[afripv6-discuss] Fwd: [afgwg-discuss] 6 Steps for Jump-Starting IPv6 Adoption in Government

Thu May 24 11:46:13 SAST 2012

Dear Victor,

I have created a tunnel 6in4 with he.net and I have used there free DNS
service to configure the zone! that's all
However you can do much more with he.net. for example, you can ask for /48
prefix and configure m0n0wall to advertise your prefix in you LAN. With
this solution you can have an entire LAN with ipv6 global addresses...and
with no cost!!

> bid cycles much, except to add an additional requirement to the process.

> >       • Get IPv6 addresses from your Regional Internet Registry (RIR) or
> Internet service provider;
> >       • Get IPv6 connectivity from your ISP;
> >       • Identify candidate Web and DNS server(s) and the supporting
> network(s) for IPv6 adoption;Audit Web and DNS server(s) and the supporting
> network(s) for IPv6 support;
> >       • For Web and DNS server(s) as well as supporting network(s)
> configure dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 (or employ appropriate transition
> technology); and
> >       • Publish IPv6 DNS records (AAAAs) for the main website.
> > IPv6 Needed
> > IP addresses are the identifying numbers given to each device that goes
> online. IPv4, a protocol with those numbers, was launched in 1981 and has
> about 4 billion addresses. But with the sharp increase of devices
> connecting to the Internet, the last of those IPv4 number has been
> assigned. To meet the increased demand, IPv6 was created.

> > The challenge facing technology professionals is that IPv4 and IPv6
> can’t be merged. Both versions need to run parallel. There are short-term
> solutions, such as assigning an IPv6 address to a temporary IPv4 number,
> but as more devices connect to the Web inevitably the final IPv4 numbers
> will be used up and those devices will be wholly dependent on IPv6 numbers.
> >
> > At some point, domains that aren’t running the IPv6 protocol will not be
> able accessible to those devices operating with only an IPv6 IP address,
> thus the push for IPv6 adoption.
> >
> > So why do some agencies and companies in the U.S. still lack an IPv6
> plan? Ebersman said the delay is likely due to a lack of understanding that
> there actually is an IP address shortage. He explained that the U.S. has
> had a wealth of IPv4 space compared to the rest of the world, so the
> urgency hasn’t been present until now.
> >
> > In addition, mobile connectivity and “bring-your-own-technology”
> initiatives are acting as another driver for IPv6 adoption. In the past,
> handheld devices traditionally didn’t have the bandwidth capabilities that
> computers did, but widespread use of tablets has changed the playing field,
> Ebersman explained.

> > “Even though you don’t think you have a need to provide IPv6
> connectivity, suddenly a whole class of your customers and users that you
> are supporting actually do need to have that,” Ebersman said, referring to
> local and state governments that are now seeing more citizens accessing
> official websites via mobile devices.

> > “While most of the wireless providers are doing transition technologies,
> the performance is not the same as it would be with native IPv6,” he added.
> “There will be a performance difference users will see if you enable v6 as
> well as v4 on your website.”
