Internet2 IPv6 Workshop
26-28 August 2002
University of California - Berkeley
Berkeley, California
Registration is now closed
Workshop Logistics
Hosted by CENIC
Over the course of this workshop we will design and set up a functioning
IPv6 network.
This network will be connected to the Internet2 IPv6 network, and thus to the
rest of the global IPv6 network. We will have both external and internal
routing configured. Using IPv6 transition tools, we will also gateway between
the workshop IPv6 network and the global IPv4 internet.
It is our expectation that, after
having experienced one workshop as a student, an attendee will be able to
engineer IPv6 networks within his/her campus or gigaPoP,
to explain IPv6 engineering concepts to
peers, and, in some cases, to help teach or facilitate future IPv6 workshops.
In detail, the topics we will cover at this workshop are:
- Router Configuration: How do you turn on IPv6
routing on a router?
- BGP Configuration: Students will configure BGP
sessions between the campus, gigaPoP, and core routers.
- Addressing: We will discuss how addressing works,
what types of addressing schemes are possible given the number of addresses
available, how allocations are made, and current best practices.
- Bind configuration: DNS is extremely important in
IPv6. We will address how to populate a server with AAAA records, and how to
configure it to perform both forward and reverse lookups. We will discuss
best practices, bind versions required, and potential pitfalls.
- Application Space: We will have some students set
up IPv6-aware servers, including HTTP and Mail. By the end of the session,
we expect to be able to send and receive mail, telnet or ssh and use web
access over IPv6 transport.
- Transition Issues: How do you make your IPv6
network IPv4-aware and vice versa? How extensively can you do dual stack
implementations and where do you need to do translation?
- Discussion Issues: There are several aspects of
IPv6 that we will take some time to discuss. Among them are the effects of
multihoming, how auto-configuration affects network administrators and
network management.
- Services: What IPv6 services should a campus or gigapop currently offer?
What are the best known practices for distributing IPv6 throughout a campus
or state network?

The workshop will begin on Monday, 26 August at 1pm and conclude Wednesday,
28 August at 12 noon at Barrows Hall at the University of California -
Berkeley campus.
- Registration
Registration is now closed
- Accommodations
A recommended hotel is the
Hotel Durant .
The UCB website also has a list of area hotels:
http://www.berkeley.edu/calparents/guide/visiting/stay.html
Some highlights on the list:
The Berkeley Marina Radisson is about 2 miles from campus. It's right by
the Bay and has a free hourly shuttle to the North Berkeley BART
station (which is one stop from the Downtown Berkeley station that's close
to campus).
There's also the Downtown Oakland Marriott, which is pretty nice. It's
right on top of a BART station that's 4 stops away from Downtown Berkeley.
(Note that some of the other hotels that are listed in the "East Bay
Hotels that are close to BART stations" are actually pretty far away.)
- Directions
- Experience Expectations
While a variety of IPv6-related topics will be covered, the primary focus
will be on understanding how to configure routers to support IPv6.
Participants with
backgrounds in configuring campus routers will benefit the most from the
workshop labs
- What to Bring
Students are asked to bring a laptop capable of running an IPv6 stack. Linux or *BSD
based systems will offer the most tools and applications, but Windows 2000 or XP are
also suitable. We prefer that these stacks be installed prior to the workshop, but
help will be available at the workshop if that is not possible. See this list of
IPv6 set-up sites. for more information
