4 th IPv6 Task Force Meeting IPv6 Roadmap Recommendations

Approved recommendations:

….The requirement for IPv6 implies a need for coordinated trials and tests …. – which are more likely to succeed via both harmonisation of standards and

ETSI).

….

readily available interoperability events (such as those offered by

n  European Industry is called to:

…

 

Support and fully participate in interoperability events organised notably by ETSI, … …

The ETSI interoperability service: a new permanent service since end 2000.

•

Experiment in the period ’99 – 2000 the interest to complement the standardisation works using regular meetings by the organisation of « bake-offs » where participants bring implementations/products;

•

Confirm at the GA 35, nov. 2000, the interest of such service and create a permanent one: the ETSI Interoperability Service;

•

July 2001: change the name « bake-off » , a trade mark of Pillsbury by « Plugtests »

•

End 2002, 600 companies send about 2000 engineers to 26 interoperability events

3

We organize Plugtests events

•

Plugtests

: interoperability tests event where engineers of competing companies get together to test a (draft) standard and their implementations

•

Plugtests event:

–

open event, I.e. everyone implementing the standard is welcome to participate

–

closed event, i.e. no sales & marketing representatives, no customers

•

Goal: improving interoperability by enhancing the quality of the specification

•

Open to all communication standards

The IPv6 Ready Logo Programme

Laurent Toutain César Viho

9

Why a Logo Programme

•

Avoid confusion in the mind of customers with a unique programme

•

Give a strong signal to the market of IPv6 availability

•

Prove the interoperability degree of various IPv6 products

•

Enhance confidence of users that IPv6 is currently operational

To summarize, this logo programme will contribute to the feeling that IPv6 is available and ready to be used 10

A SMOOTH AND GRADUAL APPROACH

•

Two phases :

–

Short-term period (Bootstrap)

»

Pragmatic approach

»

Mainly based on existing interoperability events



IPv6 mandatory core protocols and interoperability

–

Long-term period

»

Formal approach

»

Based on requirements issued by the IPv6 Logo Committee (v6LC)



product has successfully satisfied strong formal requirements

11

THE IPv6 LOGO PROGRAMME COMMITTEE (v6LC)

•

Giving the right to affix the IPv6 logos for products

•

Composed by 21 persons representative of the expertise of the different main actors involved in IPv6 : members are either equipment vendors, providers, academics, organizations, and test laboratories

12

HOW TO REQUEST AN IPv6 LOGO?

•

Procedures to request will be based on self declaration mode

•

The IPv6 Logo Committee will define procedures and rules (including application forms) to obtain an IPv6 Logo

•

Companies interested in obtaining an IPv6 logo for a product must contact the v6LC and send the appropriate application forms

CONCLUSION

-> Come to ETSI World wide interoperability events - May remote multi-sites - September Brussels, 22-26 http://www.etsi.org/plugtests - > Contribute to the work on test specification coordinate by MTS IPT group http://www.etsi.org/ptcc/ptccIPT.htm

-> follow up and support the logo programme and the french team INRIA/IRISA/ENST ..
