The IPocalypse Is Not A Cause For Panic
February 03, 2011 10:01 AM
Today, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ( IANA) will be passing out the last five Class A address spaces to the Regional Internet Registries (RIR), which in turn allocate IP addresses to organizations within their specific geographic regions. This marks the end of the IPv4 central pool, and the countdown to IPv4 exhaustion begins in earnest. The American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN)--which handles allocations for Canada, the United States and many Caribbean islands--is forecasting that it will run out of address space in the July-to-October time frame.Enterasys Announces IPv6 Support For IPS
December 13, 2010 10:00 AM
Enterasys Networks' intrusion prevention system (IPS) now supports IPv6, meeting the federal procurement mandate that went into effect this year and future-proofing business customers that will eventually adopt the expanded network addressing protocol. "The federal government mandates Ipv6 support; they're not using it, but everything they buy has to have it," says Charles Kolodgy, IDC research VP for secure products. "You need that check box if you want to sell to the government, especially [Department of Defense]."IP Addresses Predicted To Be Exhausted In 2011
July 28, 2010 02:44 PM
The current IPv4 protocol has fewer than 231.5 million addresses left, but the industry has been slow to adopt IPv6, which accommodates virtually unlimited unique identifiers. With less than a year's worth of Internet addresses left, the call for the technology industry to move faster to adopt the next-generation Internet protocol is growing louder.Bluecat Networks Enhances Proteus And Adonis IPAM
June 21, 2010 11:02 AM
Bluecat has updated its Proteus IP Address Management to version 3.1 and its Adonis Domain Name System/Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol has been updated to version 6.1, adding new management features and increased scalability to the existing product line. IP Address Management (IPAM) is becoming a critical element that companies no longer perform manually because the consequences of errors are extreme.Carriers Speak: Inside Tips for IPv6 Services

Enterprises are slowly starting to get their hands around IPv6 and what it means for their organizations, but service providers have been thinking IPv6 for years now. And what should a service provider be talking about when it comes to IPv6? We went to the beast itself and had four IPv6 leaders -- AT&T, NTT, Qwest and Verizon -- grade their own industry about the Dos and Don'ts of IPv6.Express Logic's NetX Duo IPv6 TCP/IP Stack Passes IPv6 Ready Logo Testing
April 26, 2010 09:16 AM
Express Logic, Inc., the worldwide leader in royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced that its NetX Duo dual IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack has successfully passed rigorous IPv6-Ready Logo testing. The IPv6 Forum, a world-wide consortium focused on providing technical guidance for the deployment of IPv6, does not allow companies to post the IPv6 Ready Logo until conformance and interoperability testing is complete in order to increase user confidence by demonstrating that IPv6 is available now and ready to be used.IPv6: Not A Simple Renumbering
April 16, 2010 12:30 PM
A decade ago, organizations went through a massive overhaul of their IT infrastructure in an effort to prevent the massive outages anticipated with Y2K. Now they need to decide whether a similar investment will be needed again. Publicly routable IPv4 address allocations are going to reach exhaustion in the next two years, if the projections from the Number Resource Organization (NRO) are to be believed. Soon after that, finding IPv4 addressing won't be easy. Carriers have been gradually preparing themselves for the migration to IPv6. Many are closely looking at installing NATing technology to extend the life of IPv4. Meanwhile the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) will change as of July 1 requiring all hardware and software purchased by US agencies to be IPv6 compatible.Are You Ready For IPv6?

If you're still on the fence about planning for IPv6 you might find this interesting: In 2010, U.S. Government agencies will require IPv6-compliant products in IT acquisitions. To find out what you should be thinking about in when it comes to IPv6 gear, we hooked up with Timothy Winters, a senior manager over at the University of New Hampshire InterOperabilty Laboratory (UNH-IOL), one of two organizations currently accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to perform the U.S. Government IPv6 (USGIPv6) compliance testing. Winters is knee-deep in the equipment side of IPv6, and he is getting a sneak peek at the equipment that enterprises will deploy tomorrow. We present the four tips he has for enterprises when evaluating IPv6 devices.The Road To IPv6 Is Paved With NATs
January 06, 2010 11:35 AM
Even though IPv6 adoption is dangerously slow, we will see adoption eventually. There are three main sections of the Internet that need to handle IPv6. The Internet networking equipment like routers, proxies and firewalls, and services like DNS and routing need to support IPv6 so that clients can talk to servers that users are connecting to from giants like Google and Amazon to smaller web, email and other hosts. Then, there are the enterprise and consumer products that will connect to Internet hosts. The question remains how to deliver IPv6 services in a non-disruptive manner to consumers in homes, small businesses and enterprises, all of whom can't control either the content being provided or the consumers visiting that content.IPv4 Runs Low Faster Than IPv6 Is Adopted

On the Seinfeld episode, "The Dealership," Kramer takes a test drive. The salesman asks about gas and Kramer responds, "There's still some overlap between the needle and the slash below the "E"...I've been in the slash many times. This is nothing. You'll get used to it." According to engineers at Hurricane Electric and iNetcore, by mid September, 2011, the Internet registries are expected to run out of routable IP addresses to assign. We'll be approaching "the slash" soon enough as addresses for users, hosts and devices will suddenly become a scarce resource. While 2012 apocalyptic visions aren't expected, the problem remains serious. Migrating to IPv6 is the leading approach, with its much larger address space of a little more than 340 trillion addresses. IPv6 could also introduce a number of engineering headaches for enterprises and consumers.« Previous Page | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Next Page »
