First Australian IPv6 Summit
From Monday 31 October to Tuesday 1 November 2005, Canberra will host the first Australian IPv6 Summit.
Large-scale deployment of Internet Protocol Version 6 is being planned now in Asia, Europe and North America with the US Department of Defence aiming to transition all of its networking to IPv6 by 2008.
Australian organisations must position themselves to take advantage of the opportunities IPv6 offers to innovative users of the Internet and developers of new technology.
IPv6 is a backwards-compatible replacement for the current Internet protocol, IPv4, which will provide inbuilt mobility, quality, manageability and security. The available address space will rise from about 4 billion to 340 billionx4 unique IP addresses, allowing for almost unlimited numbers of systems and networks.
Which sectors are affected by IPv6? • Research and education networks • Defence forces and industry • Numbering and addressing organisations • Transition technology strategists • Convergence technologies like VoIP and ENUM • Government, health and education • Banking and security organisations • Mobility and sensor network technologists • Regional and rural interest groups • Computer and network service providers • New technology end-users and consumers • Operations, administration and management
The First Australian IPv6 Summit will present international keynote speakers to identify major emerging opportunities based on IPv6. Click here for more information.
