Addressing the growth of the net</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Regular BBC
commentator Bill Thompson sees no reason to worry about the future of the internet
in his latest column. Regarding the recent Arbor Networks study that shows a
slow take-up of IPv6, Thompson says "the figures are not quite as
depressing as they look. According to an excellent analysis of the current
situation from Arbor Networks' Craig Labovitz there are many unseen 'islands'
of IPv6 connectivity that don't register on the survey." Thompson says
"larger ISPs are using the new protocols to manage their internal systems,
especially if they are cable providers using the latest cable modem standard,
DOCSIS 3.0, which has IPv6 support built in."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">"Labovitz
also points out that many hardware providers are already building IPv6 into
their systems, even if customers aren't using it."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Thompson
notes it's hardly surprising it is taking a while for the transition to IPv6.
"TCP/IP was invented in 1974, but it took until 1983 for it to be
generally adopted as the core protocol for the ARPANET and the networks
attached to it."</span></p>

Russian tanks rolled into Georgia, it brought back memories of Soviet-era
military conquest - a reminder of the cold war. But whether by accident or design,
the fight for South Ossettia appears to have given us a taste of the future as
well, with internet attacks on Georgian computer systems resulting in theories
about 21st-century warfare spilling out everywhere. The BBC said the situation
represented a "virtual echo of battles being fought on the ground",
while Slate.com's Evgeny Morozov even enlisted as a Russian cybersoldier to see
what was really happening. But while the past fortnight has seen plenty of
conjecture, there's been very little hard evidence about the conflict that's
taking place in cyberspace.</span></p>
