AT&T sees businesses wading slowly into IPv6

Even though we're due to run out of IPv4 addresses in the next year, AT&T doesn't expect enterprises to be fully IPv6-ready when D-Day arrives.

The biggest hurdle for a lot of customers is simply understanding the scope of what has to be done to migrate to IPv6," says Dale McHenry, the vice president of enterprise networking for AT&T Business Solutions. "There's just a lot of parts. It's amazing how broad IP addressing is with all the sub-networks that are active in our own internal systems."

The advantages and disadvantages of IPv6

pv6 is considered the future successor of the old internet protocol, Ipv4. Although Ipv6 has began serving in the current time, Ipv4 is still the main controller of the market. Yet, Ipv4 is suffering from a serious exhaustion and problems which are giving focus to the upcoming Ipv6.

Both Ipv6 and Ipv4 are Internet protocols for addresses. This means that each of them is a numerical system which allows each computer connected to the internet to be recognized by a specific IP address. This is an essential role for the internet since computers communicate using numbers rather than names. Yet, humans have developed the DNS (domain name system) to solve the problems associated with interacting with the Internet Protocols. In fact, domain names are simply alpha-numerical combinations stored in specific servers and each pointing to a specific IP address.

Microsoft’s Tech.Ed goes IPv6

Microsoft’s annual event for IT professionals, Tech.Ed, will this year deploy IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) for the first time in an effort to drive education and awareness about the technology.

Microsoft Australia’s Web platform evangelist, Jorke Odolphi, said whole industries were currently viewing IPv6 as “a bit too hard” and were unsure of how the next generation protocol worked.

“There’s been a lot of talk about IPv4 being depleted and reached exhaustion, saying the internet is getting full and that’s one way of thinking about it,” Odolphi said.

“I believe the problem comes down to application developers and people who are running software that has hard coded tendencies on IPv4. When we actually start to run into these problems, there’s going to be a whole bunch of applications that need to be updated and that’s going to be a big challenge for IT in Australia and developers.”

IPv6 Deployed But in Unexpected Places

Eric Vyncke reporting in the NetworkWorld: "IPv6 exists for more than 15 years and it is rumored to be deployed extensively in Asia and especially in Japan and China with Africa being the last continent to deploy IPv6. Another place where there should be a lot of deployments is of course in the USA with the US Government IPv6 mandates. But, when it comes to measure where web sites are actually deployed over IPv6, the rumor proves to be just a myth..."
