3. Scope
Attempt to avoid overly technical
focus on mobile net differences
Innovation stifled by 3GPP / IETF friction.
Frustrated by telco sector’s CS vs. PS rationale

4. Challenges
air/freq. is a shared medium,
SIM card + $random terminal type.
$vendor terminal support
Roaming = guest status.
telco vendors license models discourage IPv6.
radio resources.

5. Mobile Net architecture
SKIP - E/ /’s Fredrick did it with much better graphics 20mins ago.
/
2/3/4 G
GPRS
PDP context - GTP tunnel
SGSN(local) GGSN(home)

6. BTW: here we go again...
IPv4 to IPv6
~=
IPX, LAT, ISO, X.25, (or whatever) to IPv4.
your oldest staff might be your best asset ?

7. Implementation methodology
started at outside layer, work inwards towards customer
less customer breakage
easy to verify along way
Management plane, AAA, licensing, logging, security etc.
SSH, radius, NTP, DNS, syslog, h/w ACLs.
multi-vendor hybrid (E///, Cisco, Juniper, Opensource).

8. Preparation
MPLS core... 6VPE ( individual PEs & RRs only, no P changes)
s/w upgrades, licensing, labbing.
Establishing IPv6 BGP peerings (NIX: 50xIPv4 vs. 16xIPv6)
# show bgp vpnv6 unicast vrf internet regexp _39029$
BGP table version is 1238870, local router ID is 89.254.100.3
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal,
r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
Route Distinguisher: 41483:1002 (default for vrf internet)

9. more preparation ...
IGPs: OSPFv3 or ISIS
prefixes obviously not easily memorable or uniquely
displayed (cf. IPv4 or E.164)
those who static route IPv4 should lose their jobs
those who static route IPv6 will lose their jobs ;)

10. Quick Rant
•but seriously, let the client O/S &
applications ‘manage’ multipath
connectivity (& name resolution) ?
•Support nightmare. ‘NxN unfixable’
handset problems. (OTA reconfig
limited)
•Sane approach: pure IPv6. (w/
Stateful NAT64 for legacy IPv4
content) Dual Stack car ?
•It breaks your App ? well maybe you
hardcoded stuff, so fix it ! Hint: P2Ps
enjoy IPv6 end-end connectivity.

11. connectivity options
1. IPv4 APN (today)
2. IPv6 APN
3. IPv4v6 APN
A dual stack client can use either :
(3) Release8/9
(1)+(2) on Release4 [Ole T. w/Nokia MT does this].
where (2). optional complemented w/NAT64 for legacy IPv4 access

13. Hall of Fame
Nokia
handsets. e.g. E71 (4 years old !)
Juniper
early hardware NAT64 solution (stable & scaleable)
(sys)logging not suitable for DLD ?
Cisco
early NAT-PT (not scalable)
NAT64 in EFT, + netflow logging

14. Hall of Shame
Apple - iOS no PDPv6 support
Google - Android no PDPv6 support
ZTE, Option, Nokia, Huawei - no dongle PDPv6 support ?
Ericsson - unable to verify. Apparently MMDM support ?
discouraging licensing (IPv6 extra).
All - feature parity ?

16. Example of typical problem
$ screen /dev/tty.Mobile-Modem 9600
at+cgdcont=?
+CGDCONT: (1-16),"IP",,,(0-2),(0-4)
+CGDCONT: (1-16),"PPP",,,(0-2),(0-4)
+CGDCONT: (1-16),"IPV6",,,(0-2),(0-4))
OK
=> so PDP type IPV6 is listed.
=> can we can select it ?
See “ETSI TR 127 007” for
at+cgdcont=1,"IPV6","v6",,0,0 commands overview
OK
=> great.
=> and verify it took it:
at+cgdcont?
+CGDCONT: 1,"IPV6","v6","0.0.0.0",0,0
...Opps, notice the “0.0.0.0” not “::/0”
=> try to dial
ATD*99***1#
