently uses native IPv6 on backbone with native peering to Abilene

• Multicast: participates in M6bone through U. of Guadalajara, Mexico, and uses of v/c tools (VIC/RAT/SDR) of RENATER3

• Experimental G-REUNA testbed maintains one lambda for IPv6
