"IPv6 & the future of the Internet in the UK"
and afterwards a reception at Refectory UCL by kind sponsorship of Cisco Systems
[These lectures are organised by the UK IPv6 Task Force and are free to attend. - Please register (see below). Directions and network access details are below.]
IPv6 is a strategic technology for the Internet. IPv6 is now ready for deployment making it vital that network managers, content & service providers, users and public services start working with IPv6.
Many countries are starting to deploy IPv6 including UK's major trading partners and competitors. The EU Commission has recommended IPv6 and has established a Phase II for the Task Force to promote IPv6 deployment throughout the European Union. The Japanese are also well advanced and Task Forces are being established in many major economies of the world.
These lectures will give an authoritative status of IPv6 in the UK with information about the use of IPv6 for networks and applications. Leading IPv6 experts from the UK and Europe will outline the key activities and opportunities of IPv6 and provide links to assist use and adoption of IPv6. Insight will be given as to the true status and business readiness of IPv6 in actual use and experience in commercial, academic and backbone environments in the UK and bring information on IPv6 progress around the world.
Internet growth continues unabated. Out of a global human population of 6 billion estimates anticipate 1.5 billion will be on the Internet by 2004 growing to around 3 to 4 billion within the next five years as penetration and IP telephony, ENUM and other media based applications take hold.
The current Internet Protocol IPv4 has a maximum address space for 4.3 billion users although in practice allocation and management inefficiencies mean very many fewer addresses are available for use. Clearly we need more addresses if the Internet is going to be able to grow as a resource for everybody.
An Internet Standard of the IETF, IPv6 is designed to replace the current Internet Protocol IPv4 to solve the address shortage on the Internet. IPv6 also includes many features to simplify life for end users and service providers with support for next generation Internet services and applications on mobile, wideband and mutli-media content and bringing built in end to end security as part of the Internet itself.
These lectures are the first in a series of activities of the UK IPv6 Task Force whose members are leading the promotion and awareness of IPv6 in the UK to ensure the UK is at the forefront of the Internet age.
Who should go?
All those whose organisations use and at least partially depend on Internet based
services, or whose customers and competitors around the world are starting to use IPv6. All
those who need and want to participate in the IPv6 Task Force, including public policy and
business policy advisors, strategic directors and managers who need to gain an
understanding of and leading contacts in the IPv6 industry.
