 IPv6 over Broadband Services – Target
Market and Service Requirements

 Carriers in APAC want to run IPv6 across their broadband networks

 Most interest so far in Japan due to Government technology push &
funding for IPv6 development
 Interest is also growing in other APAC countries including Korea, India,
China, Taiwan, etc.
 There have emerged Two IPv6 over Broadband standards :
 NTT Com, ACCA, KDDI etc in Japan are running or trialling PPP
based IPv4 and IPv6 “Dual Stack” BRAS
 NTT East / West / SI Labs is building a whole new nationwide
network and they want Non-PPP based services.

 IPv4 Standards

• Business broadband – generally uses Bridged or Routed

1483 for static, always-on service models.
• Subscriber services are based on either PPPoE or DHCP.

• Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) based on PPP,

extended by RFC 2516
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is based on
work in BootP, extended by RFC 1541, usually implemented
as compliant to RFC 2131.

 Protocol Design Intentions

• PPPoE
• PPPoE is designed to establish a WAN connection to a
remote client. PPPoE extends PPP to Ethernet, providing
for authentication, authorization, accounting and
network layer configuration.

• DHCP
• DHCP is designed to supply DHCP clients (usually in a
broadcast domain i.e. LAN) with network configuration
parameters.

 Summary - IPv4 BRAS Service Models

PPP-based model Non PPP-based model

• Business services
• Requires PPPoE client software • Bridged / Routed 1483 services
or CPE device
• Session based service model • Subscriber Services
• User authentication & • DHCP based broadband remote
accounting information present access
• Radius based AAA • Good for lightweight clients
• Leverages LCP and IPCP • Requires many add-ins to DHCP
protocols to allow AAA, session monitoring,
accounting, etc etc etc etc….

 More detail – IPv4 Connection Setup

NCP - IPCP used for :

• IP address assignment – via Local IPv4 /
pools or Radius IPCP
• DNS Server addresses, etc
• etc
PPP / LCP

PPP - LCP used for :

• user authentication PPPoE or
PPPoA
• connection establishment
• connection maintenance / monitoring
ATM or
Ethernet

 Notes about IPv6 Connection setup:

NCP – IPv6CP used only for exchange of Link-Local addresses -

not much use at all in a BRAS environment.
 JunosE development started in 2002 while specifications were
Internet Drafts but they are now RFCs :
DHCPv6 – draft-ietf-dhc-dhcp6-26.txt  RFC 3315
 draft-troan-dhcpv6-opt-prefix-delegation-01.txt  RFC 3633
 draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-opt-dnsconfig-03  RFC 3646

IPv6 devices

• Native Client device support for both IPv4 and

IPv6 over single PPP stack

•Eg - simply extend the existing Windows XP

PPPoE client to support IPv6

•Eg Windows “VISTA” 2007?

 Prefixes statically provisioned on user facing interface (VC / VLAN)

 DHCP-PD and opt-DNS could also be used without PPP
 ND / RA could also be used to advertise prefixes over Ethernet access
 How to do DNS in this case ?

 Less protocol overhead due to no PPP – BUT – bit of a drag due to

lost functionality (user auth, accounting, session monitoring, etc)

 Layer 3 CPE - Details
 Prefixes statically provisioned on the BRAS
 One Prefix per access subinterface (VC / VLAN)
 DHCP-PD and opt-DNS used between BRAS and CPE router
 CPE initiates DHCPv6 exchange to BRAS
 Requests IPv6 Prefix via DHCP-PD
 Requests DNSv6 info via Opt-DNS
 BRAS responds with configured values
 ND / RA used to assign IPv6 addresses to IPv6 devices behind CPE
Router.
