Defense Transformation Building the Foundation: Net-Centric Operations and IPv6 John Osterholz Director, Architecture & Interoperability DoD Chief Information Officer 1 john.osterholz@osd.mil
Where We Are Going The two truly transforming things might be in information technology and information operation and networking connecting things in ways that they function totally differently than they had previously. And if that s possible then possibly the single most transforming thing in our force will not be a weapon system, but a set of interconnections and a substantially enhanced capability because of that awareness.

Strategic Direction Global Information Grid Investment Reenergize our historical role as an early adopter of IP technology Accelerate the availability of security technology and devices Joint Fires Network Deploy advanced IP services at Gigabit rates over a DWDM fabric space and terrestrial fabric Deploy a new class of applications which make use of advanced IP services and standards 8
Deployment of IPv6 Will Provide Advanced IP Services GIG Enterprise Services SONET Framing Commercial Products Increasingly Incorporate IPv6 9
DOD IPv6 Implementation Direction Reenergize our role as an early adopter of commercial IT products Accelerate the availability of IPv6 capable security products Address Enterprise issues early via large scale pilots Execute an aggressive but thoughtful end to end transition 10
DOD IPv6 Near Term Actions As of October 003, all Global Information Grid (GIG) assets being developed, procured or acquired shall be IPv6 capable The GIG will transition to IPv6 operations by FY08; considerable segments will transition between FY05-07 DISA will acquire, manage IPv6 addresses for DoD; establish an address space and naming convention schema Specific near-term implementation pilots, demonstrations and testbeds identified within 30 days. No IPv6 implementations on networks carrying operations traffic within DoD at this time. Development of IPv6 Transition Plan is required within 90 days 11

How Can You Assist In Our Transformation? Providing IPv6 products which: Provide at least the same level of performance and reliability as IPv4 products Allow us to take full advantage in a standardized way of the improved IPv6 features Avoid dead-ends: provide for upgrades over time as standards mature Avoid driving us to sole vendors Avoid creating interoperability problems Support end-to-end capability (e.g., IPv6 routers without necessary routing protocols or net management being established ) Provide us with an ability to have confidence in the IPv6 capability we are procuring (e.g., an IPv6 logo ) Don t differentiate your product by creating interoperability or security problems...differentiate by its performance!!! 14
