• Without public IP addresses, the Internet

sustainability and growth potential would be

greatly reduced

• Designing solutions on IPv4/NAT, is

equivalent to building non-scalable and non-

end to end solutions

Motivation for ETSI ISG IP6

• Transition to IPv6 is

challenging

Motivation for ETSI ISG IP6 • IPv6 has not resonated very well with industry primarily due to the lack of the business

case needed to commit investment and resources to do the upgrade:

• However, Internet has become a worldwide critical infrastructure and its upgrade is of paramount importance to keep Internet growing; more specifically to cater for the new technologies that will adopt it such as IoT, Cloud Computing and 5G

• The ETSI ISG IP6 has the ambition to define best practices, garner support and create awareness of the impact of IPv6 on critical infrastructure and on emerging topics such as Cloud Computing, IoT (Internet of Things), SDN/NFV (Software Defined Networking/Network Function Virtualization) and 5G,

Possible IPv6 Transition Strategies

in 5G/IoT Mobile Networks • IPv4 only: .

o Due to the increase in number of end devices, there will be an increased demand for IP addresses and on using NAT in the carriers network, denoted as Carrier Grade Network Address Translation

• Coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6:

o requires the use of a dual-stack, introducing IPv6 in the network next to IPv4

o dual stack difficult to operate and requires an address management solution for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses

• IPv6 only:

o introduces IPv6 in the network and remove IPv4 completely

o simple, but many UE (User Equipment) devices, websites, and applications still only work on IPv4; When moving to an IPv6-only network may lead to inferior service for MNO customers, resulting in customer dissatisfaction

• Enhanced IPv6 only and offering IPv4 as a service over IPv6

o efficient, but solutions required to provide offering of high performance IPv4aaS over IPv6

5G/IoT requirements • Reliable 5G protocol design for scalable delay and reliability

• Interworking between IoT Vertical Industry products and 5G:

o Service oriented L1 adaptation (frequency, bandwidth)

o Adaption strategies for L1/L2 algorithms and protocols

o Adaption strategies for applications…

• Networking concepts for 5G multi-link machine routers

• Radio Resource Management (RRM) to exploit distributed antennas in machines

• New solutions for data aggregation and processing based on edge computing (MEC,

MEN)

• Accurate channel models for different Vertical Industry environments

• Proofed system concept and 5G automation platform integration

• Recommendation for IPv6 Transition Strategy for 5G/IoT
