IPv6, deplying IPv6, security, transition techniques
The purpose of this presentation is to share experiences with deploying IPv6 in
the university campus network and describe the most significant troubles that we
have been faced with. Many problems met during the IPv6 deployment at the
university environment are very similar to problems that ISPs have to also solve.
Huge amount of users using mixed platforms and their differed requirements brings
many problems that are not present in a typical enterprise environment.
Techniques for IPv6 address assignment implemented differently in various
operating systems (OS) can be one of the examples. Missing implementations of
security tools (RA Guard, SEND, SAVI etc.) is also a serious issue. Privacy
extensions, is often in contradiction with ISP's needs - that is accounting,
billing and the user tracking in order to solve security incidents. Transition
techniques can raise security problems - it is possible to overcome ISP's
firewalls. Improperly configured operation systems sending rogue Router
Advertisement can cause network malfunctioning etc. The presentation tries to
point out the major problems and describe some ways to solve the problems.
