Day One Thursday 26 January -

Martin J. Levy (Hurricane Electric) - The state of the IPv6 global Internet

After many years of pushing for IPv6 awareness; it's clear that 2012 is THE year for IPv6 adoption. The World IPv6 Launch on 6/6/2012 will commit a large number of players (web companies, ISPs, and home router vendors) to permanently enable IPv6. Is the global Internet ready for this? Did all the work over the last ten years set us up for success or failure? (Hint: the answer is success!).

Martin Levy, a long time networking professional, will describe what Hurricane Electric and others have done in order to be ready for 2012. He will review how the global Internet routing tables look for IPv6 and talk about some of the tools used to measure and prepare for this IPv6 nirvana.
