Contrary to popular belief, the rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Well, ok, no actual rumors, but hey, one can dream, huh? My spring calendar was full of events in Asia and Australia, then TechEd US seemed to suddenly appear out of nowhere! So I've been kinda swamped. I've missed writing here; it's good to get back into the...

U.S. carriers quietly developing IPv6 services

2008-04-02 00:00:00 by Carolyn Duffy Marsan in Network World on Security
 
For 10 years, there has been little North American demand for IPv6, so U.S. carriers haven't introduced IPv6 services. And without commercial IPv6 services available from carriers, U.S. government agencies and businesses can't migrate to the next-generation Internet technology. Now, that's all starting to change

With the explosion of the World Wide Web and email the 32-bit addresses Internet Protocol version 4 used would run out in the not-so-distant future. In 1994, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) established a working group to define the successor to IPv4, IPv6.
