Deploying IPv6 at Scale as an ISP
Speaker:
Clinton Work, TELUS
As a service provider serving nearly 14 million customer connections in Canada across Wireless and Wireline services, TELUS has a vast set of technologies on multiple networks with many supporting systems enabling these services. Having worked for years on deploying IPv6 we are now introducing IPv6 support for our customers in all major Internet services. Our first IPv6 services were delivered in 2012 to ARIN, NANOG and IETF which all met in Vancouver and relied on the TELUS network for connectivity. Three years later, you might not guess it based on the mere 0.53% of Canadian users enabled as of July 10 (according to Google’s IPv6 stats) but our deployment is about to scale, particularly for our Residential High Speed Internet. I wish to share what TELUS has learned in our IPv6 efforts including how to establish an IPv6 program, how to set its scope, how to gain executive attention and how to influence other departments to buy-in to IPv6 as necessary for the scope of the many other projects on-going at any point. In short, I will share the valuable lessons we have learned in our IPv6 program which is now coming to fruition, bringing IPv6 to our subscribers. With feedback from the program committee, I will entertain refining this abstract to serve a felt need of that NANOG audience. I would welcome the opportunity to serve the community and help the many ISPs and Enterprises present to succeed in their IPv6 deployment strategies. Regards, Matthew Wilder, P.Eng.
