Australian IPv6 Summit
I’m heading off to the Australian IPv6 summit next week. See http://www.ipv6.org.au/summit/index.php
I spent quite a bit of time in the past 10 years working with the IPv6 people worldwide. I ran the 6BONE IPv6 testing backbone for the Australian region, did work on IPv6 tunneling on demand gateways, designed protocols for TCP connection survivability on network topology changes, and developed bump-in-the-stack designs for IPv6 TCP/IP protocol stacks in Trumpet Winsock.
I gave it a rest over the past 5 years or so as it seemed that the developed world has a rather short sighted attitude to IPv6. I’m heading off to this conference so that I can again touch base with people and catch up with the latest developments. Finally the IPv4 addresses are running out (predicted around 2010 +/- 1 year) so it would seem that now the pressure is on.
P!
