Tutorials

T4 - IPv6 in industry sectors and Cellular Networks

CANCELLED

Speakers	Bosco Fernandes, Siemens and Jordi Martínez, Consulintel
Duration	Full Day	Start Time	9h00
Abstract	The purpose of this tutorial is to provide information to facilitate discussion on requirements for the successful global implementation of the Internet Protocol version (IPv6). The Internet Protocol is by far the most used general purpose Protocol in Networks and can be used on top of most transmission equipment. Its advantage is the openness and enhanced capabilities offered to be used with other fast growing technologies. It therefore, needs a good understanding of how it works and what needs to be done to leverage the maximum out of it. The IPv6 protocol is the successor of the current routing protocol, called IPv4. It offers greater addressing space permitting many devices to be directly addressed than in the case today. IPv6 also provides security features not available today. The workshop will discuss reasons for migrating to IPv6, the costs and benefits involved, the issues associated with migration, and provide ideas for solution to those issues. IP Micro-Mobility is a hot debate in R&D institutes. Several non-application layer approaches are being proposed in the IETF that support intra-domain (e.g. Cellular IP, HAWAII’) and inter-domain mobility (e.g. Mobile IP). These schemes result in extra overhead such as triangular routing and additional delay, require extra mobility stacks in IP appliances, and some of them may not be suitable for real-time applications. Thus, it is desirable to avoid these extra overheads signalling and control system that sets up and releases multimedia calls. In cellular Networks, the signalling overhead needs to be kept as small as possible. The outline of the course will be as follows: - Introduction to IP, Background and Standardization Status - Header Formats & Packet Size Issues - Addressing & Routing - Security - Quality of Service - Mobility - ICMPv6 & Neighbor Discovery - Multicast - Multihoming - Porting Applications and DNS issues - Transition scenario's - Euro6XI and Mobile Networks - Discussion

Short Biography of the Speaker(s):

Bosco Eduardo Fernandes received his degree of Dipl. Ing in engineering in Munich, Germany and holds an Executive MBA. Mr. Fernandes has worked in various managerial and engineering positions in R&D of Circuit and Packet switching systems. He served as a responsible Manager for a number of GSM projects. He switched on the first GSM Network in the World and the first GSM Network out side of Europe. He chaired EU Research Mobile and Personal communications Domain in RACE (R&D in Advanced Communications-technologies in Europe) and ACTS (Advanced Communications Technologies and Services) for three years. Mr. Fernandes is a senior member of the IEEE communications society and a member of the International Telecommunications Academy of Russia (ITA). He was the only mandated chairman of the UMTS Task Force that preceded the creation of the UMTS Forum and won the UMTS Chairman’s Award 2000. He now chairs the Information Communications Technologies (ICT) [IT media] working group in the Forum. Mr. Fernandes is a member of the Technical Directorate of the IPv6 Forum and supports the close co-operation between the IPv6 Forum and UMTS Forum ICTG. He also chaired the Mobile Wireless Working Group in the recent IPv6 Task Force and is an ISOC member.

He is Vice President of International Affairs at Siemens.

Jordi Palet Martínez has worked in Computers, networking and telecomm business for the last 20 years. His experience includes programming in several languages, open systems, electronic and microcomputer circuit design, consultancy and network design and implementation, among others. Mr. Palet has held technical, marketing and product management managerial positions in several companies, and now the CEO/CTO of Consulintel, Madrid, a Spanish ISP. He has been involved in the IPv6 Forum, as chair of the Education & Awareness Working Group, since the Forum foundation, and recently as member of the Tech Directorate. Mr. Palet frequently writes articles, white papers, and presentations about most of the high-end technologies. Several specialised magazines and other media, in both, Spanish and English have published these documents. He is a frequent lecturer and speaker in several Universities and events (Spain and Rest of the World), mainly on IPv6 and Next Generation Networks related issues (QoS, multicast, MIP, security, mobility etc.), including complete tutorials. In the last 3 years, he has presented over 60 times. Mr. Palet is an active member of non-profit organisations for the dissemination of technologies and telecommunications/Internet. He is an active member of the European IPv6 Task Force , and he was a member of the Steering Committee at @asLAN, for several years, and then elected Vice-President and President. Mr. Palet is involvement in several R&D projects and was the designer of Euro6IX , main responsible of the proposal preparation and further negotiation with the EC, and indeed is the Scientific Project Co-ordinator.
