The world is moving to IPv 6. . fast

Drastic measures by USG Upgrade public/external facing servers and services (e. g. web, email, DNS, ISP services, etc) to operationally use native IPv 6 by the end of FY 2012; Upgrade internal client applications that communicate with public Internet servers and supporting enterprise networks to operationally use native IPv 6 by the end of FY 2014; Designate an IPv 6 Transition Manager and submit their name, title, and contact information to IPv 6@omb. eop. gov by October 30, 2010. The IPv 6 Transition Manager is to serve as the person responsible for leading the agency’s IPv 6 transition activities, and liaison with the wider Federal IPv 6 effort as necessary; and, Ensure agency procurements of networked IT comply with FAR requirements for use of the USGv 6 Profile and Test Program for the completeness and quality of their IPv 6 capabilities.

Drastic measures by USG Release Date: February 2010 The purpose of Guidelines for the Secure Deployment of IPv 6 is to provide information security guidance to organizations that are planning to deploy IPv 6 technologies or are simply seeking a better understanding of IPv 6. The scope of this document encompasses the IPv 6 protocol and related protocol specifications. IPv 6 -related security considerations are discussed with emphasis on deployment-related security concerns. The document also includes general guidance on secure IPv 6 deployment and integration planning.

Malaysia’s Deployment Timeline • Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications (MEWC @ KTAK)1 had initiated the establishment of National IPv 6 Council in 2004 • NAv 6 Centre was also established in 2005 as experts to advice and guide the government. • The National IPv 6 Council of Malaysia has stated 2: 1 2 – Now know as Ministry Of Information, Communication And Culture (MICC) @ (KPKK) – The timeline has been revised by the Government in 2010

NAv 6’s roles as stated in the Roadmap • To act as technical advisor to all stakeholders. • To coordinate all IPv 6 R&D nation-wide so that pertinent issues are addressed and that there is no R&D overlap resulting in inefficient use of funding. • To provide IPv 6 training and ‘train the trainers’ so that knowledge and expertise can proliferate. • To organize conferences, research meetings and workshops for Malaysian researchers, facilitating the sharing and dissemination of knowledge. • To prepare detailed plans, strategies and guidelines as a result of this Roadmap to enable implementation at all levels.

NAv 6’s roles as stated in the Roadmap (cont. ) • To work with MOSTI with respect to R&D funding and work with MOHE with respect to human resource requirements. • To assist MAMPU by providing technical guidelines appropriate for government agencies for the transition to IPv 6. • To assist MEWC in IPv 6 rollout for the nation. • To assist government agencies and private organizations in migrating to IPv 6.

Malaysia’s IPv 6 initiative: IPv 6 Pilot Projects • • The Pilot Project was introduced in accordance with the National IPv 6 Council’s vision of an IPv 6 -enabled Malaysia by 2010 (now revised to 2012) One of the major milestones of the timeline is to have the Public Sector IPv 6 -Ready by 2008 (now revised to 2011) NAv 6 was contracted as a consultant to carry out these projects. Two agencies was selected for the pilot project: The Pilot Project will be pioneering the deployment of IPv 6 in Malaysia This IPv 6 Pilot project will be used as reference and guidelines for parties interested in implementing IPv 6 in their network, mainly focusing on the Malaysian government agencies

Malaysia’s IPv 6 initiative: IPv 6 Pilot Projects IPv 6 Pilot Project Objectives Establish basic IPv 6 capability in within the agency’s network. Basic IPv 6 capability is defined here as being able to transport and route in dual-stack (IPv 4 and IPv 6) and that all devices that are configured in dual-stack must be able to interoperate with each other.

Malaysia’s IPv 6 initiative: IPv 6 Pilot Projects • The IPv 6 deployment was done in a gradual manner adopting several well recognized transition mechanisms 20 • The step by step approach was taken to ensure that the migration would be free of any technical glitches or security issues. • The project comprise of 4 phases
