- IPv6 news and information

I’m attending the IPv6 Conference this week.

Here is a quick overview over some of the talks and cool stuff that was being presented at day 1:

T-mobile uses NAT64 and DNS64 for their IPv6 trials.
Jan Zorz from Go6 in Slovenia is running a Apache webserver on his phone and it is accessible over Ipv6.
Cool tool to test your IPv6 connectivity from Jason Fesler at Yahoo!

Right now, day 2 is in progress. Post any questions you would like me to ask any of the speakers during day 2. Agenda is here.

A new site is now available to make it easy to determine the quality of your IPv6 connectivity. Try http://test-ipv6.com.

The RIPE NCC has posted a second article on IPv6 “ripeness” on the RIPE Labs website. Following on from the initial study (which focused on LIR’s IPv6 readiness by country), the new article looks at the IPv6 readiness of LIRs in the RIPE NCC service region, based on age, size and industry sector.

The IPv6 Forum (http://www.ipv6forum.com) Ready Logo Program Committee releases the test suite of the SIP protocol for validation and issuance of the SIPv6 Logo to the SIP Community.

“SIP and IPv6 are two good plumbing roommates. The IPv6 SIP Logo program marries them, preparing for fertile grounds. It’s high time to move to end-2-end. IPv6 and SIP are natively designed for it. The best way around something is to go through it,” said Latif Ladid, President of the IPv6 Forum & Emeritus Trustee Internet Society.

Two more IPv4 address blocks were just allocated. Blocks 177 and 181 were allocated to the central and south american registry.

6% of the IPv4 address space is left.

At Team ARIN we like to bang the IPv6 adoption tambourine. We’re happy to tell you all about the issues related to IPv4 depletion and provide the information you need to understand about preparing to transition to IPv6 addressing. Over at our “official” website, ARIN staff can help you with all your Internet number resource needs. The only thing we can’t (and shouldn’t) do is tell you what to do with your networks or how to actually deploy IPv6.
