[AfrIPv6-Discuss] Help Get Microsoft to Implement RFC 6106 for Windows

[Mukom Akong T.]

Most of the complaints about deploying IPv6 to users have been around
needing to do both SLAAC and DHCPv6 in a normal network. Reasons being

- Microsoft has refused to implement RFC 6106 (the ability to provision DNS
information using RAs) in its Operating Systems

- Google has refused to implement DHCPv6 client in Android

There's an team within Microsoft that is willing to drive implementation of
RFC 6106 but they need our help so signal the demand.

If you are a Microsoft client, please contact your representation and ask
them that  Microsoft OS's inability to support RFC 6106 is hindering your
deployment project. You can use this template message

**
Dear 

We've been facing a major problem with our IPv6 deployment because
Microsoft's Operating Systems that we use currently do not support the
ability to receive DNS configuration information for IPv6 through Router
Advertisements.

Could you please inform about Microsoft's timeline for implementing this?

Thank you


**

If you do that, they will put that information in an internal tool and our
inside team can make a case for it being put on the road map for
implementation.

Please spread the word.

P/S No ... no such luck with Google and Android ... for now.

AFRINIC only currently runs workshops around two topics (INRM and IPv6). We
do tutorials around different topics (DNSSEC and RPKI being typical 1 day
tutorials done by our R team and usually used to engage as part of their
research projects.


Before we put out training material on our training website, it has to meet
criterial that the team has agree upon and for now that's not the case.

Our certification initiatives  is about a standardised test/examination -
which is still one of the best ways to reinforce learning. We've gotten
lots of requests from our delegates for a "Certificate of Attendance" (we
currently don't) but when we launch our certification platform, we'll be
able to give people who need that something with global recognition.

You probably missed my point. We don't put up material that we consider
'beta'.  A Workshop for us is a multi-day event consisting of teaching and
labs. We generally don't host slides used for Tutorials (1/2 to 1 day
sessions) on the training website.

Nigeria should be doing a lot more than WATCH. Is there any kind of
National IPv6 Strategic Plan for Nigeria? Is the Nigerian IPv6 Business
council in a position to put that in place? If you need help putting such a
strategy in place, contact AFRINIC or this list for help.

And therein lies the problem: the ability to understand the strategic
importance of IPv6 AND put it in the larger context of the IT strategic
plan.  Most governments and business so far do terribly on this.


Case in point: An ISP in one country had a CTO who understood IPv6 so he
got it enabled on the network core. The ISP did a HUGE IPv6 Launch
ceremony. 2 months later, that same ISP rolled out their LTE network  ...
without IPv6 (the CPE isn't even capable of IPv6). Said ISP has recently
launched another broadband product ...again without support for IPv6. Oh
and said ISP came back to me last year asking about how to get IPv6 Forum
logos to put on their website that they are IPv6-enabled . and even
their website does not support IPv6!


I have a theory about that and of course a proposed approach (
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20151018_why_ipv6_deployment_is_slow_in_africa_what_to_do_about_it/
)


Bottom line, I'm convinced deploying IPv6 is primarily a business (resource
allocation) problem rather than a technical one. Even basic things like
"What does mean to have "Deployed IPv6?" - here are the levels

- a) we have a block from AFRINIC, we announce it in BGP (and then null0 it
at the edge)
- b) we have a block from AFRINIC, we've deployed it on part of our user
network and they can get to sites online over IPv6
- c) we have a block from AFRINIC, our website is dual-stacked


the deeper you go, the more complex it becomes and the more crucial
managerial/executive support is.


Similarly, we've seen governments announce IPv6 task forces and beyond
putting up a website and maybe a 'Position Paper'  - there's been no real
strategy. Again a lack of understanding of the core issues.

Critical to success of any such endeavour will be the leverage that those
running the task force can pull.  Coming up with an Action Plan is dead
simple, actually implementing one is quite difficult.

For the plan itself, I gave a keynote presentation at the last CTO summit
in Abuja and here's essentially a step-by-step guide to do that (assuming
there's a gov't mandate)

without further details, here are some basic checks

a) I'm guessing ur DHCPv6 server is not on same subnet with your PCs, did
you configure your first hop routers as DHCPv6 relays?
b) PCs should receive a full address (all 128 bits) and not a prefix


assumptions

- the server has appropriate scope configured AND is listening on
appropriate interfaces?

clarifying:

do you mean "I want IPv6 hosts talking to IPv4 hosts and vice versa"? that is 
not dual stack (which is IPv4 talking to IPv4 and IPv6 talking to IPv6)
if yes, then what you need is a *Translation* technique

yes NAT64 is a translation technique used in a very specific scenario — where 
an IPv6-only client initiates a connection AND relies on a DNS resolver 
(enabled with DNS64) for name resolution.

why are you so sure NAT64 is what you need in this situation?

Il ya deux modes de multicast
 - Sparse mode: c’est dans cette mode qu’on utilise les RP
 - Dense mode: les RP ne sont pas utiliser dans cette mode

je ne vois cette analogie.

