The Path to IPv6 in Cable Networks
Wednesday, February 17 2:00 pm eastern
Description:
At some point, the limited address space in Internet Protocol version 4 currently in use will become depleted. Most predict that this will occur by 2011, thus prompting the move to IPv6. Some operators are already experiencing this limitation, and the pressure is on to move now rather than later. The impact of the transition to IPv6 is certainly going to be felt in terminating devices but also in data centers and the services operating on the network. A clear migration plan is a must for ensuring the successful transition, and during the transition, there will be a need to operate dual stacks to handle both new and legacy devices and services.
