Implementation plans |
Americana Digital (AS28289) has been implementing IPv6 since 2007, and there is currently native IPv6 connectivity from the network core to its clients. The company also supports and participates in several projects aimed at promoting IPv6.
BT Latin America's MPLS network supports IPv6 using the 6PE feature since early 2007. This feature allows border routers to operate in dual-stack mode, simultaneously supporting both IPv4 and IPv6, while also incorporating certain new forwarding and control features for transporting IPv6 packets in an MPLS network.
Our clients' IPv4 and IPv6 Internet traffic is transported over BT Latin America's MPLS network. At IPv6 level, the network has several upstream providers connected to the Miami POP and an important number of peerings in different countries where the network is present. So far we only have clients with IPv6 in Argentina and Venezuela, but we continue to promote IPv6 deployment among our customers throughout the region to ensure that our IPv6 traffic continues to grow.
The presentation given at the LACNIC X event describing our IPv6 implementation in general can be found at the following link: http://www.lacnic.net/sp/eventos/lacnicx/flip6.html.
The presentation given at the LACNIC XI event describing our IPv6 implementation in Venezuela can be found at the following link: http://www.lacnic.net/sp/eventos/lacnicxi/flip6.html.
The interface with Transtelco supports IPv6; BGP sessions have been established to announce the prefix assigned by LACNIC. The next step is to conduct testing from the LAN. We are waiting for our provider to update its server to support IPv6 in order to be able to offer the new version of the IP protocol to our customers.
REACCIUN (Venezuela's National Academic Network) deployed the IPv6 protocol in 2005. Since then, dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 has been supported, while native unicast and multicast IPv6 sessions have been configured with all major national universities as well as with the advanced networks that are part of RedCLARA and Internet2. In addition, native unicast IPv6 sessions have been configured with our commercial Internet access providers. Together with IPv6 sessions, REACCIUN uses the BGP routing protocol.
The CENIT Foundation promotes IPv6 deployment at national level and, therefore, one of its goals for 2010 is the adoption of this protocol on the part of the remaining members of the National Academic Network, as well as its dissemination among national Internet access providers.
They are prepared to assign /48 blocks to xDSL clients with PPPoE and users of dedicated lines via Metro Ethernet.
Hurricane Electric and CABASE are currently the peers with which BGP can exchange IPv6 routes, while we are waiting for Telecom, Claro, Telefónica and Global Crossing to enable native access. Some of these projects are quite advanced and we hope to be able to use native access for IPv6 Week; otherwise, IPv6 access will be provided via H.E. IPv6 connectivity will be provided free of charge; all customers must do is request the service through a simple online form.
ERT SA ESP Technology Resource Company has implemented IPv6 on its network with the IPv6 prefix: 2800:9 F0 :: / 32 which is announced on the Internet through the AS 27845.
Now available to all subscribers of connectivity with E.R.T through dual stack.
This project will also include mass, corporate, educational and government users by providing all the engineers knowledge.
The ETB network is announcing IPv6 with several upstream providers connected at the Miami POP. Tunnel configurations will be used in a first experimental stage. Dual-stack connections are currently in place. Native configuration will be approved at a later stage.
ETB's MPLS network supports IPv6 using the 6PE and 6VPE RFCs, allowing customers to connect domains without IPv6 through the IPv4 backbone. Native configuration will be approved at a later stage.
Global Crossing was the first-and remains the only-global communications provider with IPv6 natively deployed in both its private and public backbone networks; the company is uniquely qualified to enable a transition to IPv6.
More than 40 customers with IPv6 services and more than 5 years experience in operating IPv6. Global Crossing customers may mix both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols on the same port and within the same VPN.
The IPv6 protocol is natively deployed based on the MPLS backbone using the 6PE feature.
We have IPv6 peering with more than 20 partners.
Google's global network supports IPv6, which allows establishing IPv6 peering with those ISPs that request it, at any POP.
In addition, a very high percentage of applications have been migrated to IPv6 (Search, Gmail, YouTube, Maps, etc.).
GTD's upstream providers Global Crossing, Telecom Italia, and Sprint are currently providing us IPv6 transit, and we currently announce the 200:160::/32 block assigned by LACNIC and address blocks assigned to other customers for which we provide IPv4/IPv6 transit to these upstream providers.

Our core, distribution and access equipment are configured in dual-stack mode, which allows offering our customers IPv6/IPv4 Internet transit.
All our customers have been assigned their 2800:160:XXXX::/48 IPv6 address block and advised that as of August, 2009 their IPv6 links are available and that, by default, new customers will be assigned IPv6/IPv4.
We also offer our customers tools to allow them to check their IPv6 connectivity.

In addition, we have implemented IPv6 on our resolvers or DNS cache. This allows us to provide domain name resolution over both protocols, thus enabling both IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity with Root Servers.
On 25 August, we started providing native IPv6 connectivity to the F Root Server in Chile.
GTD enabled IPv6 on its infrastructure in 2007. Since then, we have constantly been promoting IPv6 adoption among our clients.
Although Internexa is a Colombian company, since January it offers native IPv6 not only in Colombia but also in Ecuador, Peru and Chile.
IPLAN is in the process of deploying IPv6 on its network and service platform. The company has already implemented 6PE on its MPLS backbone and is in the process of starting up peering and DNS service. The project's next phase is to integrate other service platforms (telephony, IP, datacenter, collaboration platforms, etc.).
It is expected that beta testing will be conducted with friendly customers in the fourth quarter of 2010, before going into production in the first quarter of 2011.
NAP.EC is the local Internet exchange point located in Ecuador. Native IPv6 support has been available for peering connections since early 2009. The first official traffic exchange session was configured in March 2010.
NET started to offering Native Dual Stack for broadband customers in August 2012
NipCable do Brasil Telecom LTDA is a Brazilian operator with IPv6 transit throughout its network. Its website already provides dual-stack connectivity (IPv4 and IPv6), and more than 10 of its customers have implemented native IPv6 on their networks.
NIC Chile, the Chilean ccTLD operator, enabled experimental IPv6 connectivity in 2006 and has had native IPv6 connectivity since mid 2008.
NIC Chile is committed to this technology since 2005, when, together with LACNIC, it organized the country's first "IPv6 Tour," an event that was repeated in 2007. The domain name registration system also allows IPv6 addresses in the .CL DNS zone since 2007.
NIC Chile's networks currently have production quality IPv6 connectivity, including participation in the "Google over IPv6" project since 2007.
The next steps include making the DNS service available for the .CL domain web interface for domain name registration, whois, and secondary DNS resolution service over IPv6.
Most of the services offered to the public are provided over IPv6. For years the DNS service has been offered over IPv6 with servers located in the US; however, other services pose a greater challenge as the servers are located in Mexico. The two main connectivity providers (Telmex and Axtel) installed native IPv6 connections to the USA during the first half of 2011; as a result, Mexico now has native multi-homed IPv6 connectivity. In the past weeks we have worked intensely on preparing the infrastructure and we now have IPv6 for the following:
- www.nic.mx
- www.registry.mx
- whois.mx
- whois.mx,TCP/43
An IPv6 BGP session was established with Hurricane Electric, where the 2800:940::/32 block is announced. At the moment Nodosud is discussing the possibility of establishing IPv6 BGP sessions with Global Crossing and Telecom. We already have IPv6 DNS and email servers on our own network.
