World IPv6 Day today

WORLD IPV6 DAY is 8 June 2011 – The Future is Forever

Today is World IPv6 Day, organised by the Internet Society (ISOC). Internet Society – World IPv6 Day.
Read the “About IPv6″ section of the Irish IPv6 Task Force website if this means nothing to you :-)
Many people are experimenting with turning on IPv6 for the first time, and/or turning off IPv4 to see if the IPv6 infrastructure can cope.
So today is a good day to test your own machine to see how well it can cope with the next generation internet protocol, IPv6: http://www.testipv6.com.
In Ireland there is a good IPv6 readiness site, http://www.ipv6ready.ie, sponsored by the INEX, the Dublin Internet Neutral Exchange.
The Irish IPv6 Task Force has also a website for the day, http://www.ipv6day.ie, the site includes a monitoring tooolset that monitors IPv6 readiness for high profile public and private sector Irish internet sites.

ENABLE (Enabling efficient and operational mobility in large heterogeneous IP networks)

ENABLE FP6 Mobile IPv6 Book
The goal of ENABLE wasto research, develop, test, integrate and evaluate mechanisms and technologies for the deployment of efficient and operational mobility as a service in large scale IPv6 network environments, taking into account also the transition scenario from IPv4.
ENABLE concentrated its research effort on the enhancement of Mobile IPv6 to offer transparent terminal mobility in large operational networks

Irish National IPv6 Centre talk

<a title="Irish National IPv6 Centre talk" “IPv6 in Singapore” & “Ad Hoc Sensor Networks”
Wednesday 17th October @ 15:00 – 17:00
Room G18, Nursing Building, Cork Road Campus
Dr. Winston Seah
Senior scientist in the Network Technology Department at
Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) Singapore
http://www.i2r.a-star.edu.sg
Presentation 1: Status of IPv6 in Singapore
This talk will provide an overview of the past, current and future efforts put into the development and deployment of IPv6 in Singapore. It will briefly highlight the past research/technical work done, current ongoing efforts to encourage the deployment of IPv6 and the problems faced.
Presentation 2: Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Research in the
Institute for Infocomm Research This seminar will first give an overview of the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Singapore and the research conducted in the Networking Protocols department in general. Following which, the talk will discuss two specific areas of research:
1. Wireless sensor networks for structural monitoring and smart buildings – we focus on the exciting application domain for wireless sensor networks and its significance in our future pervasive and trusted network infrastructure. A key research issue is the effect on the design *of protocols and algorithms when relying on ambient energy harvesting techniques for power.
2. Underwater ad hoc and sensor networks – we focus on the salient
features of underwater networks and how they influence the design of networking protocols. A brief overview of novel network architectures and protocols for underwater networks will also be presented.

Trip Report from the IPv6 Convergence event Austria June 2006

In early June I attended the “Convergence: New Opportunities for Accelerating the IPv6 Momentum” event in Vienna, Austria http://www.ipv6-convergence-vienna.net
From it I have compiled a short trip report which you can find below.
Within the report I give some comments I took on the the speakers and links to the slides they presented.
The one item you may find most interesting is the rap-up slides which is an overview of the event, it can be found online at
http://ipv6.eu/admin/bildbank/uploads/Documents/Vienna_June_2006/ipv6-convergence-summary.pdf
I hope you find this useful.

IPv6 Forum Roadmap & Vision

The IPv6 Forum has released its IPv6 Forum Roadmap & Vision document.

Ladid, Latif and Bound, Jim and Pouffary, Yanick and Rich, Yurie and Green, David (2006) IPv6 Forum Vision 2010 Roadmap. In: The IPv6 Forum World Congress, 21-22 February 2006, Las Vegas.

This document was based on discussions at the IPv6 World Congress in February 2006, Las Vegas, and on subsequent discussions.
The document combines a technical perspective and overview (drawing on the core expertise of the IETF members who specified the RFCs that make up IPv6, and related industrial and academic research expertise), and a business case overview. The report places these perspectives within the context of models predicting when IPv4 address shortage will start to happen, and when this shortage have a major impact on the Internet as we know it (e.g. Tony Hain’s IANA IPv4 Pool Depletion Model Internet protocol Journal article and Updates to model).

IPv6 Day: 6Bone closes – IPv6 no longer experimental

From the IPv6 Portal

Today 6Bone Operators & Users say bye to the experimental network which allowed, already some years ago, to turn IPv6 into the production space.

With the occasion of this virtual celebration, we have a couple of quotes from two key people on this subject:

  • Bob Fink (6Bone Project): “After more than ten years of planning, development and experience with IPv6, with efforts from all around the world, it is gratifying for me to see the 6Bone phase-out on the 6th of June 2006, having served it’s purpose to stimulate IPv6 deployment and experience, leaving IPv6 a healthy ongoing component of the future of the Internet!”
  • Brian Carpenter (IBM, co-author of multiple IPv6 RFCs and IETF chair): “It’s very encouraging to see IPv6 moving forward both technically and commercially, with its address assignments now routinely managed by the same registries that look after the rapidly diminishing IPv4 address pool. I look forward to the day the Internet reaches ten billion active nodes with public addresses, which will only be possible with IPv6.”

Users can learn how to enable IPv6, enjoy free IPv6 production connectivity and use some trial services at the IPv6 Day web site (in several languages).

HEAnet reports poor usage records for IPv6

HEAnet report that at the end of October, the host count for IPv6 shows over 1,000 AAAA records (IPv6 hosts) in all domains under .IE. This is less than 1% of number of A records (IPv4 hosts) and is considered poor. These figures highlight the need to educate the Irish networking community on the benefits of IPv6 thus encouraging the uptake of IPv6 in Ireland. For more information, visit:
