• How to transition?

– Infrastructure first

– Applications first

• Utilize Agency’s Enterprise Architecture Process (Enterprise Focus)

– Track progress

– Show value

• How to pay for it?

– Existing budget

– Business case by specific program

• The Real Question: Why Transition to IPv6 in the First Place?

– Real Answer – It is inevitable!

– Other Answers (Money/Capability/Security)

• Other Big Question – Why transition now?

– Government requires a much longer timeframe than industry to integrate new technology

– Waiting will have a negative impacts on Government & industry

– No more time

June 2008 IPv6

Milestone Results • OMB Public Statement

– All major USG agencies reported that they successfully demonstrated IPv6 capabilities on their network backbones.

• Reality

– Most agencies turned IPv6 on

– Performed basic network tests (ping, trace routes, etc.)

– Turned IPv6 off

• Bottom Line - IPv6 not operationally ready

– C&A and security

– Operational procedures

– Training

– Interoperability

– Etc.

• Is this Success?

– Yes!

– First, critical step in the overall transition

FAR Language

• 11.002(g)

Unless the agency Chief Information Officer waives the requirement, when acquiring information technology using Internet Protocol, the requirements documents must include reference to the appropriate technical capabilities defined in the USGv6 Profile (NIST Special Publication 500-267) and the

corresponding declarations of conformance defined in the USGv6 Test Program. The applicability of IPv6 to agency networks, infrastructure, and applications

specific to individual acquisitions will be in accordance with the agency's Enterprise Architecture (see OMB Memorandum M-05-22 dated August 2, 2005).

The New OMB

IPv6 Memo

Why • Enable key Federal IT modernization initiatives:

– Cloud Computing

– Broadband

– SmartGrid

• Reduce complexity and increase transparency:

– Eliminate NAT technologies;

• Enable ubiquitous security services:

– End-to-end network communications

– Foundation for securing future Federal IT

systems

• Enable the Internet to continue to operate

efficiently:

– Integrated & well-architected networking

platform

– Accommodate future expansion of Internet-

based services

What & When • Procurements:

– Comply with FAR requirements

– Use of the USGv6 Profile and Test Program

– Ensure completeness/quality of IPv6

capabilities

– Now

• Designate an IPv6 Transition Manager:

– October 30, 2010

• External Services:

– Public/external facing servers and services

– e.g. web, email, DNS, ISP services, etc

– Operationally use native IPv6

– End of FY 2012 (September 30, 2012)

• Internal Services:

– Applications that communicate with public

Internet servers

– Supporting enterprise networks

– Operationally use native IPv6

– End of FY 2014 (September 30 2014)

Lessons Learned • Start Early

– Many potential delays (as with any program)

– Will take longer than initially planned

• Be Inclusive

– Impacts entire organization

– Less issues if other groups brought in during the beginning

– Better understanding of potential impacts

• Executive Level Buy-In

– Educate executives on program and benefits (in their terms not techno-speak)

– Support via policy & memorandum

– Tie into business case & budget activities

• Training

– Do not limit to technical groups

– Educate as many across the agency as possible

– Include the program benefits in the training

• Test – Test – Test

– Absolute requirements for operational deployment

– More testing partners (internal & external) the better

– Include multiple carriers if possible

– Focus on leveraging IPv6 capabilities and solutions

– Internal demand for IPv6 already identified from VA field organizations

• Establish Permanent Demonstration Network

– Leverage VA Internet2 Program

– In conjunction with other agencies & academia

– Active (and ongoing) testing and demonstration of IPv6 and other technologies and applications
