Consumer Electronics Industry Addresses Addresses

The Internet ran out of old-style addresses months ago, and the vast majority of consumers never even noticed. The Consumer Electronics Association has formed the IPv6 Transition Working Group to help make sure things stay that way. This is important to the entertainment industry’s continued growth into a future of content that is always available to consumers who expect to access it anywhere, any time and using the device of their choosing.

Chaired by John Brzozowski, chief architect, IPv6 and Distinguished Engineer, Comcast, the working group will coordinate consumer electronics manufacturers, service providers and retailers as the Internet transitions from IPv4 addressing to IPv6.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Class of 2011: IPv6

The previous two columns in this series—The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Class of 2011—discussed the Cloud and Recreational Hacking and what they mean for corporate counsel. This column looks at the third of the Horsemen: IPv6, the new protocol for the Internet that is rolling out over the next few months.

The Internet—originally known as ARPANET, among other configurations—was developed by geniuses like Jon Postel, Vint Cerf, Lawrence Roberts, and others who made the technology advances that laid the groundwork and the backbone for the worldwide web as we know it today. I was honored to have met Postel and Cerf in the 1990s when I participated in hearings before the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva. The debates then centered on access and growth. One topic that was never discussed (or if it was, only in passing) was whether the Internet would ever run out of numbers the unique identifiers known as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. After all, the key to the Internets design was that it was scalable and could grow without foreseeable limitations. At least that was the plan.

ISI Snapshot Provides Cisco Readiness Monitoring for IPv6The IPv6 Portal Main News

IPv6 is here and most companies are expected to deploy it in the next 12 to 24 months. Not all networking equipment supports or can be upgraded to use IPv6. ISI Snapshot 7.4 can inventory and tell you if your current configuration currently supports or can be upgraded to support IPv6 and helps avoid major outages caused by undetected incompatibilities.

IPv6: What you need to do now

With the official exhaustion of IPv4 open-pool addresses in February, the long migration path to IPv6 has passed another important milestone. Since the IANA IPv6 worldwide deployment announcement in 1999, the issue has never been whether, but simply when IPv6 would become the core protocol for global Internet traffic.
