Technology Roundtable
A Technology and Business brief on IPv6 for CEOs, CTOs & CIOs
Jan 19th, 2004, The Taj Residency, Bangalore
Internet Protocol Version 6, popularly referred to as IPv6, is a key
emerging technology, the implementation of which will have a major impact on
your customers and your business.
Does your company understand IPv6, know how to deal with it, and are you
ready to implement IPv6? Business leaders such as yourself need to
understand the business opportunities and new services offered by IPv6, how
these impact will impact your customers and affect your bottom line.
Why should you be here ?
Unlike the coming of IPv4, which suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took
the business community and the national administration by storm, IPv6 is
being introduced in a sane manner. Governments are being sensitized and are
now encouraging adoption of this technology. The European Union, the
Japanese government, the Korean government and very recently the Chinese
government have endorsed this technology and have given guidelines for
adoption within their countries. How should we shape such endorsement and
adoption in our country?
The current version of Internet Protocol (IP) - IPv4 - is under increasing
strain as functional, performance and volume demands increase. In
particular, IPv4ís address space is limited and will eventually exhaust.
IPv6 offers improvements to IPv4 including a dramatically increased address
space. It is the chosen technology for future releases of 3G mobile
networks. However the migration from IPv4 to IPv6 will be complex and will
require changes to network elements, OSS and applications.
