IPv6 WLCG Site Survey
This questionnaire is aimed at all WLCG Sites. Please add a row for your site to the end of the table below answering the questions. This information can be modified later if/when the situation changes (please change the date field at the same time).
Metadata
- Site name in standard form
- Date in ISO 8601 notation to allow easy sorting
Questions:
- Is your site already offering connectivity, routing and naming services for IPv6 end systems (i.e. is your site already connected to the worldwide IPv6 network and ready to support IPv6 end systems)?
- If so, have you already enabled IPv6 on some of the services you manage? Please provide details on which services are enabled
- If your site is not yet IPv6-ready, are there plans for this? If so, what are the timelines?
- Does your site currently have problems with allocating a sufficient number of IPv4 addresses? Or foreseen in the near future?
- Are there other issues you are aware of? Or interesting work going on in this area?
- Any other comments?
Answers by Site
| Site Name | Date when entered | IPv6 connectivity | IPv6 enabled services | ETA for IPv6 readiness | IPv4 exhaustion issues | Other issues and related work | Comments | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NDGF | 2014-05-12 | Yes, but not to all of site | For limited services, not main storage yet | About one year | No. Storage has plenty, a lot of worker nodes use private networks | 3 out of 8 subsites are fully IPv6 connected, the rest are partially or IPv4 only | ||||
| NERSC | 2014-05-29 | Yes. | Some services yes but not all | Some partially ready now (web, dns), the rest is scheduled for Q215 | No | |||||
| praguelcg2 | 2014-05-14 | Yes. | Many services yes but not all | Partially ready now, the rest depends on service providers | Yes | |||||
| UKI-LT2-IC-HEP | 2014-05-14 | Yes | Most services enabled but not dCache storage element | Essentially ready now. Storage element should be ready when when dCache v2.9.0 goes into production | No | |||||
| UKI-LT2-QMUL | 2014-05-14 | Yes | Perfsonar, RIPE Atlas probe, test SE | Waiting for confidence that middleware won't break | No. Worker nodes behind NAT. Sufficient IPv4 for world facing services (and University sees no risk of running out in the immediate future). | |||||
| UKI-LT2-UCL-HEP | 2014-05-14 | No | No | Waiting for central IT to announce service, and middleware to be thoroughly tested | No immediate shortage | Central IT network division has set up IPv6 working group. I'm not up to date with their plans. | ||||
| UKI-LT2-RHUL | 2014-06-05 | No | No | Under plan & discussion with network people | No immediate shortage | It is on Central IT do list after 10GB link.
| ||||
| UKI-LT2-Brunel | 2014-05-14 | Yes | Perfsonar enabled. Experimental DPM storage enabled and passing Nagios tests. | Only limitation to completely convert to dual-stack is DPM-xroot: No IPv6 version available. However, we have tested and jobs can run on dual stack nodes using IPv4 xroot. | No | |||||
| UKI-SOUTHGRID-CAM-HEP | 2014-05-14 | No | No | Service available from central IT, IPv6 addresses allocated. | No immediate shortage | Central IT enthusiastic about IPv6 deployment. Lack of manpower at site | ||||
| UKI-NORTHGRID-LANCS-HEP | 2014-06-05 | To the institution, not the site. | None. | Early 2015, hope to have some IPv6 services by Q3 2014 | We have enough for the next few years. | Lack of manpower combined with little urgency makes IPv6 a low priority for our network admins, but they're engaging - it could be that we'll be their test case. | ||||
| UKI-NORTHGRID-LIV-HEP | 2014-05-14 | We have new routers with IPv6 address that can ping IPv6 internet | Not yet | Planning in progress | No immediate shortage | Dedicating resource to core network with IPv6. | Network team looks forward to offering IPv6 in the future. | |||
