Federal Agencies and the Transition to IPv6: Although migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 may be strategically and technically challenging, many organizations are actually more prepared to begin the transition than they may realize: much of the current IPv4 infrastructure is IPv6 capable, and approximately one third of the deployed desktop systems are IPv6 capable. Additionally, a key...; Tags: IPv4, IPv6, Agency, Networking, Telecommunications; White papers 2007-02-01

The Teredo Protocol: Tunneling Past Network Security and Other Security Implications: Teredo is a platform-independent protocol developed by Microsoft, which is enabled by default in Windows Vista. Teredo provides a way for nodes located behind an IPv4 NAT to connect to IPv6 nodes on the Internet. However, by tunneling IPv6 traffic over IPv4 UDP through the NAT and directly to the...; Tags: IPv4, Network, Network Security, Teredo, Security, Networking; White papers 2006-11-22
The truth about the IPv6 transition: The truth about the IPv6 transitionI'm in total agreement....... IPv6 is a solution whose problem has vanished. Efficient IPv4 and NAT will manage very nicely. In the worst scenario I can think of there are 6 billion humans on the planet and IPv4 supports a few billion addresses. That probably...; Tags: NETWORKING, TELECOMMUNICATIONS, Network technology, IPv4, IPv6, Network Address Translation, IP address, IP; Discussion threads 2006-11-13

Robert Cringely shows blatant ignorance of networking: Normally I don't get too worked up when someone makes a complete fool out of themselves on networking issues but when a well known pundit like Robert Cringely of PBS writes an article that's filled with errors from beginning to finish about IPv6, I have to ...; Tags: Security, Infrastructure, Mobile/Wireless, Networking, Vista, Desktop, Linux, IPv6; Blog posts 2006-11-06
DNS fear mongering and Windows Vista: DNS fear mongering and Windows VistaOpenDNSI agree George.This is what I like to call 'borrowing trouble'.As web infrastructure continues to expand, so too will DNS.I personally have found using changing my DNS setting to point to [url=http://www.opendns.com]OpenDNS[/url] has made a big difference in overall web page retrieval times.Faster, safer DNS...; Tags: NETWORKING, Domain names, TELECOMMUNICATIONS, Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Microsoft Windows, IPv6, DNS, IPv4, Microsoft Windows Vista; Discussion threads 2006-09-06
The Design and Implementation of a Dual-Stack Mobile Network Using IPv6 Only Network Infrastructure: This paper discusses a mechanism which enables network mobility (NEMO) in both IPv4 and IPv6. There is an IETF standard NEMO protocol, NEMO Basic Support (NEMO BS). However it is designed only for IPv6 mobile networks. The basic concept of NEMO BS is a kind of dynamic tunnel configuration protocol....; Tags: IPv4, IPv6, Network Infrastructure, Mobile, Network, NEMO BS, Networking, Telecommunications; White papers 2006-06-07
