ARIN CEO reminds: be prepared for Internet numbering expansion: Thank youAppreciate it, Joe. Will new routers work?I have a fairly new router, but in all of the screens it only shows IPv4 addresses :(. Any idea what the state of home routers is?I imagine mixed systems will still be possible - as long as your router is capable of...; Tags: NETWORKING, TELECOMMUNICATIONS, Routers & switches, Network technology, IPv6, IPv4, router, Internet; Discussion threads 2009-10-29

Why Install IPv6 Instead Of IPv4?: The original framers of ARPAnet did not foresee the growth of what is now known as the Internet, or that the IPv4 address structure would fall short of the addresses needed, or all the new devices that would need IP addressing. Consequently, the IPv4 addresses are being exhausted. IPv6 satisfies...; Tags: IPv4, IPv6, Networking; White papers 2009-01-16

IPv6: Why Move to the Next Generation of the Internet Protocol?: The vast majority of networks today, including the Internet, are based on the Internet Protocol, version 4 (IPv4) protocol. Developed over 25 years ago, IPv4 is showing its age. Its 32-bit addressing cannot accommodate the explosive growth worldwide of network-connected devices, particularly in Asia and China. It is estimated that...; Tags: IPv4, IPv6, Dell Computer Corp., IP, Networking; White papers 2008-05-01
Migrating to IPv6 on the Solaris OS: The biggest difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is addressing, because IPv6 uses 128 bits for addressing compared to IPv4, which uses 32 bits. IPv6 can be used to specify 2 128 (about 3.4 x 10 38) addresses or about 5 x 10 28 unique addresses for each of the 6.5...; Tags: IPv4, IPv6, Operating System, Sun Solaris, Networking, Telecommunications; White papers 2008-03-01

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, IPv6, Network, Network Security, Node, Teredo, Networking, Security; 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.
