9:00-10:00 - Keynote Address: Richard Jimmerson - ARIN /
Internet Society - IPv6 Deployment Determines the Future of the
Internet
Abstract: Deployment of IPv6 is gaining momentum, as it is
increasingly recognized as the basis for the continued growth of the
Internet. With the IANA free pool of IPv4 addresses fully depleted,
it is just a matter of time before each of the five RIRs is
completely depleted of the resource, as well. Richard Jimmerson of
the Internet Society (ISOC) will describe the great challenge the
Internet faces going forward. As the Internet ages, concerns mount
that it is losing the critical flexibility and responsiveness to new
requirements that have been the basis for its growth and innovation
in the past. The deployment of IPv6 is a bellwether for the
Internet’s future: Are we able to ensure it continues to evolve as
it grows? Or, will the Internet’s future be limited by an inability
to move beyond the status quo?
Biography: Richard Jimmerson is the Director of the Deployment
and Operationalization Hub (DO-Hub) at the Internet Society (ISOC).
The DO-Hub focus is to advance and grow the Internet through the
delivery of implementation-critical information for deployment of
key Internet technologies.
Richard facilitated the advancement of the Internet as a lead
executive at the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) over
a thirteen year period. He most recently led a high profile outreach
campaign to raise Internet community awareness of IPv4 depletion and
the critical need for IPv6 adoption.
Richard has talked with thousands of companies about their adoption
of new technologies and standards, including IPv6, over the years.

Enterprise Track
10:15-11:00 - Jeff Carrell - Network Conversions - Implementing
IPv6, The Nuts and Bolts of it
Abstract: Although IPv6 has been "around" since the 1990's, very
few production networks are actually configured for full IPv6
communications. It is not that network designers and engineers do
not want to implement IPv6, there just has not really been the
compelling reasons to do so. However, now is the time to understand
and "come to grips" with the new protocol. It is not really that
hard to do, it is just different, and change is sometimes not
welcome in a network.
Most manufacturers of network infrastructure devices have been
supporting IPv6 for several years, as well as most server and client
operating systems. The challenge when looking at all the network
connected devices that do or do not support IPv6 is generally around
the "small" or embedded systems type devices, like printers, VoIP
phones, WLAN devices, etc.
This session will explain the basics of IPv6, how the new address
numbering system works, how to implement IPv6 in the network
infrastructure, determining what all other devices can or should
communicate via IPv6, and how to implement IPv6 exclusively on every
network connected device.
Security concerning what devices and operating systems have IPv6
enabled by default will be discussed and the potential risks of
exposure if the system is not properly implemented.
The session will feature a live IPv6 only network, with switches,
routers, servers, clients, a printer, a VoIP system, and WLAN
connected devices. In addition, there will be an IPv6 connection to
the Internet to "see" other IPv6 systems.

Opportunities for Criminal Growth - Forecasting Cyber-Crime during
the IPv6 Transition
Abstract: The global cyber criminal eco-systems have and will
continue to use the IPv6 as a key tool for their economic gain. IPv4
to IPv6 migration will expose organizations and individuals to a
multitude of risk, much of it happen quietly, under the radar. The
lack of IPv6 telemetry means that most "security companies" and
"service providers" will not be able to monitor this growth in
criminal activity. We're going to cover the drivers behind these
criminal eco-systems, why these drivers will logically lead to
creative IPv6 innovations, and the gaps in IPv6 adoption that
increase industry risk forcing "reactionary re-thinking" of how an
organization will move to IPv6.

integration testing must be an absolute requirement. This
presentation will discuss the importance of integrating systems for
interoperability, functionality, performance and security testing in
each of the following configurations; and especially why testing in
each configuration is important:
* IPv6-only network configuration (the as-is architecture minus
IPv4)
* Dual-Stack network configuration (the as-is with both IPv4 and
IPv6)
* IPv4-only (the as-is architecture for legacy systems integration)
Finally, the presentation will also relay key strategies in
building your own enterprise-ready Test and Evaluation Master Plan.

