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
Cisco Catalyst 6500: Building IPv6-Ready Campus Networks: The Internet has grown so rapidly that the IPv4 standard can no longer support the number of users and functions. Features such as Network Address Translation NAT can help overcome address-space limitations, but they also make bidirectional communication for primary triple-play (data, voice, and video) applications more challenging. ...; Tags: Cisco Systems Inc., IPv6, Network, Networking; White papers 2009-06-01
A Link Signature Based DDoS Attacker Tracing Algorithm Under IPv6: The ipv6 security architecture, IPSec, plays a positive role in the protection of IPv6 networks. To some special attacks, especially DDoS attacks, IPSec appears relatively weak, because IPSec can only defend against DDoS attacks that spoof their source addresses. In cases where attackers launch DDoS attacks with their real identity,...; Tags: Algorithm, IPv6, Attacker, Distributed Denial Of Service, IPSec, VPNs, Security, Networking; White papers 2009-04-01
Security holes in Apple Time Capsule, AirPort Base Station: Apple has released a firmware update with fixes for three documented security vulnerabilities affecting its Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station products.

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
Preparing for IPv6 - Assuring the Self-Defending Network: Today and Tomorrow: Building a Self-Defending Network to reduce risk through greater automation of information security is critical to delivering next generation e-gov solutions while improving FISMA scores.

The HTML standards process grinds on: There is a Moore's Second Law effect at work here. As standards become more complex they take more time to coalesce. And as with other Moore's Law artifacts this also tends to move geometrically, not arithmetically. by Dana Blankenhorn; Tags: HTML, IPv6, Standards, Quality, Networking, Open Source, Business Operations, Dana Blankenhorn; Blog posts 2008-12-29

IPv6: What you need to know: Converting to IPv6 is a major undertaking -- which may be why there aren't more network administrators excited about it. But like it or not, it's headed your way. In this collection of articles, Michael Kassner addresses real-world issues like why IPv6 is needed, what improvements it offers, what security...; Tags: IPv6, Network Administrator, Michael Kassner, Networking, Telecommunications; Download resources 2008-12-04
IPv6 Network Security: Off late technology has matured and facilitates networking. With data demand increasing exponentially over the networks, security is a rising concern. The data over a network is highly susceptible to risks of both deliberate attacks and unintentional events. However, it also critical in today's business requirements that all networked devices...; Tags: IPv6, Network, Networking, Telecommunications, Security; White papers 2008-11-13
10+ answers to your questions about IPv6: Michael Kassner recently asked TechRepublic members to share their questions about IPv6, promising to submit them to the experts at ARIN and Command Information.

How to Improve the Efficiency of IPv6 Handovers in IEEE 802.16 Networks: The first generation of fully conformant IEEE 802.16-based networks is being deployed throughout the world. Most of these networks do not support full mobility, due to radio access layer limitations. Newer solutions, based on IEEE 802.16-2005 standard, offer mobility support for subscriber stations. Unfortunately, after quickly changing the point of...; Tags: IPv6, Reconfiguration, Mobility, IEEE 802.16, WiMAX, Wireless And Mobility, Networking, Telecommunications; White papers 2008-09-28
