CloudFlare unveils free IPv6 translation service

Startup CloudFlare is turning the economics of IPv6 transition on its head with a free cloud-based IPv6-to-IPv4 translation service that is available to website operators starting today.

Dubbed Automatic IPv6, the new service is made possible through the use of proxies at CloudFlares 14 data centers worldwide. The proxies translate incoming IPv6 traffic into IPv4 before being sent to a website. The service also provides IPv4-to-IPv6 translation services for new websites particularly those in Asia that are being built using IPv6 only.

IPv6 is the long-anticipated upgrade to the Internets main communications protocol, which is known as IPv4. Carriers, hosting companies and enterprises are migrating to IPv6 because the Internet is running out of IPv4 addresses. IPv6 is not backward compatible with IPv4, so website operators must deploy translation services or run both protocols if they want to be reachable by all Internet users in the future.

New decoders identify IPv6 traffic on IPv4 networks

Fidelis Security Systems has announced the release of new cyber decoders to provide better visibility of enterprise activity.

The Fidelis XPS IP Tunnel cyber decoder provides full inspection of sessions running over 6to4, 6over4, Teredo and GRE tunnels; the IPsec decoder identifies various types of IPv6 and IPsec tunnelling activity across IPv4 networks.

Fidelis said they can be used to detect the presence of tunnelled traffic and apply content inspection and malware analysis of the tunnelled sessions.

CloudFlare’s Automatic IPv6 Gateway

Today Cloudflare is launching an Automatic IPv6 Gateway. To enable it, sign up for CloudFlare or login to your account and visit your CloudFlare Settings page.

CloudFlare.com > My websites > Settings (pull down menu) > CloudFlare settings

You can choose two options: (FULL) which will enable IPv6 on all subdomains that are CloudFlare Enabled, or (SAFE) which will automatically create specific IPv6-only subdomains (e.g., www.ipv6.yoursite.com). You do not need to change any of your DNS settings. After it is up and running, you can test your IPv6 compatibility and get a badge for your site.

Cloudflare is providing the Automatic IPv6 Gateway for free to all CloudFlare users.

Noodzakelijke overstap naar IPv6

Door een alsmaar grootschaliger gebruik van het internet raken de huidige adresreeksen op hetinternet (IPv4) op. Om ervoor te zorgen dat dit niet tot problemen leidt is er een nieuw adressysteem, genaamd IPv6, bedacht. Het is belangrijk dat Nederlandse bedrijven, internet service providers, overheden, onderwijsinstellingen en ook particulieren gaan beseffen dat de overstap naar dit nieuwe adressysteem noodzakelijk is en dat zij tijdig maatregelen kunnen en moeten nemen om de overstap naar IPv6 mogelijk te maken (en de kosten onder controle te houden). Goede implementaties van IPv6 kunnen volgens de IPv6 Task Force een voorbeeldfunctie hebben.

IPv6 adoption in the data center

Owen DeLong is an IPv6 Evangelist and Director of Professional Services at Hurricane Electric, a large provider of IPv6-native Internet backbone and colocation services.

Most data center operators know that a failure to transition to IPv6 will eventually restrict access to connected resources and degrade communications efficiency. But one lesson of World IPv6 Day (held June 8, 2011) is that IPv6 adoption can bring immediate benefits in the form of improved network topologies and security today.

H3C builds IPv6 for University of Hong Kong

The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is designing and building its next-generation IPv6-ready network infrastructure with the help of IP networking solution provider H3C.

HKU has been continually upgrading the campus network in recent years and its latest initiative will cover several areas such as its main campus, student residential halls and remote sites such as Cyberport.

The network will also cover the Faculty of Medicine at Sassoon Road and Queen Mary Hospital in Pokfulam, as well as the remote offices in the Kennedy Town Centre and the new Centennial Campus.

This Asian university is currently using two high-performance H3C S9500E core switches to provide the 10GE backbone that links all existing campuses.

HKU has upgraded over 350 building and floor switches to H3C S5120-EI and S5500-EI to boost performance and security.
