The Internet Protocol required upgrading…solution…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 [...]

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 [...]
DirectAccess uses IPv6-over-IPsec (IPv6 should already be on every administrator’s mind anyway — I wrote about IPv6 here), and the advantages are obvious: through Group Policy settings, mobile computers can be managed any time the computer has Internet connectivity (and not only when the computer connects to the network). This ensures that even mobile computers [...]
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 [...]
It’s called “The Internet of Things” — at least for now. It refers to an imminent world where physical objects and beings, as well as virtual data and environments, all live and interact with each other in the same space and time. In short, everything is interconnected.

The General Services Administration has made considerable progress in improving the efficiency of the buildings it manages for the government, in part by using networked technology to automate environmental sensing and controls.
“So far, IPv4 has been adequate” for the jobs it has been asked to do, said Kevin Kampschroer, director of GSA’s Office of [...]