Les addresses multicast ne sont pas issue du RP. L’administrateur peut lier une 
address multicast a un RP (quand le mode d’operation est Sparse mode). Une 
address multicast est comme une fréquence (radio, tele) … plusieurs noeuds 
reçoivent les communications envoye sur cette fréquence.

mais si un de ces noeuds cherchent une station, et le mode d’operations 
(configurer par l’administrateur est Sparse mode), l’RP aident les noeuds a 
trouvez la source (la station).

Les RP et les adresses multicast sont independent. Et ce n'est qu'en mode
"Sparse mode multicast" qu'on utilise les RP.  Les sources de multicast
envoient leur premier communications au RP (messages unicast)

Quand le RP reçoit les packet, il sont distribué au clients en multicast

As at two weeks ago, responses flatlined (after about 740 respondents - of

Rather than close the survey, we’ve downloaded the data and are now analyzing

something we already suspected, so this just confirms it :-)
we’ll make a presentation on this at iWeek at also share the report with the

More importantly though, it’s the qualitative analyses that’s going to help us

If you are just getting started? any recent (last 3 years) book on IPv6 will be

[AfrIPv6-Discuss] [Webinar] Take Your IPv6 Deployment to the Next Level

[Mukom Akong T]

Hello folks


When we did our IPv6 Deployment Challenges survey in 2016, one of the main 
findings was that some folks even after training still wanted more guidance. As 
a result, we created two initiatives as part of our IPv6 Program


1. The IPv6 Deployment Hackathon (aka Deployathons): - invite-only events where 
we help you prototype, test and deploy some IPv6 feature within 16 hours

2. The IPv6 Deployment Help Desk where we work with teams one-on-one to 
implement IPv6 on their networks


We find ourselves dealing with certain recurrent themes during these help desk 
sessions. As a result, we’re launching a series of webinars to address very 
specific deployment issues.


The first webinar is open for registration at 
https://vox.afrinic.net/281636?lang=en and will take place as follows

  19th September

⏱  13:00 UTC

 30 seats only


Request an invite to this webinar at https://vox.afrinic.net/281636?lang=en


Warm Regards


P/S

If you’ll be attending SAFNOG-4 (24th - 29th September) in Dar Es Salaam, 
Tanzania, we’ll be running our second deployathon at the event. Request an 
invite at https://vox.afrinic.net/728558?lang=en


For anyone else who cannot make it to Dar but needs free guidance on their IPv6 
project, make a request at  bit.ly/6deployEN  (English) or bit.ly/6deployFR 
(French). Those who register and get an invite to our webinar 
https://vox.afrinic.net/281636?lang=en will get priority access to the help 
desk.

In some cases, the manager doesn't care and the engineers can go ahead and
start some kind of IPv6 deployment. In my experience, the only kind of
engineers who tend to do this are IT manager types. And in almost all
cases, their 'deployments' are never company-wide (i.e. down to the
customer but rather pieces like "get a block", "announce it", "enable the
core" and they generally stop there.


When an engineer isn't at that level, they still need authorisation to

- effect changes on the network
- change a piece of equipment
- liaise with other teams or departments

it's not just money (to buy things, to get trained), it's also the time and
other priorities.

The survey we did last year ... "lack of management support" was by far the
number 1 challenge (or 'excuse' ) engineers identified.

I am yet to see any significant kind of deploymen that was

a) Led by an engineer who isn't 'mangement' type
b) Didn't get the full support of management

Sure we'll be tackling management training ...and we'll see if that's
indeed a challenge or an excuse.

unannounced IPv6 prefix announced from your real network.


Any labs (GNS3, Docker, EVE-ng,  etc or even AFRINIC’s extensive testbed) will 
only serve for PROTOYPING as step towards making changes to the production 
network.



We assume (and it’s a pre-requisite) that anyone who qualifies already has a 
testing environment to use before deploying things into production (that’s if 
your network change policy requires that).


For those that have been selected, they’ll get personalised instructions about 
what to do to make it possible to implement the objective .. live on the 
network.


And for that reason, we are only looking for the people who are responsible for 
making network changes in their real networks.

hat
actually HOLDS IPv6 deployment back from real operators attempting to
deploy it and so far with over 45 tickets, the evidence indicates that
incompatible equipment is not in the top 5.


We're also realising that that argument from big operators about "customers
aren't asking for it" is not true. We know of large operators that within 2
months have received explicitly written requests to enable IPv6 from large
corporate customers. You don't want to see their response :(


If you want to host one of our DEPLOYATHON sessions in your country

- 5% teaching, 95% DOing
- using our Prototype → Validate → Develop → Deploy framework
- enables you hit a measurable deployment milestone within 8 hours

you can apply at:  https://vox.afrinic.net/189828?lang=en (or
https://vox.afrinic.net/189828?lang=fr in french)


And for those who are still wondering how ready or not their organisations
are, take our free Organisational IPv6 Readiness Assessment at
https://vox.afrinic.net/651525?lang=en  (or
https://vox.afrinic.net/651525?lang=fr in French)

The results might provide pointers where to start the process.


Until next time . be EXCELLENT

True. Anyone with remote experience how organisations work will know that: if 
management doesn’t support it, it’s never going to happen.
Our revamped “IPv6 Strategy & Planning for Executives” workshop is designed to 
help managers with exactly this problem. If you are interested in hosting it in 
your country, express interest at
