One of the messages that was clear at this year’s North American IPv6 Summit is that Dual-Stack is only halfway there. We don’t really want to maintain two networks (IPv4 and IPv6) forever. We want to get to IPv6-Only networks. Moving to IPv6-Only The good news is that major corporations, such as Cisco, Microsoft, and […] Continue reading →

The North American IPv6 Summit was held in Sunnyvale last month. It is always a pleasure to be in a large room with people who get it. There is no convincing that we need to give up our comfortable Linus-blanket of IPv4 for something new and different. No, everyone in the room is a convert, and […] Continue reading →

13.25 years ago, in January 2004, the University Of Hawaii hosted the Techs In Paradise conference in Honolulu. During that conference we provided IPv6 connectivity to Japan, via our STM-1 to APAN Tokyo, and NICT operated a demonstration involving radio controlled model cars with tiny cameras aboard, where drivers at JGN Tokyo could operate cars […] Continue reading →

Microsoft released the Creator Update last month (11 April 2017) with lots of interesting stuff. But the most interesting for IPv6 is support for the RDNSS field in the RA (Router Advertisement). The RDNSS field is the one that carries DNS server information in the RA. In order to run an IPv6-only SLAAC-based network the […] Continue reading →

DREN has the some of the most extensive enterprise-to-end-user experience around — John Baird (CTR) Tue, May 31, 2011 at 6:56 AM Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is nearly thirty years old. This critical part of the Internet’s infrastructure is approaching its end of life, as the last five unallocated IPv4 address blocks were delegated […] Continue reading →

The big discussion of the day was IANA address depletion, and this hot topic was probably responsible for record attendance, both in-person and over the netcast. An overview of recently attended conferences included: APRICOT/APAN IPv6 Transition (see video archive at): http://www.apricot-apan.asia/program/ipv6-trans-conf Joint Techs: http://events.internet2.edu/2011/jt-clemson/agenda.cfm?tracks=67&types=&details= And discussion of regional 6to4, which has changed recently, due to […] Continue reading →

It has been a continual surprise to me that, with so many things to do, people who work in IPv6 advocacy have spent so much time arguing about the accuracy of IPv4 depletion predictions, and asking why competing estimates didn’t match. Since two weeks ago, or so, the guessing stopped, and yesterday, a ceremony/press conference […] Continue reading →

“T-Mobile USA is keenly aware of the IPv4 address exhaustion issue and we are working diligently to ensure an orderly transition from IPv4 services to IPv6 services.  To that end, we are working with our industry partners, the IETF, and the 3GPP to develop the right standards and the right ecosystem to make the IPv6 Internet a reality.” […] Continue reading →