challenges on their own, but together they are the perfect storm.
IPv6 is being added at the infrastructure layer (routers/switches,
load balancers, DNS, etc.), and application awareness is happening
at the application and policy enforcement layer (application-aware
firewalls, application delivery controllers, WAN acceleration
devices, application servers, user databases, billing systems,
policy management, etc.). These transitions can't be managed in
isolation. It is important to not only test at the application and
infrastructure layers but also to do integrated testing of policies
that govern both of these fundamental transitions. Thomas Maufer
will speak to each of these areas and provide insights and key
learning on testing these scenarios.
Biography: Thomas Maufer, published author of three books for
Prentice-Hall, is the Director of Technical Marketing for Mu
Dynamics. He has managed production multi-protocol networks at NASA
and participated in the InteropNet's Network Operations Center (NOC)
team. He has worked in Silicon Valley for over 15 years building all
types of Ethernet- and IP-based networking products: from networking
silicon to switches and routers to test equipment. Much of his
career has involved network security, both in products and in
protocols, and he has been fortunate to have spent many years
helping to define IEEE andIETF standards: IEEE 802.11e/g/i, IEEE
802.1X, IPsec, IPv6, OSPF, IP multicast and others. As of this
writing, he has contributed to 32 United States patents. When he's
not helping to design protocols or the products that implement or
test them, he's relaxing with a single-malt Scotch.
2:00-2:30 - Shelia Frankel - NIST - Guideline for the Secure
Deployment of IPv6
Abstract: Due to the exhaustion of IPv4 address space, and the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandate that U.S. federal
agencies begin to use the IPv6 protocol, NIST undertook the
development of a guide to help educate federal agencies about the
possible security risks during their initial IPv6 deployment.
Special Publication (SP) 800-119, Guidelines for the Secure
Deployment of IPv6, describes and analyzes IPv6's new and expanded
protocols, services, and capabilities, including addressing, DNS,
routing, mobility, quality of service, multihoming, and IPsec. For
each component, there is a detailed analysis of the differences
between IPv4 and IPv6, the security ramifications and any unknown
aspects. It characterizes new security threats posed by the
transition to IPv6 and provides guidelines on IPv6 deployment,
including transition, integration, configuration, and testing. It
also addresses more recent significant changes in the approach to
IPv6 transition.
Sheila Frankel will discuss NIST's IPv6 program, the
security-related aspects of IPv6 deployment and NIST's
recommendations for secure IPv6 deployment.
Biography: Sheila Frankel is a computer scientist and computer
security researcher in NIST's Computer Security Division. She is an
active participant in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
IPsec standardization effort, and was responsible for NIST's IPsec/IKE
reference implementation and interactive Web-based interoperability
tester. She is the author of a book on IPsec, "Demystifying the
IPsec Puzzle" and author of several IPsec-related RFCs. Currently,
she is involved with the Federal Government’s transition to IPv6.
She is an author of NIST’s U.S. Government IPv6 Profile and NIST
SP 800-119, Guidelines for the Secure Deployment of IPv6. She holds
a Masters degree from New York University's Courant Institute.
2:30-3:00 - John Baird - DoD High Performance Computing
Modernization Program Office - Critical Success Factors for a
successful IPv6 Deployment
Abstract: For several years the nation-wide Defense Research and
Engineering Network (DREN) has provided IPv6 service to its
customers, including connectivity with many external networks such
as the Internet and the Internet2. In June, 2003, the DREN was
designated as the first DoD IPv6 pilot network. By July, 2005, the
entire DREN wide-area network was routinely supporting end-to-end
IPv6, customer sites were supporting IPv6 along with IPv4, and
selected applications were IPv6 enabled. Performance and security
were as good as and in some ways better than pre-IPv6 levels. This
was accomplished without additional personnel and with less than
$100,000 in additional funding. In this talk, what DREN did and how
they did it will be covered, and the lessons they learned while
deploying IPv6 will be shared to help other organizations succeed in
their own IPv6 deployments. For a preview of the talk, read the DREN
DoD Success Story article on the OMB web site.
Biography: Since 2003, John Baird has served as the IPv6
Implementation Manager for the Department of Defense (DoD) High
Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), which operates
the nationwide Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN).
Since 2003 the DREN has provided IPv6-enabled Internet Service
Provider (ISP) services to the DoD research and engineering
community, and other federal organizations. John has worked for the
HPCMP in various capacities since 1994. He has over 40 years of
experience in networking, computer architecture, systems software,
and security.
3:00-3:15 - Break
3:15-3:45 - Owen Delong - Hurricane Electric - IPv6 – Light at
the end of the Tunnel
Abstract: A light at the end of the tunnel could be the end of
darkness, or, it could be an oncoming train. IPv6 will be one or the
other, possibly both. The more prepared your organization is, the
closer you'll be to an end of darkness. Less prepared organizations
will feel like they were hit by an oncoming train.
This presentation will help you understand what your organization
needs to prepare for this upcoming transition and how to plan your
IPv6 deployment to minimize disruption and difficulty during this
exciting time.
