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 [...]
Derek Morr has written a great article on IPv6 dealing with security issues.
IPv6 is not a security issue

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 [...]
A study carried out by Google employees and presented at the RIPE meeting in Dubai examined how widespread use of version 6 of the internet protocol, IPv6, is among end users. The study drew some surprising conclusionsPDF. For instance, just this past September, Arbor Networks placed worldwide use of IPv6 at only 0.0026 per cent, [...]
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 [...]
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.
