IPv6 and Autonomics Survey

2) Network Management

	Strongly disagree	Disagree	Neither agree nor disagree	Agree	Strongly agree
Are today’s networks a lot more complex than five years ago?
Is there a shortage of appropriately trained network engineers to manage such networks?
Is interoperability of major concern in network management?
Automatic network management tools are quite popular
Is network management a significant component of an enterprise overall IT budget?
Most of the network management problems are repetitive in nature

3) What level of effort is spent by network engineers on routine network management tasks?

	Very Low	Low	Medium	High	Very High
Fault management
Configuration and change management
Performance management
Security management

4) The network management costs are predominantly devoted towards:
Running the business (maintain)
Changing the business (new initiatives)

5) What % (approximate) of your IT budget is spent on the following?

	5%-20%	20%-40%	40%-60%	60%-80%	>80%
Hardware
Software
People

6) An ideal IT budget distribution would be

	5%-20%	20%-40%	40%-60%	60%-80%	>80%
Hardware
Software
People

7) What percentage of your total traffic is IPv6?
None
<5%
5%-20%
20%-50%
50%-80%
>80%

8) Autonomics awareness

	Yes	No	Can't say
Are you aware of autonomics?
Are you involved in any research in autonomicity with IPv4?
Are you involved in any research in autonomicity with IPv6?
Will IPv6 help better define & deploy autonomicity?
Do you make any difference between autonomic and autonomous?
Is autonomicty similar to auto configuration?
Did you use any autonomic network or applications?
Do you think autonomic networking will be deployed within the next three years?
Have you heard about the ETSI AFI group (Autonomic Future Internet)?
Do you wish to participate in the standardisation work done by AFI?
Do you think the power of autonomics can drive us towards novel green technology solutions or provide energy savings for telecom and enterprise networks?

9) Are you aware of any autonomic application, if so what?

Do you use any autonomic application, if so what?

Are you considering any autonomic application, if so what?

11) What will be the likely benefits of autonomics to users? Click one or more
Ease of use
No need to know about network (Infrastructure agnostic)
Saves me time
Reduces my down time
Improves performance of applications

12) What are the triggers for moving toward IPv6?

	Strongly disagree	Disagree	Neither agree nor disagree	Agree	Strongly agree
Convergence on ICT technologies and services that needs such protocol
Regulation that requires me to move towards IPv6
IPv6 adoption can lead to novel green technology solutions or provide energy savings
There is a market demand
Because of IPv6 security features
Lack of IPv4 addresses
Low operational expenses (Opex)
I am running applications requiring IPv6 features
Allows permanent addresses
Restore end-to-end transparency
Pave the way to triple play (data voice & video) model
Allows push services
Better handling of multicasting
Enhanced QoS
Improved mobility mechanisms
Easy plug and play/Autoconfiguration services

13) What are the inhibitors to IPv6 adoption?

	Strongly disagree	Disagree	Neither agree nor disagree	Agree	Strongly agree
Standardisation is not yet stable
Lack of product certification
It is not a mature enough technology
Lack of regulation enforcing IPv6 adoption
Cost too much for return
Lack of market demand
IPv4 is just good enough
Lack of security features
Lack of available applications
Lack of available hardware solutions
Lack of IPv6 services

14)Would you consider moving to a self-managed network?
No
Unlikely
Would trial
Would test
Yes
