APNIC BoF – IPv6 – Are you the chicken or the egg???

As the available IPv4 address space depletes, your organisation will need to find a solution to deal with this challenging situation and maintain your business growth and operation.

IPv6 is currently considered to be the only comprehensive long-term option mature enough to fulfill this need. But, who needs to take the first step – you or your suppliers or clients?

In this session will look at the facts about IPv6 and consider:

• What is happening to IPv4?
• What really is IPv6?
• Why do we need IPv6?
• Why should I deploy IPv6?
• How do I deploy IPv6?
• Current policies and discussions
• What should I do now?

Brett Rosolen, AARNet
BOF for Media Streaming Group

To discuss this new group, its charter and focus, to gather feedback and generate awareness amongst the community.

Services

Providing an in-house email service is so 90’s. Letting go and moving to an externally hosted service – what are the risks, where are the benefits, how much will it actually cost, what about security, privacy to IP … Network with folks who have, are planning to, or are just thinking about such a move at their institutions.
