Business case, Equipment, IPv4 Exhaustion

Prepare for massive and explosive cellular growth
12 Oct 2011

It’s generally assumed that the growth in mobile connections during the next few years will be great but there are a couple of things that should be noted. One is that this simply isn’t going to happen without a successful rollout of IPv6. Also, even if people average more than one device, the fact that [...]

Enterprise IPv6 address planning considerations
27 Jan 2011

With interest in IPv6 accelerating and adoption heating up more attention is being paid to address planning, but where do you start? Organizations should already be working toward securing an adequately sized address block. You want to move quickly to avoid the possibility of demand exceeding the capacity of Regional Internet Registries and Service Provider’s ability [...]

Top 10 tasks for IPv6 application developers
24 Jan 2011

Many IT people, who are unfamiliar with IPv6, believe the responsibility for IPv6 deployment falls on the network-teams. However, those who are knowledgeable about IPv6 realize the migration to IPv6 will involve any system that uses an IP address. As the network teams prepare the infrastructure for the addition of IPv6 we should alert our [...]

2010 in IP addresses: 225 million down, 496 million to go
04 Jan 2011

As of January 1, 2011, the number of unused IPv4 addresses stands at 495.66 million. Exactly a year earlier, the number of available addresses was 721.06 million. So we collectively used up 225.4 million addresses in 2010. 242 million, really, if we ignore the unusual circumstance that Interop gave back nearly 17 million addresses. At [...]

IPv6: the time has come
23 Dec 2010

You’ve probably heard of IPv6 by now if you’re watching Internet technology at all, but even with new urgency to its deployment, there aren’t many people saying much about it. There’s a big problem with that. Over a decade ago, Internet architects realized that the current Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) used for identifying systems on [...]

IPv6 deployment
01 Sep 2010

On a whim, I decided to deploy IPv6. And all I can say is: It’s a lot easier than you think. I’m writing down a few notes here from the non-network-engineer’s point of view. This is supposed to be the first from a series of postings about my IPv6 deployment. More from binblog… Bookmark and share...

The advantages and disadvantages of IPv6
06 Aug 2010

IPv6 is considered the future successor of the old internet protocol, IPv4. Although Ipv6 has began serving in the current time, IPv4 is still the main controller of the market. Yet, IPv4 is suffering from a serious exhaustion and problems which are giving focus to the upcoming IPv6. Both IPv6 and IPv4 are Internet protocols for [...]

Transitioning to IPv6: How carriers are testing IP services to meet deadlines
05 Aug 2010

Though IPv6 is in its infancy, making the transition out of IPv4 is essential but challenging. When TMC last spoke with IPv6 expert Kowsik Guruswamy, co-founder and CTO of Mu Dynamics, a provider of technology for testing IP services, he said there are three pain points carriers will need to address for a clean transition: [...]

What You Need to Know about IPv6
07 Jul 2010

The Internet promises unlimited connectivity, but such connectivity requires that computers and devices find one another through a common address plan. The current plan, in place since the late 1970s, is running out of open addresses, and a new scheme called IPv6 is being put in place to power the Internet’s next stage of growth. More [...]
