IPv6: Why 2011 Is the Tipping Point for Service Providers
Trusted Advice for the Vendor Community

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) announced that the inventory of IPv4 addresses is now depleted, having been assigned to the five regional internet registries in early February 2011. This watershed moment ushers in the inevitable use of the IPv6 addresses starting this year.

IPv6 is a 128-bit number format that boosts the number of IP addresses to 2 to the 128th power (that’s an amazing 3.4 followed by 37 zeros!). And while IPv6 is not new, adoption has been slow as long as IPv4 addresses were still available. That changes in 2011, and vendors must be at the forefront of adoption for a host of technical, competitive and customer satisfaction reasons.

Join Richard Jimmerson, CIO at the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), and your peers at this free 60-minute webinar recording for an expert look at the dynamics that – in 2011 – will drive a rapid expansion in the deployment of IPv6. Find out:

» How regional internet registries – ARIN is one of five – will manage their dwindling inventory of IPv4 addresses (HINT: A “run on the bank” is not out of the question).

» Why network address translation (NAT) solutions – while a reasonable short term approach – offer no long-term relief

» How failing to effect a viable IPv6 plan translates to a significant competitive disadvantage for broadband and internet service providers

» Why content providers and consumer electronic companies must be at the forefront of IPv6 deployment … or their customers will suffer

» And much more

This webinar recording is your best opportunity to understand how IPv6 impacts you – whether you are a broadband service provider, a content provider, or an ISP.
