Presentation
Title : Planning an IPv6
integration:
Abstract:
Whether driven by impending
global addresses exhaustion, estimated to occur by 2010,
driven by the limited size of the IP private address space
for today's large networks or mandated by governments, the
upgrade to the next generation of the IP protocol is
becoming a high priority topic. For years people were warned
of an impending IP upgrade but, despite significant efforts
in generating business cases for it, the expected low Return
on Investment (ROI) deterred them from pursuing it. IPv4
seemed good enough. The rapid adoption of IP worldwide and
in all aspects of our life, the expansion of IP
infrastructures and the penetration of the technology in
multiple applications, appliances and services accelerated
the consumption of its resources, the IP addresses. The IP
upgrade now becomes a necessity and Internet Protocol
version 6 should get pushed to the forefront of IT strategy
planning and design.
This session will review the business analysis and planning
steps that are necessary before beginning the technical
integration of IPv6.
