Tunisia switches to “next generation” Internet Protocol
15 Sep 2009
The national commission in charge for the migration towards Internet Protocol Version IPV6 held its first meeting on September 13, 2009 in Tunis.
IPV6 is the ”next generation” protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to replace the current Internet Protocol version (”IPv4″).
The new Internet Layer Protocol for packed-switched internetworks, is endowed with a larger address space (128-bits) than IPv4 (32 bits). The new protocol will provide the country with sufficient capacity to host Internet addresses and meet growing internet needs.
