NYC World IPv6 Launch event – Jun 6 @ NYU

Posted on by joly

World IPv6 Day

Organized by the Internet Society, World IPv6 Launch on 6 June 2012 is the designated date when organizations across the industry – including Internet service providers (ISPs), hardware makers, and web companies – prepare for and permanently enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on their products and services as Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address space runs out.

Last year, major web companies and other industry participants successfully enabled and tested IPv6 on their main websites for 24 hours on World IPv6 Day, which was held on 8 June 2011.  World IPv6 Day only involved websites,  and was just a day, this year in contrast the emphasis is across the entire spectrum of the Internet industry and is permanent.

Similar to last year’s successful NYC event, on Wednesday June 6 2012 ISOC-NY will present an informal discussion and celebration meetup at NYU starting at 7pm EDT.  Among those attending will be Phillip Koblence, VP Operations (NYI), and Sagi Brody of Webair who will both give a brief talks on their company’s IPv6 implementation efforts, after which we will repair to a nearby drinking establishment for social activities.

What: World IPv6 Launch Discussion and Celebration.
When: Wed. June 6, 2012  – 7pm-8.30pm
Where: Courant Institute NYU, Rm 201, 251 Mercer St. NYC
Who:  Free. Public welcome, especially network admins!
Hashtags: #v6launch ; #ipv6
RSVP: email | facebook | meetup
Webcast: Not planned at this time.

e-meeting – Dec 15 – Deployment & Operationalization Hub (DO Hub)

Posted on by joly

The Internet Society will hold an e-meeting on 15 December to introduce a new initiative that collects, creates, and promotes detailed deployment information for IPv6, DNSSEC, and other future standards developed by the IETF. The Deployment & Operationalization Hub (DO Hub)* will work with first adopters to collect and create resources that are easy to understand and quickly actionable by the greater operations community, and will actively solicit the larger community for advice on what deployment topics to cover next.

Many Chapter members are among the first adopters of new technologies and may be interested in helping provide deployment information via the new DO Hub initiative. In addition, the information DO Hub collects will be valuable to Chapter members actively seeking to deploy new technologies. DO Hub events will also provide an avenue for Chapter members to meet their colleagues in person.

ISOC Chapters discuss IPv6 transition

Posted on by joly

ISOC logo On September 22 2009 ISOC Chapters held an E-meeting to discuss two new briefings on IPv6 deployment.

Amongst the conclusions were that, for competitive advantage and business continuity, stakeholders – rather than sitting on their hands waiting for a ‘killer app’ or an IPv4 ‘crisis’ – need to institute a robust policy of factoring IPv6 deployment into network ‘refresh’ cycles. Chapters can help by raising awareness. Governments, in particular, can be prevailed upon to assist the process by leading by example. Addressing is as important as broadband, both are important enablers of innovation and growth.

The Seven Stages of IPv6 Adoption

Posted on by joly

ISOC logoAs part of the IETF 74 meeting in San Francisco, on 24 March the Internet Society organized a panel of experts from industry and other thought leaders on the to discuss the pressing need to adopt Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) to ensure the continued growth of the Internet as a platform for innovation.

IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol (IP) standard intended to supplement, and eventually replace, the IPv4 protocol most Internet services use today. To help ensure the continued rapid growth of the Internet as a platform for innovation, IPv6 tackles some of IPv4’s shortcomings – most notably a limited amount of remaining addresses. While the technical foundations of IPv6 are well established, significant work remains to deploy and begin using IPv6 capabilities.

Because IPv6 is central to the continued growth and stability of the Internet, the Internet Society is working with its members and other organizations to promote its deployment by sharing information and helping to build the required operational capability among the Internet community.

Posted on by joly

Dr. Jun-ichiro "Itojun" Hagino

Tokyo, Japan; Reston, VA; and Geneva, Switzerland – 25 November 2008 – A new award, providing recognition and support for those progressing IPv6 development on the Internet, was announced today, following last week’s 73rd meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

The “Itojun Service Award” honours the memory of Dr. Jun-ichiro “Itojun” Hagino, who passed away in 2007, aged just 37. The award, established by the friends of Itojun and administered by the Internet Society (ISOC), recognises and commemorates the extraordinary dedication exercised by Itojun over the course of IPv6 development.
