Enterprises Ready to Shake Out Some IPv6 Bugs With Worldwide Test
June 2, 2011
With IPv4 practically running on fumes, businesses and government agencies will eventually need to make the leap to IPv6. It won't be an easy process, though, and hitches are to be expected. In order to mitigate those as much as possible, June 8 is World IPv6 day, on which enterprises and agencies will do a dry run on the leap to IPv6.

Gauging the need for speed: Cisco's VNI forecast and the role of IPv6
June 2, 2011
The connected era--where devices accessing IP data networks are ubiquitous--is here, and it's not going away. At a time where even my technology-averse mom is gleefully sending texts to her grandchildren via smartphone and prowling Facebook to see what her retired friends are up to, it's not hard to deduce that the way we communicate has almost completely shifted.

In April, Asia officially ran out of Internet Protocol (IP) version 4 addresses--the computer equivalent of running out of telephone numbers. Over the next couple of years, the rest of the world will also run dry. Yet, unlike the Y2K bug that had some people convinced the sky would fall, this particular problem is generating little more than tired shrugs from IT folks.
