The Internet Protocol required upgrading…solution…IPv6
Slowly, we’re making progress mainstreaming IPv6. I wanted to post on a few interesting developments.
Netflix has IPv6
Late last month, Netflix got an IPv6 allocation from ARIN, and they’re advertising it in BGP. It doesn’t appear that they’re offering any services over IPv6 yet, but this is a good first step. I look forward to the [...]
Google has begun preaching the wonders of IPv6 in the hope more awareness will help expedite the transition from the legacy IPv4 networks most people use today.
During a presentation at this year’s linux.conf.au in Hobart, senior Google software engineer Angus Lees recalled how Google’s IPv6 efforts started as a covert, hobbyist project about two years [...]
2009 will undoubtedly be another exciting year of interesting developments in the technology industry. We can expect to see a combination of emerging technologies, and the mainstreaming of technology that we have seen coming for some time. An enabler for these new technologies is IPv6.

2008 was sort of a milestone year for IPv6. Foremost there was the much-touted US OMB Mandate which everyone got excited about back about 2005: By June of this year all federal agencies’ “infrastructure (network backbones) must be using IPv6 and agency networks must interface with this infrastructure.” In the years between that [...]

The NRO consists of five Regional Internet Registries (RIR), each representing a different part of the world: Africa, Asia, the North Atlantic region, Latin America and parts of the Caribbean, and Europe and the Middle East. The registries are in charge of critical internet resource allocation and the management of IP address data.According to the [...]
The IPv6 Workgroup of the Linux Foundation has announced that all major Linux distributions are now in compliance with Department of Defense certification policies, several months after the DoD began enforcing the requirements in its procurement practices. The compliance effort was driven by a collaboration involving IBM, Red Hat, Novell, Nokia, and several other major [...]
Mercedes-Benz is offering a glimpse into the future with myCOMAND, an internet-based infotainment system as part of a special preview during the Los Angeles Auto Show. myCOMAND is said to be especially efficient and user-friendly. Using internet connectivity, all data and information is kept fresh and current at all times without the need for software [...]
At the RIPE meeting in Dubai two weeks ago, Google presented results from a study about how IPv6-capable “ordinary users” are. And the results are surprising. While an earlier study by Arbor Networks showed only 0.0026 percent of all traffic was IPv6 enabled, Google determined that world wide, 0.238 percent of their users’ systems have [...]
Search engine giant Google is taking the next steps towards IPv6. Admittedly, as Google developer and IPv6 expert Lorenzo Colitti said at the RIPE meeting in Dubai, having an IPv6 entry for the central www.google.com web page is still regarded as too ambitious. The problem is that about one in 10,000 users won’t be able [...]
